Oats are a breakfast superstar, loaded with fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Prepare a hearty bowl of porridge by cooking rolled oats with your milk of choice (dairy or plant-based). Top it off with a handful of chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for healthy fats, a spoonful of nut butter for added creaminess and protein, and a handful of fresh berries for an antioxidant boost. For an extra twist, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract for flavour. Here are some very interesting porridge ideas from Olive Magazine if you’re tired of your usual go-to porridge.
Avocado toast has become a breakfast classic for a reason – it's simple, nutritious, and utterly delicious. Spread ripe avocado onto whole-grain toast for healthy fats and creaminess.

This savoury combination provides a balanced mix of healthy fats, protein, and carbohydrates to keep you energized. Here’s a recipe from FeedFeed which combines crumbled feta for a salty finish, pepitas or pumpkin seeds for crunch and a drizzle of honey for some smooth sweetness, yum!
