Yes, rice and stew would be a great idea for work. You do not need to break the bank to make this popular dish but include vegetables in the making of your rice. You should also dice your carrots, green beans, and peas and steam them into your rice when almost done. Again, if you want, use it instead in your stew.
Oh, yes, Danwake served the right way is a good food to eat for Suhoor. Cabbage, boiled eggs, tomatoes, and cucumber are the major ingredients. Wash and chop these vegetables into your cooked Danwake dish. Tamarind juice is beneficial to one’s health as it helps curb cholesterol levels and reduces the accumulation of unhealthy fats present in the food you consume.
Potatoes are rich in carbohydrates, water, and protein and are a filling food to eat for suhoor. Ensure, to add vegetables to your sauce to make it a completely healthy food.
People who love to eat swallow regardless of when are not left out of our suhoor ideas. Swallows such as wheat, paired with fresh okra soup, or even dried depending on preference. Make sure to add vegetables like Ugu, or a dash of washed bitter leaf.
Oatmeal is a very filling food choice. The soluble fiber helps to reduce the feeling of hunger and the stomach from emptying quickly during the day. Add in some dates, bananas, and strawberries as toppings, to your oatmeal.
According to research, a glass of milk can keep a person full for exactly five hours. Therefore, you may especially prefer milk for your suhoor meal. Milk, on the other hand, will keep you full and provide you with the minerals and vitamins you will need during the fasting period.
It is recommended to eat whole wheat bread due to its health benefit of helping to get rid of body waste. As it is fiber-filled, it helps you eat less. Adding a filling of Avocado with Egg makes it the perfect food to eat for suhoor. Avocado is enriched with an excellent source of monounsaturated fat and vitamin E and is a good source of folate. They also supply more soluble fiber than other fruits and contain several useful minerals including iron, copper, and potassium.
You can either cook your spaghetti with sauce or jollof and don’t forget to complement it with vegetables. Spaghetti is rich in fiber, protein, and minerals like calcium, iron, phosphorus, and magnesium.

Egg sauce made with tomatoes and boiled Yam is an Ideal food to eat for suhoor. Remember that you are better off boiling your yam than frying as fried food makes you thirsty and hungry.
Smoothies are not only simple to make during suhoor but will leave you asking for more and are packed with fruits that contain fiber, and magnesium which are also replenishing food to eat for suhoor. I recommend Mangoes, bananas, and date smoothies.
Staying hydrated during suhoor is very important. Avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks, instead, fruit juice should be taken, reduce your sugar intake, and avoid fried food. Not only are they not healthy for suhoor, but they also make you dehydrated. Again, drink water and eat in moderation.
