New evidence suggests that if you are someone who eats breakfast, you want to limit the sugar (including that from fruit) and up the fat and protein if you’re aiming to stay full and away from snacks until lunchtime. This breakfast bowl is ideal, providing some vitamins and minerals from the fruit alongside plenty of healthy fats and proteins. You can add in or swap out ingredients as you see fit, and enjoy feeling satisfied until lunchtime rolls around.
