Straining your eyes often, causing visual fatigue? Busy with work every day, easily feeling physically and mentally tired? Therefore, it's crucial to have a good breakfast to replenish energy and maintain your health. Today, we're recommending three eye-care breakfast recipes.
Goji Berry, Pumpkin, and Mixed Grain Porridge
Ingredients: 1 handful of goji berries, 150g of pumpkin, 50g of millet, 50g of red rice, and 4 bowls of water.
Method: Wash the goji berries. Peel the pumpkin, remove the hard skin, and dice it. Wash the millet and red rice. Place everything in a clay pot and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes until ready to eat, or cook in a pressure cooker.
Nutrition Review: The ingredients are rich in lutein, zeaxanthin, and carotene, with a sweet and soft texture.
Carrot and Papaya Milk Pudding
Ingredients: Half a carrot, half a papaya, 500g of milk, and a little sugar.
Method: Steam the carrot and papaya pieces first, then blend them into a puree with a soy milk maker. Mix with milk and add a little sugar to serve. Note: The papaya must be steamed before being mixed with milk, otherwise the enzymes in the papaya will cause the milk to curdle and produce bitter peptides.
Nutrition Review: It has a natural sweet flavor and a very pleasant texture. It should be noted that people with weak stomachs, who are prone to diarrhea or flatulence, should not drink too much.
Goji Berry and Pistachio Soy Milk
Ingredients: 1 handful of pistachios, 25g of soybeans, and 1 handful of goji berries.
Method: Wash the goji berries. Shell and peel the pistachios. Soak the soybeans overnight in advance. Add 1000ml of water and blend everything together in a soy milk maker to make soy milk, ready to drink.
Nutrition Review: Pistachios are one of the nuts with a higher content of carotene, and soybeans also contain a small amount. Paired with goji berries, which are rich in zeaxanthin, the oils in them can promote the absorption of carotene and zeaxanthin.
These three breakfast recipes are all focused on eye care. Different foods have different benefits; for example, nuts can nourish the brain. So, parents shouldn't think that students only need to study. This is also a crucial time for physical growth, making breakfast the most important meal of the day.
