Breakfast information

A nutritious breakfast doesn’t have to take a long time to prepare or eat. Breakfast is the meal that supplies our brain and body with much needed nutrients to function well for the day. A healthy breakfast has fruit/vegetables, a protein source and some slow release carbohydrate.

 Here are some options:

• Smoothie with milk, yoghurt, fruit, a handful of oats or a wheat biscuit.
• Cottage cheese and sliced tomato on grainy bread toast.
• Baked beans on a wholemeal English muffin.
• Toasted bagel with avocado, sliced tomato and pumpkin seeds.
• Raisin toast with sliced banana and ricotta, sprinkled with cinnamon.
• Pancakes served with yoghurt and chopped fruit.
• Boiled egg with grainy bread toast soldiers.
• Zucchini, cheese and corn fritters.
• Wholegrain cereal, porridge or untoasted muesli.
