We’re always told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Speaking from my own experience, if I don’t have a filling breakfast, I find myself reaching for the cookies and cake by mid-morning! I also never liked eating breakfast as a kid and teenager, so training myself to eat a good meal at the start of the day has definitely been a journey! Here are my four favourites breakfasts that are guaranteed to keep you full until lunchtime:

1. Porridge with chia seeds – Chia seeds are chock full of fibre and protein, and I love adding them to my porridge with a few sultanas and grated apple for a filling meal. Oats also help with lowering cholesterol and blood sugar.

2. Eggs – Eggs are a great source of protein, and a healthy way to stay full until lunchtime. I poach them and have them with wholemeal sourdough, which is also good for your gut health.

3. Avocado on toast – Avocados are both delicious and rich in monounsaturated fats, making them a perfect breakfast food. Add a splash of olive oil, some salt and pepper, tomato slices and voila!

4. Berries, nuts and Greek yogurt – Berries are high in fibre, which can help suppress appetite. Mixing them with nuts and Greek yogurt gives you added protein.
