You’ve hit the snooze button one two many times and before you know it you have 15 minutes to shower, dress, eat and hit the city traffic. What’s the first thing you skip? Breakfast!
A good breakfast needn’t be difficult or time-consuming. A nutritious breakfast is essential to help provide you with all the energy you need for a long day ahead of scheduled meetings and never-ending deadlines. In this post we give you 5 quick and nutritious breakfast tips for a fuss-free morning.
Monday: High fibre bread with peanut butter
Pop a slice of high fibre bread like whole-grain bread, seed loaf or rye into the toaster. Spread over about 1t low-fat peanut butter, and top with 1 small sliced banana.
If you’re not a peanut butter fan, mix ¼ cup low-fat/non-fat cottage cheese with finely diced dried fruit (apricots, pears and peaches work well). Spread over a slice of bread.
Tuesday: High fibre cereal with milk or yoghurt
Super easy! Try a range of high fibre cereals like All-bran Flakes or Special K. Be creative and sprinkle with mixed nuts, finely diced dry fruit, or small fresh fruits like berries.
Wednesday: Instant oats
Just add water. How hard can that be? Add 2t dried cranberries, half a grated apple, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for flavour.
Thursday: Fruit Smoothie
If the city traffic means you sit in your car for long periods of time, why not make your breakfast to go? The night before blend 1 cup low-fat yoghurt (preferred flavour) with 1 cup season fruit (think mango, kiwi, or strawberries) with 1 small banana (helps with the texture of the smoothie). Add low-fat/skim milk to achieve a desired consistency, and refrigerate. Pour into a suitable bottle (a good idea is to use a travel mug with a removable yet sealable lid). Enjoy while listening to Gareth Cliff on 5fm mornings.Friday: Yoghurt Trifle
Prepare a colourful yoghurt trifle the night prior. In a glass bowl, alternate layers of ½ cup muesli, 1 cup low-fat yoghurt, and 1 cup chopped fresh seasonal fruit. Refrigerate for the next morning.
