Marhaban Ya Ramadan. In this blessed month, various things are prepared to carry out worship with joy. Not only physical and mental readiness, you must also prepare a menu for sahur and breaking the fast.
A healthy menu determines the quality of your fast, Beauties. One food that you should not miss is fruit. The vitamin and mineral content in fruit can maintain healthy digestion and your skin during fasting.
Come on, let's see together, Beauties, what fruit must be served to accompany sahur and breaking the fast.
Dates

Iftar and sahur menus are incomplete without dates, right? This sweet fruit is always sought after when entering the month of Ramadan. It is not surprising that every shopping center always provides various types of dates during Ramadan.
Dates are very good to consume as an appetizer at dawn or breaking the fast. The fiber and natural sugar content makes dates a suitable fruit as an energy reserve during fasting.
When eaten when breaking the fast, dates can restore blood sugar levels that fall during fasting. You can consume at least 1-3 dates and water, 20 minutes before eating the main meal.
Cantaloupe

Not only dates, cantaloupe is also never absent during Ramadan. This fruit, which is similar to a pumpkin, is often used as an ingredient for making fruit ice. The sweet and crunchy flesh of the fruit makes it a refreshing snack when breaking the fast.
Just like other fruit, cantaloupe has a high antioxidant content. Vitamins A, B, C, and potassium are some of the contents of cantaloupe which are good for body health. This fruit is also good for maintaining healthy skin and digestion.
Banana

Bananas contain potassium, fiber and carbohydrates which are good for consumption at dawn or breaking the fast. The natural sugar content in bananas can provide energy reserves during fasting. So, it helps you control hunger well.
When you choose bananas as a menu for breaking the fast, this fruit can help digestion work better. Bananas are also often used as an ingredient for making takjil, one of which is kolak.
Avocado

This green fruit is often used as an ingredient for making fruit ice takjil. Apart from that, avocados are also often processed as juice. Consuming this fruit is good for your digestive and skin health when fasting.
Not only does avocado contain carbohydrates, it also has a high healthy fat content. So, choosing avocado as a menu for breaking the fast, not only helps restore energy, but is also able to maximize the absorption of vitamins and minerals.
Watermelon

This fruit, which is identical in color to red and green, has a high water content. Watermelon is also often consumed as fruit ice. Its freshness brings energy and enthusiasm back together.
Preparing watermelon as a snack before Imsak can help provide fluid intake. That way, you can prevent your body from becoming dehydrated during fasting.
Those are the five types of fruit that you can prepare as a menu for breaking the fast or sahur. What fruit do you think is your mainstay for sahur and breaking the fast?
