We get it. Mornings can be stressful, as we try to get the whole family dressed, organised and out the door on time. In all the hubbub, it’s easy to forget last night’s homework, your laptop charger and sometimes even breakfast.
But there’s so many reasons why breakfast should be an absolute priority in the mornings, not an afterthought.
What you eat in the morning (or don’t eat) can affect your food choices, energy levels and nutrition intake for the rest of the day. By ‘breaking our fast’ with breakfast, we regulate our bodies’ energy levels and fuel it to start off the day. It stops us from bingeing on half a packet of biscuits at our 11.30 tea break and regretting not starting off on a better nutritious meal to begin with.
By missing out on breakfast, we miss a vital opportunity to provide our body with the vitamins, nutrients and fibre it needs to get us where we need to go. According to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, it is important to never skip meals with breakfast being especially important. It is recommended to include a high-fibre cereal for breakfast as this will set the body up with the carbohydrates it needs and provide us with energy and fuel for the day ahead.
The FSAI also recommends choosing whole grain wherever possible as these foods contain the three parts of the cereal grain - the starchy core, the germ and the bran. A great way to boost your intake is to choose a whole grain breakfast cereal in the morning.
So it’s simple really. Taking on the day starts with a breakfast that will fuel and sustain you throughout all your work and play. A high fibre cereal like the new SHREDDIES® The Simple One is a tasty choice if you're looking to kickstart your family’s day.
Simple, quick and easy (and doesn’t get soggy in milk!) SHREDDIES® The Simple One ticks all the boxes for the fussy eater, the early riser and the rushing to school-er! The majority of adults in Ireland are not getting their recommended amount of fibre per day, so choosing breakfast cereals containing whole grain is an easy way to increase fibre intake for the whole family. SHREDDIES® The Simple One is a no-nonsense, simple, four-ingredient recipe that prioritises taste and a great whole grain start to the day, so you and your family are Shreddie for Anything!
In a world where everything is changing, your breakfast should be a constant, setting you up for a day of productivity and ready to rise to any challenge you may meet. Prioritising breakfast is prioritising you and your family, which is something that will always be important in our book.
