Breaking the fast = breakfast

Breakfast means “breaking the fast” – the first meal you eat after the overnight fast of 8 to 12 hours since your last meal. By morning, your body needs energy.

On the bus or train:

• save time – make your breakfast the night before so you can take it on the run
• toast with peanut butter
• piece of fruit
• tub of yoghurt
• Up and Go® or popper of milk
• muesli bar with nuts and fruit.

• feel better in the mornings
• learn more and can think more clearly
• are more alert
• are less moody and irritable
• get a boost of nourishing calcium, iron, B vitamins and fibre
• feel less hungry by morning tea or lunchtime
• control their weight more easily.
