All you ever need is a healthy breakfast that fills you up to energize your day.

But as the days fly by, even thinking about preparing breakfast can tire you out.

Whether you’re a stay-at-home-parent, working-from-home, or an office worker, you’re going to need a filling breakfast.

Stop going to the drive-thru or ordering food and try out these filling breakfasts that are healthy yet simple to make!

What are the most filling breakfasts?

Breakfast and lunch seem so far apart but it doesn’t have to be that way.

In Malaysia, before the COVID-19 pandemic, we would always head to the nearest Mamak for some roti canai, nasi lemak, and a mug of steaming teh tarik.

Long gone were those times and now we are left with cooking up our own breakfast before logging in to work. But it’s not that bad.

At least now we can find healthier options that can fill us up like those Mamak foods – without all the added calories too.

Basically, there are many filling breakfasts for Malaysians that help you stay energized and satisfied longer so let’s get into it.

What if we told you you could rush through getting yourself and your children ready AND have a healthy breakfast? With these tips, you can finally start your day with a quick and healthy breakfast. 

Prepare a Healthy Breakfast Ahead of Time

Nobody has the time to prepare a gourmet breakfast from scratch, especially working mothers. Now, convenience is everything for busy moms. So one way to save time is to make a big batch in advance.

This could be any grab-and-go breakfast that you can make and stock in your freezer when you have the time. Here are some of our suggestions for a healthy make-ahead breakfast:

  • Overnight oats – Make the night before and serve with your favorite fruits
  • Chia seed pudding – Prepare the night before and top with fruits, nuts, or even chocolate
  • Breakfast wraps – Prep the ingredients (scrambled eggs, chicken, sliced meat, chopped veggies) and wrap them in the morning
  • Pancakes – Mix your family’s favorite pancake batter and grill them the morning after
  • Granola bars – Make a trayful of bars and keep them in individual ziplock bags for extra busy days

  • Waffles – Cook them ahead of time then freeze. Thaw them the night before and reheat them in the morning.
  • Scramble Bowl – Freeze some cubed chicken or meats, potatoes, veggies and stir fry them with some olive oil, croutons, and spices.
  • Egg White Frittata – Bake them in a muffin tray for individual servings and pop them in the microwave for breakfast.

breakfast-most-important-meal

You’ve heard it from your mother, you’ve heard from your teachers, even your Doctor – Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  

It’s the first meal after waking up so of course, it’s important, right? Actually, breakfast has so many other reasons to be the mother of all meals. Ever wondered why? 

Breaking a Fast

From the time you had that late-night snack until it’s time for breakfast, you were fasting for several hours. So it’s literally in the name – breakfast. 

Even if you’re not a morning person, your body needs fuel within two hours of waking up. This will impact your blood sugar profile (BSP) and insulin for your energy throughout the day. So if you skip breakfast, not only will your body weaken, but your brain too.

‘I’ll eat brunch’ doesn’t work either. Because if you put off breakfast, you’ll actually be twice as hungry when it’s time to eat. 

Say Goodbye to Heart Disease

If you skip breakfast, odds are you will overeat during the other meals of the day. Overeating is a big no-no because it causes weight gain like crazy. 

When you overeat, your body uses some of the calories for energy but the rest turns to fat. So, more calories may cause you to become overweight easily. 

There’s no shame in being fat but overeating will certainly increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, and other chronic health problems.

Breakfast for the Brain

We all remember our teachers asking us if we ate breakfast or not when the class seems low in spirit and energy. 

That’s because your brain also reaps the nutrients, even from a single banana. Evidently, breakfast is as important for brain function such as focus and concentration just as it is important for body functions. 

There were even studies that showed those who ate oats for breakfast showed better memorization and information retention than those who skipped breakfast entirely. 

Fiber up your day

Skip that roti canai, nasi lemak, and teh tarik, and choose healthier options like whole grains and fruit. 

Sounds boring? There are so many recipes with oats you can try that won’t make every day feel so redundant. Plus, you’ll likely meet the recommended fiber intake which can help reduce cholesterol. 

Stop the constant cravings

Do you usually have unhealthy cravings throughout the day? It’s partly because you didn’t have enough protein for breakfast. 

Studies have shown that rich in protein foods such as scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt, nut butter will keep you fuller longer. 

This prevents you from making poor food choices later on if you were to skip breakfast.

Lose weight by eating more breakfast

Chances are, if the largest meal you have in a day is your breakfast, you’ll definitely lose weight! Nonetheless, large doesn’t mean all-you-can-eat. 

Stick to a healthy portion of fiber, folate, calcium, iron, and B vitamins. That way, you’ll eat less for lunch and dinner which will perfectly balance your calorie intake.
