From matcha smoothies to avocado pancakes, here are five healthy ways to start your day
by Gracie Carroll
Start your day with a smoothie that’s full of antioxidants, protein, vitamins and iron to give you the energy that you need, but without the high calories.
by Avocados from Mexico
Low in cholesterol, this hot and savoury bowl of porridge is perfect for a cold, rainy day. It makes a delicious alternative to the classic porridge.
by Erin Ireland
Made creamy with avocados, this milkshake is healthier than it looks, especially if you’re looking to incorporate more cholesterol-free, healthy fats into your diet. It’s a smoothie recipe but easily doubles as a milkshake from the creaminess of the avocado. Sweeten with your favourite sweetener and top off with some lemon zest for colour.
Not only are these pancakes irresistibly light and fluffy, they’re also highly nutritious. Fresh avocados provide rich vitamins, fiber, minerals, potassium and good fats. Banana and Greek yogurt also top off as an excellent source of protein to keep you feeling energized throughout the day.
This quick and easy breakfast is a favourite for many because it’s delicious and does a great job of satiating hunger with the healthy fat and fibre found in avocados. This beautiful green fruit also helps lower cholesterol.
