Suhoor Ideas:

21/04/2020

Here are some delicious ideas of what to have at suhoor so that you are full until Iftar... some of these you can make before hand so you can chill at suhoor ; ).

Suhoor should be a wholesome and filling meal to provide enough energy for many hours. It is important to include slowly-digested foods.

Complex carbohydrates and fibre-rich foods are foods that will help release energy slowly during fasting and are found in bran, grains and seeds, like barley, wheat, oats, cereals, semolina, beans, lentils, wholemeal flour, rice, potatoes, bread, cereals, fruit and veg etc.


  • Scrambled eggs and toast

Or fried egg, boiled, poached. (This also goes with chapatti- aka roti)

  • Fruit-

Bananas are great as they are super filling

  • Oats

Such as porridge, Overnight oats,  Oatmeal cups or these bbcgoodfood-Oaty-raisin-cookies

  • Milk and dates

This is the sunnah of the prophet (to eat dates) but you may need to eat something else as well to stay full for these long fasts.

  • Toast and beans

Or spaghetti or hoops- whatever you got at home.

  • Egg muffins

Super delish! These are like mini omelettes here is a recipe. [make sure to grease the tin]  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh31zowfznU 

  • Pancakes

Or crepes- similar thing here is a recipe... https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/easy-pancakes 

  • Flapjacks

These have oats so are very filling not to mention appetising here is a recipe you can make before hand. Recipe... https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/yummy-golden-syrup-flapjacks 

  • Omelette

Make in advance.  Could be served with toast, chapatti- (roti), pitta etc

  • Hash browns, beans, toast, fried egg

This may be a little long to make in the morning but very filling.

  • Breakfast muffin

These can have any thing you want in them e.g. egg, hash browns, spinach, cheese etc. I put avocado, fried egg, cherry tomatoes and feta cheese inside a toasted muffin. Again, these are super delish and filling

  • Waffles

If you own a waffle maker- these should be made in advance and you could add fruit toppings and chocolate- great for kids. Remember there are also savoury egg waffles you could make.

  • Avocado toast

Simply toast with avocado spread on, plus salt n pepper- So easy!

  • Watermelon

As a side dish this is very hydrating- so brilliant

  • Bagels

This could be regular bagels sliced and toasted (maybe with cheese or cream cheese spread over it) or. you could make pizza bagels- a family recipe of mine. Here's how to make it-

Cut bagels in half, then get tomato (pasta) sauce or even tomato puree and spread it over, then add cheese, next add vegetables if you want (diced) and finally put salt, pepper and drizzle on oil. Then grill or toast them- in the oven until they look ready and the cheese has melted.

  • Drinks-

Milk, water, juice, hot chocolate, smoothies or even rooafsa (a sweet pink drink with milk). These are very important- stay hydrated.

  • Cereal

In addition, with another food- as cereal on its own may not fill you up for the whole day

  • French toast

This is supper yummy! And can be made beforehand, here is a recipe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os5_aSc1ALY 

  • Granola

And why not add fruit and yogurt to make it even more enjoyable.

  • Smoothies

These are good to hydrate and it is filling. You could put bananas, dates, honey, milk, peanut butter, oats, fruits or even vegetables. You could make a smoothie bowl- and put fruits on top as well.

  • Rice pudding

Aka Kheer. This is filling and delicious.

  • Toast

With jam, peanut butter, cream cheese, fruit or lemon curd- anything..

  • Date balls

These are high in energy and are easy to make. You can blend in whatever you want-with the dates... peanut butter, banana, chocolate, nuts, Nutella, coconut, cocoa powder, cinnamon..whatever you want. There are many recipes online to choose from.

  • Muffins

There are some healthy recipes as well online ; )

  • One pan breakfast

Or a Shakshuka (Tunisian inspired dish with feta, poached eggs and a rich tomato sauce). Or you could put in whatever you want..just throw it also into a pan and cook it on medium heat. Recipe.

  • Jacket potatoes

Ok, this is a strange one- for breakfast. However, potatoes are fiber-rich and slow energy releasing so it will last you the whole day. Also, this is easy if you make it in the microwave.
