Not only do I find a fruit breakfast in the morning to be the most blissful breakfast, there is no better and more nutritious breakfast in my opinion.

Fruit alone I don't recommend so much, it's best to supplement with:

• whole yogurt or other whole dairy or a vegan variety such as coconut milk
• A variety of seeds and possibly nuts.

The fiber from the seeds and nuts and the fat from the yogurt ensure that the fruit sugars are absorbed more slowly, moreover, it is mainly the yogurt, seeds and nuts that satiate you. Therefore, my advice is: first divide the yogurt over the plates, then the seeds and nuts and finally the fruit.

fruit > provides an arsenal of polyphenols seeds and nuts > provide mostly fiber and a variety of minerals whole yogurt > provides live bacteria in addition to good fats

All ideal nutrients that your gut thrives on. Provided, of course, that you have no allergies or intolerances to any of these ingredients.

Ingredients I like to vary with:

• Yogurt: Goat yogurt, sheep yogurt, coconut milk, cream or yogurt, sour cream, flat cheese, fresh cheese, ...
• Fruit: Eat seasonal fruit and eat it ripe. Unripe fruit is not tasty and it can also cause cramps. If you follow the seasons, a fruit breakfast never gets boring because you get different flavors, colors and textures each time. Dried and soaked prunes or baked apples also bring variety, especially in the winter months.
• Seeds: Flaxseeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, pine nuts, sesame seeds ... I don't grind the seeds.
• Nuts: Almond nuts, pistachios, walnuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, ...
  The nuts I grind coarsely.
  Fun fact: 1 to 2 Brazil nuts provides the daily requirement of selenium, a mineral that U-Ghent has shown that its deficiency can lead to more severe disease progression in Covid.
• Extras: Pollen grains, toasted nuts and seeds, soaked or dried fruit, raw cacao nibs, fresh flower petals in summer (rose petals, lavender, blue cornflower petals, ...)
