Breakfast FAQs

Why is breakfast so important?

Breakfast can help you meet important nutrient needs – including fibre, calcium and iron – while supporting steady energy throughout the day and balanced blood sugar levels.6 Regularly eating a nourishing breakfast is also linked to better weight management and a lower risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.6 Skipping breakfast may make you feel hungrier in the day and more likely to reach for snacks.6
 

How do you make overnight oats?

Overnight oats are a simple, time-saving breakfast staple you can prepare the night before, so it’s ready to grab and go in the morning. With no cooking required and plenty of flavour options, they make nourishing yourself feel easy – even on busy days. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out our banana & chia seed overnight oats recipe. Want some other make-ahead options? Our protein mango chia pudding and high-protein masala chai porridge are fruity favourites.
 

What breakfast foods keep you full longer?

Protein-rich foods – such as nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, eggs and tofu – provide valuable nutrients including protein, iron and certain vitamins, while helping you feel fuller for longer.6 Adding a mixture of plant-based or lean animal-protein to the start of your day can help you feel more satisfied and keep you going until lunch.6
