Breakfast - is it the most important meal of the day?

We believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day and this extract from Nutrition Australia explains exactly why:

• Breakfast breaks your overnight fast.
• Breakfast refuels your glycogen (energy) stores.
• Breakfast kick starts the metabolism.
• Breakfast provides us with the energy to keep us going throughout the day.

• Improves your energy levels.
• Improves metabolism.
• Provides many beneficial nutrients, and boosts your fibre and calcium intake (compared to no breakfast).
• Reduces you chance of over-consuming high kilojoule foods later in the day.
• Stabilises your blood sugar levels.
• Improves memory and concentration.

We have a range of muesli and porridge to choose from here and other options  that you can make easily include:

• Wholegrain toast with a thin scrape of peanut butter, or avocado and spinach or reduced fat ricotta.
• Porridge with fresh fruit.
• Fresh fruit and yoghurt.
• Wholegrain cereals with reduced fat milk.
• Wholemeal fruit toast with thin scrap of cream cheese.
• Fruit or vegetable smoothies.
• Boiled eggs with wholegrain toast.
• Untoasted muesli.
