When you’re after something lighter in the morning, fruit salad fits the breakfast brief well! With different coloured fruits indicative of different nutrients, it’s a great way to get in a plethora of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants too.
Serve your fruit salad with a bit of yoghurt to get in protein/fat - these nutrients are slower to be digested, and so help to keep us feeling full for longer. Also delicious served as a nutritious snack!
