Science is constantly changing its mind on so many health topics, and it's no different when it comes to the subject of breakfast. The first meal of the day was once lauded as the most important but, in recent years, trends such as intermittent fasting have meant that breakfast has taken a back seat. Now, however, eating in the morning is firmly back in the spotlight thanks to the latest TikTok trend for 'breakfast salads'. As an antidote to sugary cereals and greasy fry-ups, breakfast salads are all about kickstarting the day with savoury ingredients that offer the most bang for their buck. Chock-full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, executed the right way, breakfast salads are nourishing, flavoursome and will help you ace your health and fitness goals.
SUPE UP YOUR SALADS
Savoury breakfasts are nothing new; rewind a few years and grain bowls (made with a base of complex carbs such as barley and spelt) were sweeping social media, whilst oats, whether it be a warming bowl of porridge or a fruity Bircher muesli, have always been at the forefront of healthy brekkies. But breakfast salads offer something new: the opportunity to fill up on nutrient goodness without going carb heavy, which can be useful if you're striving to lose weight or stay lean. 'Starting your day with a salad sets a positive tone for the day and helps you have a nutrient-rich start, which can also influence your choices later in the day. You can include many different types of vegetables and salad ingredients, helping you to get a head start on consuming your 5 A Day,' says Ro Huntriss, founder of Fertility Dietitian UK (fertilitydietitian.co.uk).
