The holy month of Ramadan brings a lot of enthusiasm, blessings, peace, harmony and food treats. This is the time when the fast begins and you need to eat food which can provide you energy and that can last till the time of breaking your fast. In sehri eating and drinking a lot is not the right way to start your fast. You should choose food that is digested slow and provides energy for a longer period.
Before Ramadan starts, people search different Ramadan menu ideas and food recipes through the television cooking program, internet, books and magazines. Remember, for the healthy sehri menu, your food should be a combination of protein and fiber. Here is my favorite or you can say the best sehri menu for Ramadan.
