Game: ‘what’s for breakfast?’

Eating a healthy breakfast kick-starts our metabolism, helps us concentrate better at school or at work because we’re not distracted by hunger, and generally gets our day off to a good start. Explore the plates below to get tasty ideas and tips for a healthy breakfast.

Choose a plate

Toast with toppings

  1. For a tasty and healthy start to the day, it’s good to base breakfast on starchy foods such as bread or breakfast cereals.
  2. Try making toast with wholemeal or granary bread, and use just a small amount of low-fat spread (e.g. margarine) or jam. Choose a spread that is high in polyunsaturates or monounsaturates (both types of unsaturated fat), instead of one that’s high in saturated fat, such as butter.
  3. If there’s more time, why not have a poached egg and mushrooms on toast? Try grilling the mushrooms as it’s healthier than frying.
  4. For a change from ordinary toast, try some toasted fruit bread.
