According to FastCompany.com, people who eat breakfast are 12.3% healthier throughout the day than those who don’t!
We’ve all been there, where we don’t make time for breakfast, we skip it and hope to eat it at work or just wait until lunchtime. But there’s no need to. Breakfast is one of the most important meals of your day and the sooner you recognise that the easier your journey to a healthier, better lifestyle will become.
We also know that breakfast whilst on a health-kick can be a difficult habit to kick when you’re used to a fried egg and bacon roll (yum!), or cereal with your children. To make things a little easier for you, we’ve compiled a list of breakfast ingredients and ideas that will make you feel fuller for longer, so you can enjoy eating lunch and not tuck into those mid-morning biscuits with your coffee (we see you!).
Our go to Breakfast Ideas & Ingredients
Chia Seeds
These seeds have only been a breakfast favourite in the last decade. In just 2tbsp, you can achieve 5g of protein and 10g of fibre, making them an efficient breakfast addition!
Peanut Butter
Filled with protein and fibre, this loveable spread is not going a miss in your early morning routine. Whether you’re adding it to a slice of wholemeal bread or into your morning ‘shake’.
Berries
High in fibre, water and vitamins, berries are underrated for breakfast, particularly in winter, but not when you’re relaxing on holiday in the sunshine. Add a fresh bunch of berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries are our fave!) to your yoghurt, overnight oats, porridge or granola. Alternatively, we also recommend buying a mixed bag of frozen berries from your local supermarket and blending them into a shake.
Avocados
The most Instagrammable vegetable of the century. These guys are rich in monounsaturated fats (the good fats) and are a delight to eat on wholemeal toast, with a poached egg on top and a sprinkle of chilli flakes. Lots of people enjoy them with Rye Bread too.
Eggs
High source of natural protein, eggs can be cooked and enjoyed so many ways, depending on how you like them. Poached, Fried, Boiled, Scrambled, in an omelette. Whichever you choose, it’ll keep your hunger at bay until lunchtime.
Apples
You know what they say about the doctor and apples. Well its true! These go-to fruit grabbers are rich in fibre and loaded in water making them an easy on the-go breakfast accompaniment to kickstart your day. We have these as snacks, but they also taste great in our muesli or dusted with cinnamon in our porridge.
