Its delicious smooth blend and various varieties seductively charm you at the start of your day.

Who doesn’t crave a cup of coffee in the morning? Who would want to miss out on this warm drink that gets you going through the day? 

What is coffee’s role in breakfast?

Coffee is your wake-up call. It contains caffeine, a natural stimulant that gives your day an energetic start. Coffee as part of your breakfast works well with your morning meal to boost your energy for a long day.

Coffee not only makes you alert and energetic but helps improve your attention span, so you perform better on a long task. It also helps you concentrate on office tasks or exams by supporting reasoning and memory skills.

What is a healthy breakfast?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day; it helps meet your nutritional needs and provides you with the fuel for an active day.

For an ideal breakfast, combine one of each of the following group:

Type of food/Group	Choose one option from each group:	Nutritional Benefit
Bread and Cereals	1 bowl of high-fibre breakfast Cereals 2 slices of whole wheat bread 2 toasts	Source of energy

Coffee of your choice	1 cup of NESCAFE® Coffee	A natural stimulant to complement your balanced breakfast
A protein source	1 boiled egg 2 tablespoons of Labneh 2 slices of cheese	Eggs are rich in proteins and phosphorousLabneh and cheese are sources of protein and calcium
A type of vegetable	Tomato Cucumber Carrot	Source of fibre and vitamins
A type of fruit	Orange Apple Banana	Source of vitamins, fluids, and natural sugar

Coffee - before or after breakfast?

It’s a matter of preference whether you are the type who likes to open your eyes to a cup of coffee in the morning or have breakfast and then have coffee. However, nutrition experts recommend that you eat breakfast as early as possible since it plays a vital role in restoring the sugar in the blood after a long night of fasting and provides you with a boost of energy for the day.

Coffee complements your breakfast as it provides the stimulating boost for your mind and body to kick start your day in a good mood. So, what are you waiting for, add a warm cup of coffee with your breakfast for a refreshing day.
