Get Your Day Off to the Right Start..
with a Healthy Breakfast

 

There’s a reason that people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. By preparing a healthy and wholesome breakfast, you can fill your stomach after it has emptied through the night. You can also provide your body with the nutrition it needs to face the day ahead well. So, what should you be eating for breakfast to achieve this? Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling in the right direction! Get Your Day Off to the Right Start with  Healthy Breakfast.

 

  1. Whole Grain Toast

 

Let’s start with whole grain toast. Now, many of us skip breakfast because we feel that we simply don’t have the time. But there’s no excuse with toast, it takes a couple of minutes to make and put toppings on and you can eat it as you run out of the door if you really need. Where possible, choose whole grain bread for your toast. These types of bread contain all of the parts of the original grain kernel (bran, germ, and endosperm), meaning they’re packed with dietary fibre, which is great for your digestive system.

You can have your toast plain with some butter or dairy free spread over it, or, if you like, you could add toppings. Sure, chocolate spreads and other sugar filled spreads may seem tempting, but try to keep your toppings as healthy as possible. Natural, pure nut butters are great, whether you prefer peanut butter, almond butter, or an alternative. Avocado is another healthy topping you might want to try out!

 

  1. Juice

 

Juice doesn’t tend to serve as a breakfast itself. But it does complement any other breakfast you might want. Now, juice is a simple and tasty way to get one of your portions of fruit or vegetables into your diet each day. Of course, it’s worth bearing in mind that eating whole fruits for your other four portions is better, as these still contain dietary fibre. But one glass of juice with your breakfast is fine.

  1. Porridge

 

If you have a little more time for your breakfast, porridge is another great option. It tends to be healthier than store bought cereals, which can often have added sugar. You can make porridge however you like and it will help you to keep going until lunch. It regulates your appetite and is packed with manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, folate, copper, vitamin B5 and much more. Try to choose healthier toppings like fresh fruit, dried fruit, seeds, nuts, or even spices like cinnamon.

 Breakfast is Fuel 

These, of course, are just three different breakfast options that you might like to try out. They really will help to get your day off to the best start. You can be as plain or adventurous with them as you like, customising each option to make it truly your own! So, give them a try and incorporate them into your morning routine!

Everyone knows that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast gives your body the fuel it needs to get you going, both physically and mentally. Get in the habit of eating a good breakfast. Here are a delicious suggestion: Overnight Maple French Toast
