TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal during Ramadan, is a key factor in keeping the body strong and energetic during fasting. More than just filling the stomach, a healthy Suhoor menu should provide long-lasting energy, maintain nutritional balance, and help prevent fatigue or dehydration during the day.
Therefore, it is very important to choose a healthy Suhoor menu that includes complex carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and vitamins. Compiled from various sources, here are some healthy Suhoor menu inspirations to keep the fasting process smooth and the body fit.
Healthy Suhoor Menu
1. Overnight Oatmeal
The first Suhoor menu that can be prepared is overnight oatmeal. This meal consists of oats soaked in milk or yogurt overnight. It is usually topped with chia seeds, honey, and fresh fruit to make it even more delicious. This menu contains high fiber, making you feel full longer.
2. Mayak Eggs
Mayak eggs are a simple but nutritious marinated egg dish from South Korea. Try this menu if you are tired of boiled eggs. In addition to being delicious, mayak eggs also contain high protein, making you feel fuller for longer.
Marinate boiled eggs with seasonings such as soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds, sugar, chili, and green onions. Make sure the eggs are marinated for at least overnight for the seasonings to seep in.
3. Vegetable Salad
Try vegetable salad for Suhoor if you don't want rice. The salad consists of fiber-rich vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. To make it more filling, you can add protein like sliced chicken or boiled eggs. This vegetable salad is low in calories but high in nutrients.
4. Ubi Cilembu
Ubi Cilembu (honey sweet potato) is one of the good complex carbohydrates for the body. The yellow color of Ubi Cilembu also indicates that it is rich in antioxidants.
When baked, Ubi Cilembu releases natural honey. This can be a healthier alternative to additional sugar.
5. Vegetable Pancake
Another Suhoor meal that can be tried is a vegetable pancake. This is a typical Korean food called pajaeon. This food is made with a mixture of flour and vegetables such as carrots, spinach, or corn. Vegetable pancakes can be an option if you are bored with rice or bread menus.
6. Banana Smoothie
Another healthy Suhoor menu is a banana smoothie. You can blend bananas with milk or yogurt. To feel fuller, you can add chia seeds or other fruits.
As quoted from p2ptm.kemkes.go.id, bananas contain potassium, which helps maintain body fluids, making it suitable for consumption during Suhoor. Bananas also help improve the body's metabolism.
7. Shirataki Fried Noodles
Shirataki noodles are known to be low in calories. You can stir-fry Shirataki noodles with vegetables and proteins such as chicken and eggs. This menu can be chosen for those who are on a diet program. Vegetables in stir-fried noodles are also high in fiber, which helps you feel fuller.
