Shake Up Your Wake Up With Farmhouse Breakfast Week 23 - 29 January 2011

Published: 02 December 2010

It’s time we all started the day the right way, with a quick and easy healthy balanced breakfast.

The twelfth annual Farmhouse Breakfast Week is being rejuvenated for 2011 with a new theme “Shake Up Your Wake Up”. Organisers HGCA are challenging the one in four breakfast skippers to rethink their morning routine and start the day the right way, with breakfast. As the most important meal of the day it need only take minutes to make, but will deliver hours of benefits.

For heaps of quick and easy breakfast ideas visit www.shakeupyourwakeup.com.  Banana and Peanut muffins are ideal for a tasty breakfast on the go, or if you’re looking for a breakfast that you can eat at your desk, try a warming bowl of Cranberry Spiced Porridge or a slice of Omelette Brunch.

Of course, if you are really strapped for time, then toast with your favourite topping is always a good option. After all, 99% of us claim to love toast. For more info on the benefits of toast, see our Toast of the Nation page.
