Healthy Sahur Menu to Stay Strong While Fasting. Here’s the Menu!

Hello, Dear Initiators! How’s your fasting going today? I hope you’re staying strong and motivated. Sometimes, fasting can make us feel tired. If you’re feeling fatigued, it might be time to pay attention to your sahur menu. A healthy sahur menu greatly impacts your body’s condition throughout the day. In this article, we’ve gathered some healthy sahur menu ideas from various sources to help you stay energized while fasting. Eating a healthy sahur doesn’t mean you have to eat large portions; sometimes, a large meal doesn’t make us feel refreshed.

Before we dive into the healthy sahur menu, here’s something important: the timing of sahur. The best time to eat sahur, following the teachings of Rasulullah, is just before Subuh, around 20-30 minutes before the azan.

Here are some healthy sahur menu options that will help you avoid feeling weak during your fast.

1. Dates

The first and essential food to eat during sahur is dates. Dates were a regular part of Rasulullah’s sahur and are a great practice to follow. According to siloamhospital.com, dates are packed with vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, B complex, C, E, K, calcium, iron, and potassium, all of which are vital for the body’s daily nutritional intake.

2. Spinach and Corn

The second menu is spinach and corn. Vegetables are a must-have for a healthy sahur. As alodokter.com points out, spinach and corn are excellent sources of fiber. Fiber takes longer to digest, helping to keep you feeling full for a longer period and maintaining your energy throughout the day.

3. Eggs

Another healthy sahur option is eggs. Eggs are simple yet packed with nutrients like protein, calcium, and various vitamins, such as A, B3, B12, D, E, K, and B6. The protein in eggs will help you stay full for longer and prevent you from feeling weak during your fast. Additionally, the protein is beneficial for those looking to gain weight.

4. Fruits

Lastly, don’t skip out on fruits. Fruits such as pear, avocado, orange, banana, or mango are rich in fiber, helping you stay full for a longer time and giving you the strength to carry on with your fast throughout the day.
