The perfect breakfast in bed
Breakfast in bed can be an indulgent treat that can often mean a calorie overload. However, there are lots of ways to enjoy the luxury of breakfast from under your duvet, without having to worry about eating your day’s calorie allowance before getting out of bed.
Bryonie Hollaert, Morrisons’ NuMe nutritionist, shares her top five tips on preparing a healthier, yet delicious, breakfast:
The ideal breakfast has a mix of protein, wholegrain starchy carbs and fruit, which has few calories but are packed with fibre and vitamins
Grill your bacon or sausages instead of frying them as it will cut down on the dangerous saturated fats
Ditch white bread for the bacon sarnie and go for wholegrain. This will give you an added boost of fibre
Go for a reduced fat spread for the bread. You won’t even notice the difference to butter anyway
Mix low fat yoghurt with fresh fruit and plain nuts or seeds to get a head start on your 5-a-day
