The ever-fabulous looking and self-confessed foodie Kareena Kapoor Khan took to Instagram recently, where she highlighted the importance of incorporating butter into our breakfast. She shared a glimpse of her morning meal, a half-eaten croissant accompanied by a generous serving of butter. We speak to nutritionist Saloni Kothari about how to keep the butter quotient intact for breakfast and enjoy it with the right balance.&nbsp;
Yummy goodness
Butter is rich in vitamins A, D, K and E, Kothari explains, &ldquo;Consuming a teaspoon of butter early in the morning on an empty stomach or with black coffee can serve as an antioxidant, helping with constipation, boosting stamina, and jumpstarting your metabolism.&rdquo; Breakfast of champions can be made better when butter is added in moderation, creating a balance.

&ldquo;Adding nut butter to your smoothies gives them a creamy texture and provides additional health benefits,&rdquo; she suggests. Butter can also elevate the taste of multigrain toast or millet rotis. &ldquo;A gentle slather of butter on a millet roti or wrap ensures the carb and fat ratio is balanced, and it contains lauric acid which aids digestion,&rdquo; she explains. For those looking for a hearty breakfast, she recommends dishes like sandwiches filled with vegetables, flax seeds sprinkled over nut butter toast or in smoothie, or a saut&eacute;ed mushroom and spinach wrap, all of which ensure a balanced intake of necessary food groups. Given the preservatives found in processed butter, Kothari advises making your own at home. &ldquo;You can make it yourself or source it from home chefs,&rdquo; she adds.&nbsp;
Balancing act
Despite butter&rsquo;s many benefits, the nutritionist warns against overconsumption. &ldquo;Since butter is ultimately a fat, eating it in large amounts can become problematic. A teaspoon of butter is typically recommended, but this can&rsquo;t be generalised. It depends on individual dietary needs and health goals,&rdquo; she explains. In the growing debate over which type of butter is best for Betty to buy, Kothari addresses the rise of vegan butter made from non-dairy substitutes such as nuts, seeds, and certain oils. &ldquo;Vegan butter will have a different taste. In my opinion, it can be used if the diet suits you and you&rsquo;re inclined to try it,&rdquo; she says. Ultimately, Kothari stresses the importance of mindful eating and maintaining a holistic lifestyle.&nbsp;

Corn salad bowl
For a well-rounded snack, Riya Gala, chef and founder of Brown Kitchen (@the.brown.kitchen), suggests assembling an easy-to-make corn salad bowl. &ldquo;This salad has a lot of benefits. Sweet corn is full of fibre and is a source for vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It helps with digestion and promotes eye health. Sweet corn, along with butter can be a healthy and a filling addition to your diet, provided you make it right,&rdquo;&nbsp; she explains.

Ingredients &gt;&gt; 2 tbsp butter (preferably vegan)&nbsp; &gt;&gt; 1/2 cup corn &gt;&gt; 1/3 cup bell peppers &gt;&gt; 1/3 cup zucchini&nbsp; &gt;&gt; 1/4 cup broccoli&nbsp; &gt;&gt; 1 tsp red chilli powder &gt;&gt; 1 tsp black pepper powder &gt;&gt; 1 tsp salt &gt;&gt; Crushed peanuts and salad dressing, for garnish&nbsp;
Method Take a pan. Add butter, red chilli powder and black pepper powder. Add sweet corn and saut&eacute; it for a while. Take it off the heat after sprinkling some salt. Next, take a bowl. Add corn, bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli together. Mix all the veggies, garnish it with choices of salad dressing and crush peanuts. You can also add lemon juice if desired.
