National Breakfast Week
May 23, 2018
It’s NATIONAL BREAKFAST WEEK! Yes, that means expect even more perfectly positioned pictures of avocado toast and smoothies than usual! The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness of the importance of a good breakfast to kickstart your day. Despite it being considered the most important meal of the day, around 2/3rds
of Brit’s admit they skip breakfast! So to celebrate the campaign, we’ve compiled a delicious list of some of the best coconut-based brekkies that will get you springing out of bed and dancing into work!
1. Porridge
Combat these cold, wintery mornings with a warm, toasty bowl of energy packed porridge! Not only will these powerful little oats carry you through to lunch, they’re also a fantastic source of fibre, potassium and vitamins. For a sweet caramel twist add a sprinkle of coconut sugar or a drizzle of coconut syrup, or why not add a splash of colour to your bowl with your favourite fruits!

The flavouring possibilities are endless; from savoury to sweet, and fruity to spiced, so get creative and feel empowered! It’s time to take charge of your granola destiny!
