A wholesome second breakfast – practical suggestions for a meal!

The second snack should cover about 10% of our daily energy and nutrient needs. In today's fast-paced lifestyle, where the first snack is often skipped in favor of a quick coffee, its importance becomes even greater. This meal should provide us with sufficient energy for several hours of work or study.

Yogurt with toppings: To natural yogurt, you can add dried fruits, nuts, cereal flakes, or bran.

Fruits: Apples, bananas, mandarins, plums, oranges, persimmons, pomegranates, mangoes. Farmer's cheese with vegetables: Farmer's cheese with chopped cucumber, bell pepper, tomato, radish, or parsley. Salads: For example, fruit salad with yogurt and nuts, vegetable salad with various types of lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, chicken, tuna, or spring salad with carrots, parsley, celery, corn, peas, apple, and cucumber.

Let's give up sweet and carbonated juices in favor of teas, such as green or red tea, herbs like chamomile, melissa, mint. A good choice would also be still mineral water or fresh juices: fruit or vegetable juices. Don't forget to take a healthy second breakfast with you to work, school, or university.
