Suhoor Ideas for Super Strong Kids

Dear Muslim Kids,

Assalamualaikum!

‍

The Prophet (ﷺ) told us, in a hadith, that

“The Suhoor is a meal of blessings, so do not leave it, even if one of you just takes a gulp of water, as Allah (ﷻ) sends mercy and His angels seek forgiveness for those who take Suhoor.”

‍

Aside from the amazing blessings in it, eating Suhoor that is well-balanced and full of healthy nutrients, will fuel you up to worship Allah (ﷻ) all day long InshaAllah!

‍

We know it’s difficult to eat so early in the morning, so try different things to keep it interesting! 

‍

Following are our Super Suhoor ideas that keep us active and energetic all day. 

‍

The Very Berry Smoothie

This delicious concoction is jam packed with nutrients and antioxidants. Easy to make and easy to drink.

• 1 banana
• 3 dates
• Handful of frozen mixed berries or just the berry of your choice
• ¾ cup milk
• 3 almonds
• A dash of honey

‍

Throw it all in a blender and blend it till it becomes smooth. Enjoy!

‍

The Fun Leftovers

Who said you can only eat breakfast items in the morning? 

You can eat whatever you like for Suhoor. Yes, even Iftar leftovers! Use them in a sandwich or paratha roll.

The only rule is that your meal should be rich in nutrients and fiber to help you last all day long till Iftar and not collapse mid day!

Overnight Oat Pudding

Overnight Oat pudding jars are a great way to try fun flavors and get some good fiber in. Since they are prepared overnight, they make for a super quick Suhoor.

Eggcited for Suhoor yet?
