Chapter 1: Breakfast and Smoothies

On fasting days, you definitely want to make the most of breakfast. The more satisfying this meal, the easier it will be to make it to the next time you eat. That being said, a bowl of fruit salad is a healthy breakfast, but is not likely to sustain you until dinner, so it’s not a great choice on a fasting day.

To stave off hunger, make sure your breakfast maximizes protein. Eggs, simply prepared, are excellent sources of protein. Another healthy alternative is smoothies, though you have to be careful with these. While packed with nutrition, smoothies (not the ones included here) have a tendency to shoot up your calorie intake.

Carb-heavy foods like cereal, cereal bars, muffins, toast, and so forth can get very high in calories, though some low-cal recipes for these kinds of foods have been included here, for variety. These types of breakfasts are best for non-fasting mornings.
