Breakfast in bed: tips to hit the surprise

arrange everything the night before

As simple as it is, breakfast in bed needs to be planned at least a day ahead.

Start by making a list of what you want to serve. Do this by analyzing the tastes of the person receiving the coffee.

The weather of the day also makes a difference. If it’s hot, offer lighter foods like juices and fruits. In cold weather, a very hot chocolate, for example, may be the best option.

Also, set aside all the dishes and utensils needed to prepare coffee, including cups, glasses, bowls, cutlery, napkins and, of course, the tray.

Remember to remove food and beverages from the packaging to ensure a better look on the coffee tray.

It’s also worth betting on some treats for breakfast in bed, such as a delicate vase with flowers, a special photo and a sweet message to start the day well.

At this point, you must also decide whether to buy everything ready or to prepare the recipes at home.

Check the person’s schedule

What will the person’s day be like on the morning of the surprise? Will she work, study or have any appointments scheduled?

It is always good to be aware of the person’s schedule so that unforeseen events do not occur.

It may be that she needs to leave very early or in a hurry and cannot even enjoy the surprise breakfast.

In these cases, consider rescheduling coffee, preferably for a weekend when she has no commitments.

Serve the fruits washed, peeled and cut to facilitate the serving time. Fruits that oxidize easily, such as apples and pears, should be served with a few drops of lemon.

A good option is also to make a fruit salad with three or four varieties.

Drinks

yoghurts

Fruit flavored yoghurts such as strawberry, coconut and banana can be served with cereal or plain to drink. Unflavored yogurts (whole and skim) are also good options.

juices

Any type of natural fruit juice goes well with breakfast in bed. Avoid industrialized ones.

To facilitate preparation, leave the juice ready in the refrigerator the night before. But, in this case, opt for non-acidic and non-oxidizing fruits.

A good choice are mango, strawberry, acerola, guava and passion fruit juices.
