3 Healthy Suhoor Ideas to Keep You Energized During Ramadan

Let’s admit it, we all feel too tired to wake up for Suhoor. Sometimes all you want to do is have a quick bite before fasting, without the hassle of preparing a meal from scratch. However, the key to staying energised and hydrated while fasting lies in your Suhoor meal.

So, if you’re bored of the same old suhoor routine, we’ve got you covered with easy, delicious, and nutrient-packed recipes you’ll definitely love. 

 

Banana Date Smoothie

This smoothie is perfect for Suhoor because it contains all the nutrients that'll help you feel full during the long hours of fasting. Plus it’s the perfect post-workout shake. Start by blending a ripe banana with pitted dates, then add your favorite milk. If you like an extra nutrient boost, throw in a tablespoon of chia seeds, which are a great source of fiber. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.

 

Oats & Yogurt Parfait

Oats and yogurt Parfait is a delicious and filling option for Suhoor. Start by layering half a cup of rolled oats with half a cup of Greek yogurt in a jar or bowl. Drizzle some honey or maple syrup for a dash of sweetness, and top with your favourite berries. You can add a tablespoon of chia or flax seeds for some extra fiber, and some of your favourite nuts. Then, let it sit in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to allow the oats to soften and bon appetit!

 

Egg and Avocado Toast

If you like avocado, then you have to try out this recipe. Toast a slice of whole grain bread, then mash half an avocado with a pinch of salt, pepper, and any herbs you like (cilantro or parsley). Cook your egg the way you like, whether scrambled, poached, or boiled—and once the toast is ready, spread the avocado on top. Add the egg, and for a little kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or paprika. This simple meal packs in healthy fats, and protein to keep you energized throughout the day.
