Yakult has launched a brand new range of original recipes, designed to help brighten up breakfast across Britain! From quick and easy snacks to ‘grab and go’, to hearty meals that the whole family will enjoy, the new range contains recipes for anyone who feels stuck in a breakfast rut.
And indeed it seems that many of us may be losing our appetite for this important first meal of the day: of those questioned in Yakult’s Brighter Breakfast survey, almost half (47%) admitted that they failed to eat breakfast every morning – with just 10% citing it as their favourite meal of the day.
Perhaps this is not surprising, given that breakfast can often tend to be a somewhat repetitive, routine and rushed experience – indeed, just 9% of survey respondents described their breakfast as ‘varied’, 10% as ‘interesting’ and a mere 4% as ‘indulgent’.
But with mouth-watering treats such as rarebit crumpets, spicy tomato baked eggs and apricot pancakes on the menu, Yakult’s new range has a recipe to tickle even the most tired of taste buds!
And visitors to www.yakult.co.uk/breakfast can even tailor their breakfast to their own tastes – with the unique Breakfast Selector tool, which serves up bespoke suggestions based on selected ingredients, nutrients and occasions.
What’s more, each of the 49 exclusive recipes has been created around one of seven key nutrients, ensuring a wholesome, tasty start to the day. As nutritional therapist Melanie Flower explains, the choices we make at breakfast time can affect our eating habits throughout the rest of the day:
“Breakfast can provide essential nutrients that the body needs, especially if you include fruit or nuts with it. If you go without breakfast, then you are relying on just lunch and dinner to get your daily nutrients, which might not be enough.
“Added to which, a healthy breakfast helps to provide readily available energy for the rest of the day. Going without breakfast means you are running on your reserves, and you might end up relying on sugary snacks and caffeine to keep you going.”
Plus, as an added appetiser, anyone visiting www.yakult.co.uk/breakfast during October can enter an exclusive competition to win a host of breakfast treats. There are 50 Brighter Breakfast prizes up for grabs, from luxury kettles, toasters and smoothie makers – to a weekend break for two in one of Britain’s finest country manors – with breakfast included, of course!
