Breakfast HEROES
It’s the most important meal of your day – make it count
1. Mornflake Oatbran £1.71, MORRISONS
‘Porridge fan? Swap your regular oats for oatbran; it’s easier on the digestive system than regular oats and it has 50% more fibre than most porridge brands.’ RL
3. Tesco Strawberry And Spinach Smoothie Mix £2, TESCO
‘This a good quick-fix – the monounsaturated fats from the avocado and antioxidant cyanidins from the blueberries enhance cognitive function.’ MTM
5. Vogel Wholemeal And Oat Bread £1.50, SAINSBURY’S
‘Any sugars this does contain are naturally occurring, thanks to the oats, which are also a good source of protein. And there’s no additives in there.’ RH
7. Taylor’s Of Harrogate Good Morning Fairtrade and Organic Coffee £3.89, SAINSBURY’S
‘This smooth, medium roast is made from a combination of beans from three Fairtrade cooperatives in Peru and Nicaragua. Hands down, my favourite coffee.’ MTM
9. Biona Millet Bread £2.69, WAITROSE
‘A great gluten-free choice – B vitamin-rich millet makes it a slow releasing energy source. The buckwheat flour it contains is high in fibre, magnesium and copper.’ RL
2. Sainsbury’s Free Range Woodland Eggs £1, SAINSBURY’S
‘They’re a high-protein breakfast hero and since the nutritional content of most eggs is similar, I chose based on animal welfare.’ RH
4. Alpro Almond Unsweetened £1.80, TESCO
‘Opinions abound on the best non-dairy option, but this brand is fortified with calcium and vitamins B and E. If you avoid dairy, your substitute must contain these nutrients.’ RH
6. Pukka Clean Matcha Green £2.80, SAINSBURY’S
‘Matcha green tea has more than three times the antioxidant catechins of regular green tea. Pukka’s teas are whole leaf to maintain antioxidant potency and flavour, too.’ EK
8. Fage Total £2.40, TESCO
‘Greek yoghurt generally has more protein and fewer sugars than other yoghurts (as well as the good bacteria to help you maintain gut flora balance) and Total scores highest on both of those counts, which will help keep you full.’ RL
10. Daylesford Organic Toasted Nut Muesli £4.99, OCADO
‘This cereal packs an impressive amount of heart healthy monounsaturated fats from the mixed nuts. It is also high in fibre and low in sugar.’ RH
