If you've been trying to find a healthy meal to start enjoying in the morning, we suggest taking the Icelandic breakfast approach!
Follow along with our Wave Soda blog today to learn what a normal Icelandic breakfast consists of, and what other countries make the list of healthiest breakfasts.
What's In An Icelandic Breakfast?
Fun fact: Iceland boasts the healthiest breakfast in the world according to many dietitians.
Why? Well a normal breakfast in Iceland consists of the following foods:
- oatmeal
- skyr yogurt
- fruit
- coffee
- cod liver oil
From personal experience living in Iceland, I can tell you skyr is one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten.
Just looking at that spread, it's not hard to tell why Icelandic breakfast is considered one of the healthiest in the world.
This meal contains high amounts of protein, fibre, and omega 3 fatty acids, plus it is low in fat and salt.
If you aren't a coffee drinker, consider substituting in one of our unsweetened sodas instead! Made with all-natural ingredients and polite caffeination, it is a great option for a morning pick-me-up.
