Key Takeaways
Breakfast constitutes the first meal of the day, hence it is important to ensure its proper balance to provide the body with the necessary energy for the entire morning. It is recommended that the energy value of this meal should be 25% of the daily requirement and its consumption should not occur later than an hour after waking up. Skipping this meal may result in overeating later in the day and increase the risk of many diseases. A study found that skipping breakfast may be linked to the development of obesity, coronary heart disease, and type 2 diabetes (I. Uzhova et al. 2018).

Is it possible to combine sweetness and health in a morning food consumption?
Many individuals believe that a sweet breakfast is a source of too many calories. However, this is a misconception, as such meals can also be carefully balanced and form a part of a reduced diet. It is important to note, however, that the source of the sweet taste should not be sweets such as chocolate, candies, or creams. These products do not have a high nutritional value and are often concentrated sources of sugars and saturated fats, which is associated with a high energy value. Instead, the source of sweetness should be fruits, which are rich in many vitamins and mineral components.
How to compose a sweet and healthy breakfast
The composition of a daily meal should be based on an appropriate balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. The Healthy Nutrition Table model, developed by the National Institute of Public Health in October 2020, can be useful in composing breakfast. The Healthy Table is a graphic that provides guidance on the product groups that should be included on the plate and in what proportions. It is recommended that half of the plate should consist of vegetables and fruits, so it is advisable to prepare a sufficient amount of favorite fruits in a sweet breakfast. The rest of the plate should consist of carbohydrate-rich products such as oat, barley, buckwheat, millet flakes, flours, and bran or germs, as well as protein and fat-rich products. While composing breakfast, one should not forget the portion of protein, so it is advisable to use milk, yogurt, kefir, buttermilk, cottage cheese or farm cheese. Nuts, seeds, and kernels are also protein sources in the diet, but they are particularly rich in healthy fats, so their addition to a sweet breakfast is also recommended.
