Overnight soaked Oatmeal (1/2 oats, 1 cup milk, 2 teaspoons chia seeds, 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon honey).

2) Two eggs omelette with veggies mixed with it

3) Overnight soaked dry fruits (10 almonds, 10 cashews, 4 dates, 2 figs, 1/2 handful of resins) or make a smoothie with fruits and soaked nuts and seeds.

4) Veg bowl of dal or channa or rajma or any lentil of choice, or paneer burji. 1 cup of yoghurt and 2 dates as dessert.
