A breakfast that needs no cooking, just a handful of peanuts, some fruit and a blender, is what Sadhguru recommends for people who want to start their day with a quick meal. The spiritual leader has shared a simple recipe using soaked peanuts, suggesting that they can be eaten on their own or blended with fruit to make a thick porridge or a milkshake-like drink. In a video posted on Facebook, Sadhguru explained how to prepare the breakfast and said it could be ready in just three minutes. His method involves soaking peanuts for at least six hours before eating them the next morning. For those who prefer a drink over whole peanuts, he suggested adding a banana or another fruit, along with water.
How to make Sadhguru’s soaked peanut breakfast
Sadhguru recommended keeping the preparation simple. The first step is to take a handful of peanuts and soak them in water for at least six hours. They can then be eaten in the morning, or blended with fruit for a quick breakfast. In the video, he said, “One of the best breakfasts in the morning is soaked peanuts. It is full of vitality. Take a handful of peanuts and soak it for at least 6 hours. Then you can eat it in the morning.” He also suggested blending the soaked peanuts with fruit for people who want something that takes little time to prepare.“If you want a quick breakfast, then put it in a blender with some fruit. Banana goes very well with it. But if you don’t want bananas, you can add some other fruit. Then add a little water and mix it well,” he said. The amount of water depends on the consistency you prefer. Those who want a thicker breakfast can use less water, while those who prefer a drink can add more. “If you want a thick porridge, then add very little water. But if you want something like a milkshake, then add a little more water,” Sadhguru explained.

Sadhguru also spoke about how long the breakfast might last as part of a morning routine. According to him, a large glass of the peanut shake can keep a person feeling fresh for four to five hours. “A large glass of this peanut shake will keep you fresh for 4 to 5 hours,” he said in the video. He described the recipe as an option for people who have little time between waking up and getting ready for work. Since the peanuts need to be soaked in advance, the three-minute preparation time refers to blending the ingredients in the morning rather than the entire process from start to finish. “You can prepare this breakfast in 3 minutes and eat it in 2 minutes. You will be ready for work in 5 minutes,” he said.The recipe requires just a handful of soaked peanuts, fruit and water. Banana is his suggested choice, but he said other fruits can also be used.
What did Sadhguru say about soaked peanuts and asthma?
In the same video, Sadhguru also made a claim about soaked peanuts and asthma. “For asthma patients, it is very good to chew and eat this peanut,” he said. However, this statement should be understood as his personal recommendation, not established medical advice. People with asthma should continue to follow their prescribed treatment and consult a qualified healthcare professional before relying on dietary changes for symptom management. Peanuts are also a common food allergen, so this recipe is not suitable for anyone with a peanut allergy.
