Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast are mentally and phisically healthier, whereas pleople who skip it, have problems with weight, attention, and metabolism. But breakfast is not just a cup of coffee and a slice of toast, or a cup of hot chocolate and an arepa, as is customed in Colombia. It should include four main components: a carbohydrate (i.e. grains or cereals), fruit and/or vegetables, a protein food (i.e. eggs, meat or fish), and a beverage (tea, coffee, milk or fruit juice). This video will give you some healthy ideas for your breakfast.
(Example of a healthy breakfast)
The following are two delicious breakfast ideas that I've tried. The first one is an almojábana cake that has cheese and guava jelly inside. Almojábanas are a type of bread made with corn flour that are very typical in South America. You can have this delicious cake with some fruit and a cup of Colombian coffee. The second is simply pancakes, fresh orange juice and fruit.
