OMBINE CARBOHYDRATES WITH PROTEIN
Combining a protein with a carbohydrate
based food such as bread, oats or cereal provides
invaluable nutrients for the day ahead. Protein
sources include milk, eggs, yogurt, nuts and lean
meat such as bacon and fish such as kippers or
salmon.

TART YOUR ‘5-A-DAY’
Breakfast is the ideal time to get started with
your recommended ‘5-a-day’ of fruit and vege-
tables. A glass of fruit juice or a banana, berries
or chopped apple with your cereal or porridge is
a good way to include some fruit. For a healthy
dose of vegetables, try baked beans, tinned or
fresh tomatoes or mushrooms on your toast.
