How does your perfect start into the day looks like? Sleeping in late, waking up relaxed and cuddling with your partner for a while – there is probably no better way to start the day. Sundays give us the opportunity to finally do the things that we usually do not have the time for in our everyday lives – like a nice breakfast. With a breakfast in bed, you can treat yourself with a moment to enjoy. Whether you eat alone, with your partner or the whole family, this feel-good ritual ensures a good mood for everyone. To make sure your morning meal does not lack anything, we share our best tips for a truly luxurious breakfast in bed with you.

Breakfast in bed – Good preparation is the key

Pancakes A breakfast in bed can be spontaneous, but with a bit of preparation the enjoyment factor can be even better. A balanced breakfast should consist of an energizing carbohydrate source, a protein source and a colorful mix of fruit and vegetables for a vitalizing vitamin boost. The best way to make sure that you have everything is to already think about which foods you want to enjoy on Sunday while you are shopping for the weekend.

If you are an early bird who likes to stretch your legs in the morning, you can of course go to the bakery on Sunday morning and buy some delicious treats. What about some fresh and warm bread buns? Whether it is poppy seed, sesame, spelt or wholewheat – the best thing to do is to put together a bag with all kinds of different treats, so there is something for every taste. Pretzels also serve as a special Sunday breakfast. Sweet treats like croissants or fluffy raisin buns are the cherry on the cake for anyone with a sweet tooth.

If you rather stand in the kitchen yourself to make a hearty omelet or crispy waffles, you should think about having all the ingredients at home beforehand. Check that you have the most important ingredients at hand the night before so that you can get started right away on Sunday morning and do not have to spend a long time searching in your storage cupboards.

Creating the right ambience to feel good

Breakfast in bed only really becomes good when it is cozy. That is why cozy pillows and a fluffy blanket are a must-have, to get the perfect well-being ambience in bed. Especially during the winter months, it can get quite cold outside, which is why you should have a pair of warm socks or a cozy morning gown at hand. The most important ingredient to relax is to feel good. Your pajamas should therefore be comfortable first and foremost. Materials like fleece and flannel are particularly warming and ensure a cozy feeling. In summer, lightweight fabrics like linen help you keep cool when enjoying breakfast in bed.

Musik to relax

In addition to comfortable clothing, music helps turn breakfast in bed into a relaxing time-out. If you love luxury and elegance, piano sounds will make you feel like you are having your Sunday breakfast in an exclusive restaurant. If you need a little help to start the morning, a playlist with happy songs can get you out of your morning blues and make it easier for you to get up. When you enjoy breakfast together with your partner or your kids, everyone should be able to choose a favorite song so that no one feels left out. No matter what music you decide on in the end, for the sake of your neighbors, make sure that it is not too loud. After all, other people should also be able to enjoy their Sunday breakfast.

The perfect presentation

Schön anrichten

You eat with your eyes first! Anyone who has ever dined in a gourmet restaurant knows that the presentation is at least as important as the dish itself. Because if a dish is nice to look at, we enjoy it even more. Instead of carrying all the plates, cups, and bowls to the bed individually, using a breakfast tray is a good idea. This way, you can serve breakfast in bed elegantly and avoid finding too many crumbs between your sheets afterwards. Pretty napkins round off the overall picture and guarantee that no jam stains get on your blanket. If children are eating in bed with you, a separate tray for each of the little ones is a good option to avoid having to clean up later.

Drinks for a fresh vitamin boost

Fresh fruits are a delicious energy booster that should be part of any breakfast in bed. But especially in winter, not everyone is in the mood for a fruit salad or a smoothie bowl. Often, we rather crave a breakfast that gives comfort and warmth, like hot pancakes with quince compote or a hearty omelet with spinach and cheese. However, we do not have to miss out on delicious fruits for our Sunday breakfast. Fruit-based drinks are a great way to get a fresh vitamin boost: How about a popular classic like fresh-squeezed orange juice for example? But also mixed variants such as cherry-banana juice or mango-passion fruit treat you with an exotic taste explosion. Even the boring glass of tap water can be upgraded with fresh fruit. A few apple slices or colorful berries not only add flavor but are also a visual eye-catcher.

A nice Breakfast in bed

Conclusion: The perfect breakfast in bed

On Sundays, a long breakfast in bed with your loved ones creates a wonderfully relaxed start into the day. In order to make it perfect, create a cozy ambience and make sure you have all the ingredients you need in the house. Sweet or savory – you do not have to choose. Spoil yourself with all kinds of delicacies and serve them beautifully on plates. You have earned it! Spend a relaxing morning in bed and enjoy your favorite food.
