What do you usually have for breakfast? Bread and butter, omelettes, roti, paratha, poha, oats—the list is endless. But have you ever considered the nutrients that you are consuming in the morning? In the hustle of reaching work on time or getting done with the day’s chores, we often neglect the importance of having a healthy breakfast. Nutritionist, Arjita Singh has a solution to this concern. Her instant pudding recipe will save you time and give you the perfect dose of nutrients to start your day.
The nutritionist mentioned that this delicious recipe is high in protein and fibre and extremely easy to make. She says, “It’s important for your first meal to be high in protein and good fat so you have stable blood sugar throughout the day—that helps you experience clean energy, no crashes, no cravings.” No doubt mid-meal cravings lead to all of us having an excess amount of junk food.
