Christmas breakfast is the best time to treat yourself to a sweet treat: yes, then a slice of panettone or pandoro, a nougat or amaretto, a typical dessert of your own tradition. Obviously, we must not overdo it with quantity, even in view of lunch.
The dessert, however, can also be Christmas in form and light in substance, for example you can propose a very simple yogurt cake, made in a mold in the shape of a fir or other Christmas subjects, if you find all kinds and like to all the family.
If you want to keep light, you can dedicate a Christmas breakfast to fruit consumption; there are many ways to bring it to the table in a fun way; you can, for example, make skewers with seasonal fruit, serve the fruit, already peeled, on a tray by creating small compositions, prepare a pineapple mulled or spiced baked apples with cinnamon .
Another idea is to consume dried fruit, rich in nutrients but caloric (so pay attention to the quantity!). You can, for example, prepare a fresh and dried fruit salad together, or create baskets of dried fruit with a few drops of dark chocolate.
To drink, just a tea or a coffee and an orange juice.
