Sunny Side Up: Breakfast Favorites That Never Disappoint

Most of us have heard the saying, ‘breakfast is the most important meal of the day,’ but how many of us believe this? Not enough, with a recent study of 30,000 adults revealing that 15% of individuals regularly skip breakfast. Unfortunately, those of us who skip breakfast are far more likely to feel drained during the day, with less alertness and reduced brainpower.

Not to mention, not eating breakfast is setting your body up for disaster since your nutrient, mineral, and vitamin intake is reduced, leaving your body more susceptible to developing illnesses later in life. So why risk missing breakfast and depriving your body of feeling energized and nourished?

If you don’t have time to make a nutritious and healthy meal during the day, you can stop by Galuppi’s for breakfast in Pompano Beach to enjoy breakfast in a breathtaking location. We offer everything from eggs benedict and classic avocado on toast to something meaty. ​​​​​​

A Few Breakfast Favorites That Never Disappoint

Each meal discussed below is worth trying, especially if you want to be healthy while consuming something that’s nutritious and tastes divine.

Savory & Sweet Breakfasts

• Avocado on toast: You can’t go wrong with this delicious but simple meal featuring smashed avocado, white bread, and pepper flakes.
• Cinnamon French toast: Cinnamon is one of the most effective anti-inflammatory spices, so you can’t go wrong with sprinkling it on some delectable, fluffy French toast. Add some fresh strawberries or blueberries to the mix if you want even more antioxidants.
• An egg sandwich. Those looking for a quick bite to eat and who want a sandwich that’s bursting with flavor should try an egg sandwich. The best egg sandwiches have more than one egg, American cheese, and ham assembled on a fresh Kaiser roll.
• Almond French toast: If you’re vegetarian or don’t want to be weighed down by a heavy breakfast, a slice or two of almond French toast is the perfect way to fuel up and head out.
• Oatmeal: One of the most nutritionally rich breakfast foods is oatmeal. A bowl of oatmeal has more protein in it than many other grain breakfasts, alongside much-needed fiber and numerous vitamins and minerals.
• Belgian waffles: Those with a sweet tooth should have Belgian waffles for breakfast at least once a week. These savory but sweet treats go with anything from fresh fruits, ice cream, and whipped cream to tasty chocolate chips.

Egg Breakfasts

• Veggie benedict: Vegetarians can rejoice with a classic twist on the usual eggs benedict meal. A veggie benedict usually comes with delicious spinach, fresh-cut tomatoes, and hollandaise sauce on top of a just-baked English muffin.
• Irish hash benedict: Sometimes you just want a little beef with your eggs benedict, and there’s nothing wrong with that. So try an Irish hash benedict with corned beef, scrumptious hash browns, and hollandaise sauce atop some toast or an English breakfast muffin.
• California benedict: Avocado goes with everything, including eggs benedict. So get yourself a healthy California benedict breakfast and enjoy a delicious blend of flavors from the mozzarella, avocado, and hollandaise sauce.

Meaty Breakfasts

• Shrimp and grits: Shrimp might not be a traditional breakfast choice, but who says you need to follow the rules? Shrimps are heart-healthy, tasty, and rich in Omega-3, and adding grits to the mix is a good way to get in extra fiber, minerals, and sodium during your breakfast meal.
• Steak and eggs: Sometimes you wake up and realize you’re starving. On mornings like this, you need something hearty and filling, and there’s perhaps nothing that will hit the spot better than some deliciously cooked steak and eggs. If you’re feeling closer to the ravenous side, no one can stop you from adding a few hashbrowns, grits, or fires to the plate, too.
• Pancakes and sausage: It might not sound like they go together, but there has never been a more tasty combo than pancakes and sausage. Depending on your mood and breakfast taste preferences, give buttermilk pancakes and ham, bacon, and different types of sausage a go.

Why Is Breakfast Important? ​​​​​​

You don’t want to be one of the people who dismisses breakfast as an unimportant meal of the day – especially after you have a look at the reasons below:

Provides Essential Nutrients, Vitamins, & Nutrients

The right breakfast foods are rich in several key nutrients, minerals, and vitamins, with breakfast providing most of the nutrients you’ll need for the day. For example, most healthy breakfast meal options will possess iron, calcium, fiber, folate, and B vitamins.

Those who eat breakfast are more likely to meet their recommended daily intakes of minerals and vitamins than those who don’t, meaning if you eat breakfast, you’re likely to have more energy during the day.

A study proved that missing breakfast can put you in a nutrient and mineral deficit. Some of the key common vitamins people who don’t eat breakfast lack include Vitamin A, B vitamins, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.

In addition, a 2017 trial of participants with and without type 2 diabetes revealed that not eating breakfast disrupts circadian rhythms. The individuals who skipped breakfast also had higher spikes in their blood glucose levels when they eventually ate. So, skipping breakfast can also negatively affect your blood sugar and your internal clock!

Helps With Weight Control

Contrary to popular belief, eating breakfast every day doesn’t make you more likely to gain weight and be obese. Those who don’t eat breakfast have an increased risk of being overweight and obese, according to recent research. This is because eating breakfast helps with weight control in two ways.

Firstly, eating breakfast prevents large fluctuations in your blood glucose levels. This helps your body control your appetite. Secondly, eating breakfast fills you up before you get the chance to become truly hungry, making an individual less likely to eat unhealthily when hunger strikes.

It Boosts Brain Power

Unfortunately, not having breakfast is a recipe for disaster if you have a jam-packed day filled with tasks that require focus. Not eating breakfast has been linked to feelings of sluggishness and difficulty focusing and concentrating because your brain doesn’t receive the energy it needs to function.

So, if you want to improve your mental performance, including your memory, concentration, and attention, you should eat breakfast.
