Try soaking the oats in almond milk for 10 - 15 minutes or bung it in the microwave if you want them warm. Mix it with blueberries, nuts and bananas for a tasty healthy breakfast.
Eggs
Eggs are such an easy healthy breakfast option. Both the white and yolk of an egg contains lots of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and are an excellent source of protein, sure to fill you up ready for the day. Eat them boiled with rye bread soldiers or whip them into an omelette with your favourite veg for your breakfast.
Natural Yogurt
