In the world of breakfast choices, sweet options often steal the spotlight. From sugary cereals to syrup-drenched pancakes, many people start their day with a dose of sweetness. However, there's a growing trend towards savoury breakfasts, focusing on protein and healthy fats.

And for good reason – making this switch can offer a plethora of benefits for your health and well-being.

Sustained Energy Levels: While a sweet breakfast may give you a quick energy boost, it often leads to a crash later in the morning. On the other hand, a savoury breakfast rich in protein and healthy fats provides a steady release of energy, keeping you feeling satisfied and focused throughout the day.

Improved Blood Sugar Control: Sweet breakfast options can cause a spike in blood sugar levels, followed by a rapid drop. This rollercoaster effect can leave you feeling hungry and irritable. Opting for a savoury breakfast helps stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing cravings and promoting overall better blood sugar control.

Enhanced Satiety: Protein and healthy fats are known for their ability to promote feelings of fullness and satisfaction. By incorporating these nutrients into your breakfast, you're less likely to experience mid-morning hunger pangs, ultimately leading to better portion control and fewer unhealthy snacking habits.

Supports Weight Management: Studies have shown that starting your day with a high-protein breakfast can aid in weight management by reducing overall calorie intake throughout the day. Additionally, the satiating effects of healthy fats can help curb cravings and prevent overeating.

Sweeten (Optional):

- If you like your porridge sweet, stir in the honey or maple syrup at this stage.

Add Berries:

- Gently fold in the mixed red berries. You can either mix them in completely or leave some on top for a burst of flavor and color.
