About Italian dolce breakfast

An Italian dolce breakfast, rooted in Italian culinary tradition, centers around sweet, modest indulgence to start the day. Typically, it includes a freshly baked pastry such as a cornetto (similar to a croissant, often filled with jam, cream, or Nutella), biscuits, or a slice of ciambella cake. This is paired with a small, strong espresso or a frothy cappuccino. While this morning ritual embodies simplicity and delight, it leans more towards a treat than a balanced meal. The high sugar content from the pastries and added sweeteners in coffee contribute to its indulgent nature but may lack the protein and fiber needed for lasting energy. However, its portion-conscious approach and focus on savoring flavors reflect a mindful eating philosophy. For a healthier twist, pairing a smaller pastry with fresh fruit or opting for fillings like whole fruit preserves can strike a better balance.
