Breakfast is a very important meal – it can make or break your day. It's a meal that we often skip when going out to start the day. But as the saying goes, we should “eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper.” A light and quick breakfast is a simple and very effective way to maintain a balanced diet and get all the energy you need to start your day. A Greek breakfast bowl is all you need.

Greek yogurt with honey and nuts
First of all, we start from a hypothesis that may seem contradictory and even funny, but it is the pure and simple truth. Greeks traditionally don't have breakfast and we're talking about the majority of Greeks!
However, we tend to equate the term Greek breakfast with a hearty breakfast made with natural and healthy ingredients . In fact, these are ingredients that are widely used in the Greek Mediterranean diet and perhaps this is why the Greek breakfast is named.
We are talking about ingredients and products from the land that the country is rich in. Fresh fruit , dried fruit, honey . All raw materials are widely available in the country at all latitudes. But above all, Greek yogurt , a true image of the quality of production and richness.
What does the Greek breakfast include? A bowl of yogurt, a handful of nuts, peanuts, walnuts or almonds and pieces of fruit. Seasonal fruits are the best choice: apples and pears in winter, bananas are easy to find all year round, cherries and strawberries in late spring, peaches and apricots in summer.
The nuts will add an extra note of flavor and if you want a sweetener, natural honey is the safe choice. Greek honey has some amazing varieties, with thyme honey being the most famous. But if you want to make your breakfast more special, why not try a special honey like fir honey or chestnut honey?
How to prepare a traditional Greek breakfast?
Traditional yogurt very quickly brings a feeling of satiety. You can get more energy from nuts of your choice as they are rich in protein and fiber.
Nuts in addition to being rich in protein , calcium and fiber are also rich in omega 3 . Peanuts alone are an excellent source of calcium and a complex of vitamins such as vitamin E, vitamin B and vitamin K for a healthy breakfast. And don't forget your coffee, a pleasure that wakes you up to start your day full of energy.
Here's how to prepare a 100% Mediterranean breakfast:
Place the yogurt in a bowl.
Add the sliced apple or fruit of your choice.
Add the nuts of your choice, a spoonful of Greek honey and enjoy.
