Every day should always start with a complete and good breakfast, moreover, it is important to know how to choose well what to drink for breakfast.

A wrong habit, because upon awakening our body needs energy to face the day in the best possible way and reach at least until the lunch break.

Skipping breakfast has been shown to negatively impact physical and mental performance.

After a long night’s rest, the body needs new energy, without which the muscles and the brain are unable to work efficiently.

3 drinks to drink at breakfast as an alternative to coffee

One of the reasons people skip breakfast is lack of time, yet it only takes a few minutes to have a nutritious meal and prepare a tasty drink.

Espresso , along with cappuccino, is undoubtedly the favorite of Italians, but for a different breakfast, you can try one of these drinks .

American coffee

This drink is ready in a few minutes, it is prepared with instant coffee . Preparation times are short and the pleasure of enjoying coffee lasts longer. Alternatively, you can also try a narrower version using pods.

Barley is a drink rich in protein and fibre , also a source of vitamins and mineral salts, it is also suitable for those who need to lose weight.

To prepare it, three teaspoons of soluble barley dissolved in hot water are enough to savor its natural and intense taste. Or, if you prefer, in hot milk. Barley coffee is prepared in just one minute, ideal for those who need to optimize times in the morning, without giving up a healthy and nutritious breakfast.

The most frequent mistakes of breakfast

There are behaviors that we assume in the belief that they will not harm us, such as, for example, just having a coffee on the go, or, in contrast, using too much sugar.

Drinking only a coffee without eating foods that provide the right amount of nutrients does not benefit the body which will feel exhausted within a couple of hours.

Many believe that starting the day with a croissant, brioche, coffee, cappuccino or tea is excessive. In reality, according to experts, it’s perfectly fine, but you have to pay attention to sugars.

The World Health Organization suggests limiting the use of sugars in drinks to a minimum , as scientific evidence has linked the consumption of a high quantity of simple sugars to some pathologies such as obesity, diabetes, cholesterol.

Therefore, consuming a croissant or a brioche is not wrong, unless you are following a dietary regimen. But, what to drink for breakfast instead of the usual espresso?
