Ok so I am starting with a super healthy one but you can’t get much better than a green smoothie for breakfast. Quick to make and transportable, they are ideal if you’re in a rush and help you get those all important leafy green vegetables into your diet.
There are tons of green smoothie recipes about, a simple one I tend to go for is two handfuls of spinach, a banana, a handful of blueberries and tablespoon of ground flaxseed, topped up with filtered water. Just whiz up the ingredients in a blender, pour into a suitable container and you’re good to go. I have a nutribullet where the cup is actually part of the blender so after blending, you just detach it and pop on the lid which is great as it minimises the washing up!
There are so many combinations of leafy greens, fruits and additional ingredients like nuts, seeds, superfood powders, the green smoothie possibilities are endless!

Yoghurt with toppings
Some organic, Greek style, natural yoghurt makes a lovely breakfast, served with all manner of yummy toppings (I love the Yeo Valley or Rachel’s brands). Fresh fruit, chopped nuts, seeds, honey, maple syrup, cacao powder/nibs, oats, cinnamon, whatever you like (as long as it’s healthy of course!).
This is so quick and easy to prepare and can be done the night before then easily transported.
Avoid anything flavoured or labelled low fat as these are likely to contain some sort of sugar or other nasty ingredients.
