Breakfast – fast options for busy people and fussy kids

You want to get maximum energy and sustained attention from your breakfast so make sure you include a high quality protein along with low-glycaemic carbohydrates in your breakfast meal.

A protein shake is a great option for kids and adults. You can either blend yourself or buy one of the ready to drink products e.g. Protein Revival. You could whip up some scrambled eggs with whole-grain toast inside 5 minutes, or throw a vegetable omelette together. If you want cereal, choose a whole grain, oat-based muesli such as Carmans Original or Freedom Foods Wheat Free Muesli (or plain porridge oats if you prefer), and add some protein powder to the milk mix.

Tasmanian Lite yogurt makes a quick and nutritious brekky or snack for adults or kids, and you can add fresh fruit and a spoonful of protein powder for long-term energy. You can make your own high-protein muesli mix with rolled oats, flaked almonds, sunflower seeds, pepitas, sesame seeds, coconut and hazelnuts. If you’re really running short of time, grab a protein bar e.g. Protein FX on your way out. A good breakfast will provide your brain and body with all the key nutrients it needs for sustained energy and concentration for the next few hours.
