I don’t know about you but I can’t be eating rice and curry for suhoor. Suhoor for me is oats, shakes and smoothies, so here are 5 Suhoor inspo ideas. Planning your meals for Ramadan can also help to ensure you are having healthy and energising meals to keep you going. Suhoor, if done right, can make your fast all that better. A good way to approach suhoor is to ensure complex carbs, protein, good fats, fruits, veg and water are all in the mix.

1. Overnight Oats

Oats with plenty of fruits are a quick, easy and slow energy releasing breakfast. Add fruit, yogurt, nuts and oats in a jar, mix together and leave in the fridge. By the time you get up for suhoor it will be ready! You can also bulk up your meal with dates, chia seeds or flax seeds.

2. Smoothie Bowls 

A smoothie bowl is a blend of fruits, veggies and other components such as avocado and oats. Unlike a smoothie that you drink, the consistency is slightly thicker with plenty of sprinklings on top. For more inspo just scroll through Instagram #smoothiebowls and you will see bowls that look more like art than a breakfast!

3. Eggs, eggs, eggs 

I love eggs, breakfast, lunch or dinner – the versatility of eggs is what I love. Scrambled, poached or mixed up with vegetables, eggs are a great morning starter. Eggs can also be accompanied with many other goodies like salmon, avocado or cheese.

Thursday: Pao de Milho, Portuguese style cornbread, toasted, with eggs, avocado and roast cherry toms, a swirl of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of gomashio ???????????????? – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – We are off to London right this second ✈️???????? Unfortunately I can’t promise much in the way of an exciting adventure, we’re boxing up our flat and putting everything into storage! ???????????? #symmetrybreakfast

Wednesday: Ful Medames, a broad bean breakfast from several countries in the Middle East, it reminds me of a cousin of oatmeal porridge and a lentil dal. Topped with lots of olive oil, parsley, fresh tomato, onion and cucumber, with a twist of lemon and a cup of tea ???????? Recipe is in my book too! – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Whilst you do have to presoak some beans the evening before, the recipe is a doddle, super cheap and very healthy too, if you omit the egg topping then the rest of the dish is vegan too ????????????#symmetrybreakfast

Saturday: Tomato and beetroot shakshuka, with twisty kale and cheddar breads for dunking and dipping ???????????????????????????? – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – We’re off out for a day in Shanghai with our fabulous friend @felicityspector who sadly doesn’t get a symmetrical breakfast but is happy with the gruel I give her instead ???? #symmetrybreakfast

4. Smoothies 

Sometimes it may feel difficult to eat suhoor because you had a big iftaar. Smoothies are a great way to get something down while nourishing you. Add a handful of oats to bulk this up. Prepping bags of frozen fruit and veg is a great way to make this quick and easy for those mornings where you’re more zombie than human.

5. Pancakes

Bulking up pancakes with protein powder and a side of fruits can be a yummy and fun suhoor meal. If pancakes feel a bit too much for your suhoor meal then consider making mini ones which you can also store for the next morning!
