What’s for Breakfast?

It\’s often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Another classic is that one should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. 

Indeed, breakfast should be a key element of any morning routine. Do it right, and breakfast will sharpen your superpower of consistency for the rest of the day by controlling energy levels and cravings. 

The ideal breakfast is:

  • Your biggest meal of the day (in terms of calorie content)
  • Packed with a broad range of nutrients from many different ingredients
  • Low in sugar and full of slow-release energy from protein, healthy fats and whole grains
  • A real pleasure to eat despite not containing any added sugar
  • Highly convenient with a very low preparation time
