You've probably heard many times that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But what does that actually mean and what should you pay attention to when eating breakfast? This article is about healthy breakfast and how to eat optimally in the morning. The focus is on cereals and especially on sprouted cereals due to their advantages in terms of nutrient absorption and digestibility. At the end of the post, we'll introduce you to our own "Sprouted Love" cereal blend, which is made up of high-fiber organic varieties that you can use for sprouting. Let's go!
The importance of a healthy breakfast
Breakfast is the first meal of the day and lays the foundation for your energy supply and concentration for the rest of the day. If you leave the house in the morning on an empty stomach, you may be tired, unfocused and less able to perform. A balanced breakfast can help regulate your blood sugar levels, boosting energy and concentration .
Cereals are an excellent source of fiber, carbohydrates and protein , making them an ideal basis for a healthy breakfast. Fiber promotes digestion and provides a longer feeling of satiety. Carbohydrates provide energy, while proteins help build muscle and tissue. Whole grains and high-fiber varieties such as oatmeal or quinoa are particularly suitable for breakfast. Bread or muesli made from whole grains can also be a good choice, provided they do not contain too much sugar or fat.
Healthy breakfast: what does it include?
There are a variety of ways to create a healthy breakfast. High-fiber carbohydrates are an important foundation.
High-fiber cereals as a basis
Cereal products such as oatmeal, wholemeal bread or muesli are good sources of fiber and should therefore not be missing from any healthy breakfast. Dietary fiber is important for healthy digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, so that you feel full of energy for longer.
Other important ingredients and options
In addition to fiber-rich cereals, fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and dairy products can also play an important role in a healthy breakfast. Fresh fruits such as berries, apples and bananas contain important vitamins and antioxidants, while vegetables such as tomatoes and avocado also provide important nutrients. Nuts and seeds are a good source of healthy fats and protein and can be used as a topping for cereal or yogurt. Dairy products such as yogurt or cheese can also be a good source of protein and provide the body with important nutrients.
Overall, the more varied your breakfast, the better. Try to combine different ingredients to provide your body with a wide range of nutrients.
Sprouted grain - What makes it special
When it comes to choosing the right cereal, sprouted cereal is a great choice to make your breakfast even healthier. The following reasons explain why sprouted grains are better than regular grains:
Nutritional benefits of germinating grains
During the germination process, grains convert starch and proteins into simple sugar molecules and amino acids that are more easily absorbed by the body. Sprouting also activates enzymes that improve digestion and increase nutrient absorption. In addition, sprouted grains contain higher amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than conventional grains.
Better digestibility and availability of nutrients
Because sprouted grain is easier to digest, the body can better absorb the nutrients it contains. In particular, the bioavailability of vitamins and minerals is higher, which means the body can use them more efficiently. Sprouting cereals also improves the fiber content, which helps keep blood sugar levels stable and aids digestion.
Sprout love: the perfect cereal mix for a healthy breakfast

Sprouted Love is a special cereal blend for sprouting, consisting of the following high-fiber organic cereals:

Your breakfast routine couldn't be more convenient with sprout love and 2-3 sprout jars. Start the following procedure one day later in a new sprout jar:
- Day 1: Soak 3-4 tablespoons per serving in the morning. After 8-12 hours, drain water, rinse again and drain well. Place on stand at an angle and allow to germinate overnight in a completely relaxed manner.
- Day 2: Rinse once in the morning and once in the evening. To do this, fill the glass with water, swirl it a few times and empty it again. Then place the glass back on the stand at an angle.
- Ready! Rinse once in the morning and use directly. We recommend it as a smoothie bowl, smoothie or overnight sprouts. This glass you then use directly again for a new portion.
