Easy Food Switches for Early Starts

Our Accredited Practicing Dietitian Katie Dowling shares some quick easy breakfast ideas for you hard working early risers;

Getting up before the sun can often make you feel like there is inadequate time to prepare a healthy breakfast. I constantly see my tradie clients skipping breakfast or opting for the unhealthy ‘on the run’ option on the way to work. Set aside 5-10 minutes each morning to do your body a favour and prepare one of these quick easy breakfasts for improved energy levels and health benefits:

• Baked beans on wholegrain toast (Option: add a quick handful of baby spinach for additional nutrition)

• Overnight oats (Soak rolled oats, low fat flavoured yoghurt and low fat milk overnight in the fridge) In the morning add chopped fruit or a handful of raw nuts/seeds

• Weet- bix with low fat milk and fruit

• Toasted wholegrain English muffin with vegemite and low fat cheese or nut butter

• Quick breakfast smoothie: Throw 1 x banana, 1 cup low fat milk , 2 dates and 1/3 cup oats to a blender and mix
