Lenten breakfasts

Breakfast in Lent

It is not for nothing that breakfast is called the main meal, because it gives a boost of energy for the coming day. Breakfast during Lent is even more important, since with the restriction of goods of animal origin, the body is all the more in need of proper reinforcement.

You shouldn’t think that you won’t have anything to eat for breakfast during Lent, since butter and yogurt, eggs and milk have been removed from the menu. There are essentially a lot of options, and they are all no less appetizing and satisfying.

We are used to starting the morning with porridge - breakfast during Lent can include any regular cereal - be it oatmeal, buckwheat or rice. You will have to give up milk and butter, but you can make up for their absence by adding dried fruits or berries. A good addition to porridge would be a sauce, for example, mushroom or vegetable.

We are used to enjoying pancakes in the morning - and breakfast during Lent does not prohibit this dish. Just prepare the dough without eggs and milk - lean pancakes are easy to bake and taste as good as ordinary ones.

Another beautiful option is dough pies without quick ingredients. Such pies can be baked with entrails made from cabbage, herbs, mushrooms, peppers, and potatoes. You can not only have a hearty breakfast with them, but also take them with you to work for lunch or as a snack.

You can serve salad for breakfast during Lent. There are a huge number of recipes for lean salads, so throughout Lent you can prepare lean salads for yourself in the morning - both cool and warm. Use an abundance of vegetables and fruits so that the prepared dishes constantly amuse you and your family. Do not forget that tofu is one of the foods allowed during fasting. Since it is a soybean product, this “cheese” can be safely included in your Lenten menu. With all this, tofu is rich in protein and therefore will perfectly compensate for the lack of this important element.

If you have time, you can cook something more substantial - bake vegetables or pita bread with entrails, for example, bean puree.

During Lent, you can treat yourself to rice pudding, which is made from rice and soy milk with the addition of raisins, nuts, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup.

Among the drinks that would be appropriate for breakfast during Lent are vegetable and fruit smoothies, juices, regular tea and coffee (but with soy milk, not cow's milk).

Lenten breakfasts for any day of the week

One of the most difficult tasks during fasting is eating breakfast. After all, for breakfast we are accustomed to eating products of animal origin: eggs in all varieties, cottage cheese, milk porridge, coffee with milk and, in the end, sandwiches.

Life is easier for everyone who loves porridge: you can cook it in water, too, add nuts and berries for taste - and breakfast is ready. You can completely replace cow's milk with its plant-based version.

But what can you do if you are used to eating sandwiches for breakfast? Here, various vegetable pates and varieties of caviar (eggplant, squash, onion) will come to the rescue - they all mix perfectly with grain bread, different types of pita bread, and pita bread. You can vary your menu with rice paper or Mexican tortillas. In the first one, wrap some marinated shrimp, sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with soy sauce. And in a Mexican tortilla you can wrap corn, fried with onions and sweet peppers, season everything with spicy tomato sauce - that’s a vegetable quesadilla.

You can put mugs of fried eggplant and zucchini on bread, as well as avocado slices. Or green lettuce leaves, cucumbers, tomatoes and sweet peppers... There are a huge number of options.

We bring to your attention a morning Lenten menu for any day of the week. For weekdays the recipes are simpler and quicker, and on weekends the recipes are the most labor-intensive.

Quick Lenten Breakfast Options

Here is the post in the yard. Time to remember successful and tested Lenten recipes and invent new ones. The biggest difficulties with what to cook during Lent, surprisingly, are caused not by lunch and dinner, but by breakfast. Let's try to solve them together.

So, meatless breakfasts. Absolutely, we are used to having breakfast in our own way. And if one person likes to snack on a sandwich or a sweet bun with tea, then the second one will demand porridge, and the third one will want a real 3-course breakfast plus sweets for tea. The fourth may absolutely love fruit salad, and he will limit himself to this. It will be difficult to please everyone, but we will try.

Sandwiches

In a general sense, a sandwich is a piece of bread or toast with something edible on top. There are possible options here. A tried and true option: decorate a piece of bread or toast with hummus, a piece of tomato, cucumber and a leaf of lettuce. I will give subsequent options according to recipes.

Mushroom caviar

• Champignons - 0.5 kg;
• Onion - 1 large onion;
• Carrots - 1 pc.;
• Vegetable oil;
• Salt.

Fry chopped onions and carrots in a frying pan. Boil the champignons in salted water, drain the water. Dry the mushrooms in a cardboard towel. Beat all the ingredients in a blender or pass through a meat grinder. Place in a glass jar and store in the refrigerator until the acquired beauty is completely destroyed.

Forshmak

• Herring - 1 pc.;
• Onion - 1 onion;
• Carrots - 1 pc.

We clean the herring from bones and films. Stew the onion in a frying pan, boil the carrots. Beat all ingredients with a blender or pass through a meat grinder. Place in a glass jar. Serve with greens.

Bruschetta

• Tomatoes - 3 pcs.;
• Basil;
• Olive oil;
• Salt;
• Garlic (to taste).

Scald the tomatoes with boiling water, remove the skin and cut into cubes. Rub toast or toasted bread with garlic and place cooked tomatoes on top. Season with salt, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with basil leaves.

Porridges can be both sweet and salty. You can completely combine salads or a handful of nuts with salty cereals. With sweet porridges - berry toppings, honey or a handful of new berries.

Oatmeal porridge is a favorite. If you add a little vegetable seasoning and a spoonful of vegetable oil, then this porridge can be eaten as a side dish with cucumber and tomato salad or with cabbage and cucumber salad. If you cook the porridge with added sugar, and dump a handful of new berries on top, you will get a healthy and necessary dessert.

Porridges can be anything: buckwheat, pearl barley, rice. They cook quite quickly and have a great effect on the digestion process and overall well-being. It is not for nothing that virtually all diets (Diet is a set of rules for human consumption of food) are based on cereals.

Pancakes

Pancakes are the personification of comfort and care. In addition, preparing them is really simple and quick.
