Healthy Breakfasts
Porridge
Porridge is probably the best choice you could make for breakfast, as its complex carbohydrates release slowly, keeping you feeling full until lunch. Try making it with soya milk if
you're going through the menopause (it helps to reduce symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats) - you can hardly taste the difference once the porridge is made. Like cereal, you can top it with virtually anything you fancy - our favourites are some fresh berries, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkling of sunflower seeds.
Toast
Quick, delicious and the perfect partner to a cup of tea, toast
is the ultimate comfort food. But it can be a healthy choice too - you just need to make some slight changes. Switch your white loaf to a wholemeal one. Wholemeal contains wholegrains, which will keep you fuller for longer, and the bread is less processed and therefore has fewer additives. Instead of butter, try a lower-fat spread. If you really can't live without butter, though, make sure it's at room temperature
so you can spread it easily without piling on big chunks. Try mashing a ripe banana and spreading it on to your wholemeal toast. It's surprisingly delicious and satisfying, and it makes a filling breakfast that will keep you going all morning.
