I am a believer of the pearl of wisdom/health that breakfast is the most important meal. Sadly, I don't have enough time to prepare for it. Sure, I should have time but I dont wake up early enough to give me time to prepare for it. But here are some easy to prepare food. You can even go through the Black Friday while waiting for the muffin to cook.


Breakfast Cereal
¾ cup Kellogg’s All-Bran Original mixed with ½ cup blueberries, 2 tbs slivered almonds and 1 tbs ground linseed
1 cup skim milk

Never tried linseed (aka flaxseeds)? It’s time you did. In addition to fibre, they contain omega-3 fatty acids, and a 2008 Appetite study found that a diet rich in these healthy fats helps prolong satiety in people who are trying to lose weight.

Berry-Yoghurt Muffins

Packed full of digestive-boosting yoghurt and grains, these muffins from nutritionist Joanna McMillan make a balanced, nutritious snack.

Ingredients
2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour
1/2 cup LoGiCane low-GI sugar or honey
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 packet mixed frozen berries
2 eggs
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup natural yoghurt
Splash of skim milk
Method
1. Combine first four ingredients in a bowl, thoroughly mixing the fruit into the flour to ensure they separate.

2. In another bowl, combine eggs, olive oil, yoghurt and milk.

3. Add wet ingredients to dry mixture; stir gently until just combined. If the mixture looks too dry (this will depend on the consistency of the yoghurt you use), add a splash of milk. Do not overmix.

4. Spoon into a 12-cup non-stick muffin tray and bake at 180°C until brown on top and cooked through (about 25 minutes).
