1. Start Your Day With Protein
Kicking off your day with protein is a fantastic way to keep you feeling satiated and focused throughout the morning. There’s a variety of plant-based protein sources, such as legumes (we love spicy beans on toast), coconut yoghurt, nuts and seeds.
2. Freeze Seasonal Fruit
Don’t let fruit go to waste – freeze it for later, especially for making compotes. Simply transfer to a zip-lock bag, label and freeze for up to 6 months. You can even wash and reuse the bag.
3. Make Your Own Granola (it’s Quicker Than You May Think)
Find your perfect balance by experimenting with different quantities of dried fruit, nuts, seeds and grains. Whilst we love jumbo oats, buckwheat is a great alternative that’s naturally gluten free. P.S. For busier weeks, keep a box of our Almond, Apple & Raisin Granola in the cupboard!
4. Balance Your Caffeine
If you love a morning coffee, pair it with, or after, a balanced breakfast to avoid the dreaded caffeine crash. Tip: Grind whole beans, then store the grounds in the freezer for maximum freshness.
5. Power Up Your Porridge
Make mornings fuss-free by prepping a big batch of oats and mixed seeds in a Kilner jar. Keep a cup measure handy – half a cup per person is a typical serving – and you’ll have a fibre and protein boost ready to go, no extra effort or thought required.
6. Add Nutrient-Powerhouses
Berries are your breakfast superstars – rich in antioxidants, polyphenols and fibre; a single cup will deliver twice as much fibre as a cup of banana or apple. Make a quick compote and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Spoon it over oats, pancakes, or yoghurt for an easy, delicious boost.
7. Keep Granola Fresh in the Freezer
Granola stays crunchy longer when stored in the freezer – just defrost small batches as needed.
8. Get Friendly With Fermented Veggies
Fermented vegetables – think sauerkraut and kimchi – are packed with vitamin C and probiotics, perfect for a gut-friendly boost in the mornings. They’re easier to make than you’d think and can last for several months if stored correctly. Here’s our how-to.
9. Toasted Nut & Seed Sprinkle
Toast a mix of nuts and seeds until golden, then store in a sterilised jar. Sprinkle over everything from porridge and yoghurt to avocado toast for extra nutrients, plant diversity and a satisfying crunch.
10. Overnights Oats For Busy Mornings
Save time (and brainpower!) by prepping overnight oats or bircher muesli the night before. For an even quicker option, grab a box of our Instant Overnight Oats – ready in minutes.
11. Breakfast Glow-Ups
Take your go-to breakfasts up a notch with a few simple additions. We love layering creamy hummus or babaganoush on avocado toast, then topping with a sprinkle of toasted seeds. Simple, delicious, and full of plant-powered goodness.
12. Nut (or Seed) Butters
When you’re short on time, nut butters are your best friend. Swirl into chia pudding and overnight oats or slather on toast with sliced fruit, and you’ve got a quick, balanced breakfast that’ll keep you going. Creamy with just the right amount of crunch and a sprinkle of salt, we may be biased, but our Crunchy Roasted Peanut Butter is heaven in a jar.
13. Power Up Your Porridge
Make mornings fuss-free by prepping a big batch of oats and mixed seeds in a Kilner jar. Keep a cup measure handy – half a cup per person is a typical serving – and you’ll have a fibre and protein boost ready to go, no extra effort or thought required.
14. Balance Sweet & Savoury
Mix things up with both sweet and savoury breakfasts throughout the week. Try fruity compote on porridge one day and avocado toast with a sprinkle of seeds the next. It’s an easy way to keep meals exciting and boost your plant diversity.
15. Eat With the Seasons (Where Possible)
Eating with the seasons means you’ll enjoy fruit and veg at their freshest and most nutrient-packed. When that’s not an option, frozen produce is a brilliant backup — they’re picked and frozen at peak ripeness, making them perfect for whizzing into smoothies or stirring into porridge.
