What makes a good breakfast?

Many of us are in such a hurry in the morning that we tend to skip breakfast. Research shows that people living in Western society lack the essential vitamins and minerals to make it through the day (DellaPenna, 1999).

So what makes a great breakfast?

Unfortunately breakfast cereals are not the way to go. They are low in essential vitamins and minerals, high in salt and high in sugar (Harisson and Marske 2005) .

An ideal breakfast for busy people is a bowl of fresh fruit salad topped with raw nuts and seeds or try this recipe for a power smoothie that is quick and easy jam packed with nutrients to give you energy to start the day.

Power Smoothie
2 cups English Spinach/ Kale
6 -8 ripe bananas frozen or fresh
2 celery stick (no leaves)
1 cup chilled water
Method:
Add water and spinach in a blender and blend then slowly add celery and bananas and blend until well combined and enjoy throughout the day. (for a quick start to the day make half the quantity)
