Breakfast is hands down the best meal of the day (if you don’t agree then we can’t be friends). I shake my head in disbelief when I think back to when I refused to eat a morning meal, now I wouldn’t be able to leave the house without it and although I mostly favour porridge for it’s slow release energy, the latest releases from Jordans have me converted.

My love of Country Crisp breakfast cereal was instant, some years ago when I was given a box of the strawberry variety. It became dangerous to have around as it’s just so more-ish and the second I set eyes on the new Super Berry variety I knew the box was doomed. Crispy, crunchy golden clusters of oats mixed up with blackcurrants, cranberries and blueberries with no added salt, a high fibre content and no GM ingredients the creamy and sweet taste of the oats is contrasted perfectly with the tartness of the berries. Forget milk, I think this is best eaten by the handful from the box (although if youi do want to eat it in a more traditional way, hot milk makes the perfect Autumn morning treat). Oh granola, so addictive!

For those who don’t have time for a sit down breakfast or like me, have a snacking addiction then the Absolute Nut luxury bars are for you. Jam packed with almonds, hazelnuts and pecan pieces these are irresistable and pack a powerful punch. Substatinal enough for a morning meal and easily portable I’ll be keeping one of these in my work bag for days when I’m running late or get mid-morning/afternoon/any time munchies. Again with no added salt, lots of fibre and nothing artifical you could do far worse in a cereal bar!

You’ll find both products stocked in Tesco and Waitrose and whilst they may seem more expensive than other products on the market, they are SO good and so luxurious (and a heck of a lot cheaper than a hastily grabbed latte and muffin en route…better for you, too!)

Are you a breakfast fan? What’s your favourite way to start the day?
