Ramadan 2026 is almost here, expected to begin around February 18, 2026. While preparing for a month of spiritual reflection and fasting, it is equally important to plan our meals properly.
A nutritious and filling Suhoor can keep you energetic throughout the day, lessen tiredness, and aid you in focusing during the whole day.
Simple and healthy options for Ramadan 2026 Suhoor are:
1. Oats with Milk and Fruit
Cooked in milk (or milk in which oats were soaked overnight), a bowl of oats is a good way to start your day. You can use dates, apples, and bananas to sweeten them naturally.
For more energy, you could put some chia seeds or almonds on top of that. This combination supplies your body with slowly absorbed carbohydrates and fiber, which is essential for the long fasting hours.
2. Anda Paratha—But Make It Healthy
Instead of oily parathas, use whole wheat and less ghee. One small paratha along with an omelet prepared with spinach, tomato, and onion will serve you a classic Pakistani comfort dish, but with a healthier twist.
3. Greek Yogurt with Honey and Nuts
Thick yogurt is high in protein and satiety, thus you won’t get hungry fast. One spoon of honey and some crushed walnuts or almonds can turn a bowl of yogurt into a creamy and energizing treat. It is fast to make and quite light to digest.
4. Smoothies for the Win
When you feel like not eating heavy food, just go for a smoothie. Blend bananas, strawberries, milk, and a little peanut butter or oats. Smoothies are great for hot Pakistani mornings and can be prepared in a few minutes.
5. Leftover Chicken Wraps
Is there chicken karahi or tikka left in your fridge? Take it apart and wrap it in a whole wheat roti, adding some yogurt and cucumber slices. With this, you get a dual benefit: being satiating, delicious, and a clever way to prevent food waste.
6. Boiled Eggs and Whole Wheat Toast
At times, the simple things are the most effective ones. Some boiled eggs, whole wheat bread browned in the toaster, and a glass of either water or milk make a decent meal with enough proteins and without all the hustle.
7. Dates, Nuts & Milk
Dates are one of the Sunnah foods and provide instant energy. That’s why it’s recommended to make a combination by which a handful of mixed nuts and a glass of warm milk will be accompanied by 2-3 dates. It is light and full of energy, and it is just the right option for those who prefer to avoid heavy meals.
Tips to Keep in Mind
•Drink a lot of water during Suhoor so that you won’t get dehydrated.
•Stay away from fried or salty foods as they will make you feel thirsty and tired.
•Get ready for Suhoor the night before so you will not have to worry about it in the morning.
Suhoor can be simple and not necessarily heavy. With a little planning and making the right choices, you can have both tasty and healthy meals. Regardless of whether you reside in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or any other city in Pakistan, these Suhoor ideas can be your helpers in having a smooth and healthy Ramadan 2026.
