Groundnuts, rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients, make an excellent addition to breakfast. “Their benefits include sustained energy release, cognitive support, heart health, and weight management,” said Sushma PS, chief dietician, Jindal Naturecure Institute.

Soaking and blending groundnuts enhance their versatility, allowing easy incorporation into smoothies, toppings, or breakfast bowls. “Including groundnuts in your morning meal provides a nutrient-dense, plant-based protein source, contributing to overall well-being and a satisfying start to your day,” said Sushma.

On the benefits of having breakfast, Sushma said that such a vital meal kickstarts your metabolism, stabilises blood sugar levels, and provides the essential nutrients your body needs after an overnight fast.

Tips for a nutritious breakfast

Balance is key: Include a mix of macronutrients – carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats – for sustained energy and satiety.
Whole foods: Opt for whole, minimally processed foods. “Whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables are excellent choices,” said Sushma.
Hydration: Don’t forget to hydrate. Water or herbal tea complements a nutritious breakfast, aiding digestion and promoting overall well-being.
Meal planning: Plan your breakfast to avoid relying on convenient, often less nutritious, options. This helps you make mindful choices, added Sushma.
