Game: ‘what’s for breakfast?’
Eating a healthy breakfast kick-starts our metabolism, helps us concentrate better at school or at work because we’re not distracted by hunger, and generally gets our day off to a good start. Explore the plates below to get tasty ideas and tips for a healthy breakfast.
Choose a plate
Cereal with fresh fruit
- When choosing cereal, try to go for one that contains wholegrains and is lower in salt and sugar. Also, serve it with semi-skimmed, 1% or skimmed milk, or low-fat yoghurt (but remember 1% or skimmed milk isn’t suitable for children under 5).
- Adding fruit to cereals is also a great way to get kids to eat less sugary cereals. Alternatively, try mixing sugary cereals with lower-sugar ones, increasing the amount of lower-sugar cereal over time to get kids used to them.
