Complete Guide for Healthy Iftar and Suhoor Ramadan 2026
Planning Ramadan meals is about taste, energy, and hydration. Here are our top tips and ideas for your daily meals.
Best Iftar Ideas
For a healthy and appetizing Iftar:
- Start Light: Dates and water or milk are perfect to break the fast.
- Soup is Essential: Lentil soup or Moroccan Harira prepare your stomach.
- Main Course: Balance proteins and complex carbs. Try Saudi Kabsa or Chicken Tagine.
- Appetizers: Sambousek and Fattoush are staples; try baking instead of frying.
Healthy Suhoor Recipes
Suhoor is your fuel for the next day. Avoid sugar and salt that cause thirst:
- Filling Fibers: Banana Honey Oatmeal is an excellent choice (recipe above).
- Slow-Digesting Protein: Foul Medames with oil keeps you full for hours.
- Hydration: Cucumbers, yogurt, and watermelon hydrate naturally.
Tips to Avoid Thirst and Fatigue
Limit caffeine and salt at Suhoor. Drink water regularly between Iftar and Suhoor. Snack on healthy nuts and dried fruits.
