Helpful tip: Stock the pantry with healthy breakfast basics
Select healthy breakfast cereals to keep in the pantry. You’re less likely to skip breakfast if something quick and easy is always close at hand. Good choices include traditional rolled oats, bran cereals, wheat biscuits and untoasted muesli. They’ll stay fresher for longer if you transfer them into airtight containers.
As well as beating mid-morning hunger and boosting your levels of physical and mental energy, breakfast can also increase your nutrient intake. Wholegrain cereals, combined with fresh fruits and topped with 99% fat-free yoghurt, are packed with minerals like calcium and folate, as well as protein, carbohydrates and other vital nutrients.
