Looking for healthy breakfast in bed alternatives? Breakfast is a staple often missed with the pace of week days, or, if not missed, then falling back on the ‘same old same old’ – good old vegemite on toast or boxed cereal.
However, breakfast is a great way to start the day, kick start the metabolism, and get some good protein, fruits and grains into our bodies first thing. Weekend breakfasts are also a celebration of having just a bit more time to spend and share with loved ones, or slow down and sit to eat (instead of rushing out the door)!
Here are a few of our top breakfast in bed ideas to try this weekend.
1. Wholemeal Pancakes with Winter Fruits
With winter approaching there’s really nothing better than making the most of seasonal fruits. Poached fruits with cinnamon, or all spice, is an easy and delicious way to sweeten a breakfast meal of oats or cereals, and with elevate the simple pancake to a whole other breakfast level.
As well as being delicious, pancakes, when made with wholemeal flour, are also a healthier alternative to plain white flour. Higher in fibre than plain white flour, wholemeal flour is also rich in vitamins B-1, B-3, B-5, riboflavin and folate.
