Breakfast needs to be healthy and wholesome. It provides the fuel to keep your engine at full throttle all through the day.
Turbocharging breakfast ad-ons are like nectar to health. They don’t just make one energetic but also have active contribution towards improving overall health. They help in strengthening the immunity system and also come with beauty benefits ( beauty increases with the enhancement of health).

So, now you all know the major health benefits of all the ingredients I add to my turbocharging breakfast add-on.
Let me tell you how I enjoy their taste and health benefits in the morning meal
I keep them soaked in water overnight.
I soak almonds separately as it makes the water coloured and is not to be consumed ever. I also peel off the soaked skin before having it. I take 3 almonds.
I soak 2-3 dried figs, 3 cashew nuts, a teaspoon of pumpkin+ sunflower seeds and around 10 raisins overnight. I consume the water in which these are soaked.
I chew all these till they all become a lump-free paste inside my mouth. I keep chewing them till nothing is left of them and are ready to dissolve inside the mouth with a little addition of water. I drink half a glass of water afterward.
If you want you can chew 2-3 whole black peppers along to add a dash of pungency to the sweety-sweet breakfast add-on.
I then, after a while, take something light in the breakfast.
Have it just 4 times a week. Not daily you need to take turbocharged doses. Okay?
Wrapping up
Trust me, this breakfast add-on will improve your overall health considerably. Just ensure you aren’t allergic to these or any of these ingredients.
Some may wonder how could I possibly miss out on Walnuts. Well, they are excellent superpower food undoubtedly. I didn’t mention it simply because I don’t have them. If you want, you definitely should include walnuts too.
You can add or skip certain ingredients I mentioned here as per your choice and convenience or dietary requirements.
May the universe bless us all with good health! We all are and will stay healthy, always🙏🏻🙂
