▷ Healthy breakfast for a turbo start to the day

Are you looking for breakfast ideas, brunch recipes, or inspiration for a varied start to the day? Do you consider freshly squeezed orange juice a must? Why not try using different fruits or vegetables and squeezing the juice yourself? We have suggestions for healthy juices that don't take much effort.

If you want to squeeze juice yourself, you can use a slow juicer. We'll share some tempting recipes with you. And if you aren't much of a breakfast person, perhaps we can help you too: you’re going to drink something anyway – so smoothies are a great option. On the weekend, when you have more time, you can invite people over for brunch or treat your family. A juicer can also provide varied breakfast ideas on those occasions.

A delicious breakfast doesn't have to be unhealthy

You can also easily make pancakes more varied. For example, prepare them using whole wheat flour and serve them with fresh fruit. When sweetening, you can use a little honey or real maple syrup sparingly. In a non-stick pan, you can reduce the amount of butter or oil used.

Bee honey and maple syrup also consist primarily of sugar and should therefore not be considered "healthy sugar." However, due to their flavor, they can be a way to round off dishes with comparatively little added sweetness.

And even more on the topic of sugar: with pre-made fruit yogurt, it is also worth taking a look at the ingredient list. A simple alternative is natural yogurt with fresh fruit. If you like, you can round it off with a little honey or maple syrup.

Sugar can also be added to store-bought multivitamin juices and fruit nectars. An alternative is freshly prepared juices, where you decide for yourself which ingredients are used. Berries provide phytochemicals, among other things, and citrus fruits are a popular ingredient for fresh juices in the morning.

As you can see, there are many ways to turn a simple breakfast into a varied and balanced one. Healthy juices can be a delicious addition.

Healthy breakfast – looking for recipes?

An American breakfast or English breakfast isn't necessarily a light meal. However, with a few small modifications, you can turn them into a varied fitness breakfast.

What makes a healthy breakfast?

A good breakfast can help you replenish energy and fluids after the overnight fasting period. It doesn't always have to be a large meal.

A breakfast juice can be a way to integrate fluids and fruit or vegetables into your morning. If you prefer it sweet, you can use melon or other fruits, for example. If you like it savory, you can make vegetable juice yourself.

Other healthy breakfast ideas can consist of whole grain products, fruit, vegetables, natural yogurt, nuts, or seeds. This allows you to put together your breakfast individually.

Even a breakfast for weight loss doesn't have to cut out carbohydrates entirely. What is decisive is the overall diet. Juices made from fruit and homemade vegetable juices can be a supplement. American or English breakfast ideas are also suitable for brunch recipes, which can be made more varied with small changes.

Electric juice press? Buying a slow juicer

A slow juicer operates at a low speed and is a practical way to prepare freshly squeezed juices. If you want to make juice yourself regularly, a suitable juicer can make the preparation easier.

Makes sense right after this section, as the topic "buying a slow juicer" is already being covered here.

Recipes for breakfast juice

We all know the classic. Freshly squeezed orange juice tastes good at any time of day or night. But there are many more juicer recipes. Why not try:

Orange juice with mango and banana

• 1 orange

• 1 mango

• 1 banana

• Juice of one lime

• 1 small piece of ginger

Tip: Since the flesh of mangoes is firmly attached to the pit, it cannot be easily removed like with peaches, apricots, or plums. Peel the mango and cut the edible flesh from the pit with a sharp knife.

Cucumber juice

Add 1 cucumber and dill to taste to the slow juicer. Then add 3 tablespoons of buttermilk and a little apple cider vinegar to the freshly squeezed juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The flavor of the drink is reminiscent of cucumber salad and is refreshing and tart.

You can also add a tomato. Onion salt, garlic salt, or celery salt make this juice particularly savory.

If you don't like it quite so thin, you can seed the cucumber. To do this, peel and halve it, cut the halves lengthwise, and remove the seeds with a spoon.

Tomato-celery juice

Juice 3 medium tomatoes and half a stalk of celery in the slow juicer.

Then add 1 tablespoon of crème fraîche and a few drops of Tabasco and season with salt and parsley to taste.

You can easily make many different types of vegetable juice yourself.

Smoothie for those with no appetite in the morning

Whether an unhealthy breakfast or no breakfast at all is better is a matter of debate.

Here is one of the useful breakfast ideas for anyone who doesn't feel like eating in the morning. For this smoothie, take one banana, one apple, and one orange. Peel, cut, and put everything in the juicer.

Fill up with milk. As a vegan variant, you can use oat or almond milk. Add 1 teaspoon of honey, 2 teaspoons of ground almonds, and 2 tablespoons of fine oat flakes.

This creates a small, delicious breakfast to drink. Banana, oat flakes, and almonds provide carbohydrates, fat, and protein, among other things, and make the smoothie a more filling option than a pure fruit juice.

Healthy breakfast – recipes

Breakfast recipes, brunch recipes

English breakfast and American breakfast are particularly suitable as brunch because they are relatively hearty and filling. They offer hot and cold dishes, as well as sweet and savory options. Freshly squeezed orange juice can be a delicious addition.

As promised, here are a few tips on how you can make the originals a bit lighter and more varied. However, this does not make it a low-calorie breakfast or a diet breakfast.

American-inspired breakfast brunch

Traditionally, an American breakfast includes fried or scrambled eggs with bacon. You can replace the bacon with crispy fried smoked tofu, for example. Thin eggplant slices, fried crispy in the pan and seasoned with smoked salt, also go well with it.

Serve with whole wheat toast. Pancakes are often eaten with maple syrup. When buying, pay attention to the ingredients and choose maple syrup instead of flavored sugar syrup whenever possible. Make the pancakes with whole wheat flour and add berries, which you can also use frozen.

Try an exotic juice made from pineapple, kiwi, papaya, and mango to go with it.

English-style breakfast brunch

There are many breakfast recipes for an English breakfast. Fried eggs with bacon, sausages, baked beans, and toast are typical components of the first meal of the day.

If you prefer a lighter version, you can partially replace the bacon and sausages. Whole wheat toast and orange marmalade complement the breakfast. This does not automatically make it a diet breakfast or a breakfast for weight loss, but you can make the selection more varied.

A juice made from berries and grapefruit tastes particularly good with this. With a juicer, you can easily prepare such juices yourself.

Juice diet recipes – also suitable for healthy breakfast ideas

Especially if you regularly prepare freshly squeezed juices, a slow juicer can be practical support.

For a special apple juice, you only need a few apples and a small bunch of parsley. Cucumber or young spinach leaves can also be added.

Pineapple and ginger provide an intense aroma and go well in various juice combinations.

Vegetable juice can also be prepared in a varied way. You know tomato juice, but it tastes especially fresh when homemade. You can supplement it with yogurt and a little lemon. It becomes thinner if you dilute it with a little vegetable broth.

Tomatoes, a yellow bell pepper, lemon juice, pepper, celery salt, and a pinch of garlic salt are turned into a savory drink in the juicer.

Note: A pure juice diet is not automatically balanced and should not replace a permanent form of nutrition. For everyday life, varied meals with fruit, vegetables, whole grain products, and other nutrient-rich foods are the more sensible foundation.
