In a world where convenience often trumps the nutritional benefits of food, finding breakfast options that are both quick and healthy can be a minefield of misinformation and confusion.
Ultra-processed foods, often laden with refined sugars, seed oils, additives and preservatives have sadly become the norm these days in UK supermarkets with brands using savvy packaging and marketing to make them seem healthy.
Thankfully there is a growing movement of brands (including ourselves!) who are disrupting the supermarket shelves to bring higher quality choices with transparent ingredients you can trust.
Our favourite UPF free brands prioritise natural, wholefoods ingredients that taste delicious and are packed with natural goodness. Opting for a wholefood and nourishing breakfast can help set a positive tone for our health and overall wellbeing. Join us as we share our favourite paleo approved breakfast brands that can help you get off to the best start this Summer!
Best Plant-Based Milks - Plenish Nut M*lks
These delicious nut milks are made with just 3 ingredients: water, nuts and salt and are perfect paired with our granolas for breakfast or as a snack. They contain no added sugars, refined seed oils, emulsifies or gums that are commonly found within store bought nut milks. Make sure you shake them really well before pouring into your bowl or cup!
Best Kefir - Biotiful Kefir Original
Kefir is packed with good bacteria that is essential for our gut health and is packed with protein that helps keep us fuller for longer. Always opt for the natural, unflavoured kefir as the flavoured varieties can contain added sugars, artificial sweeteners and natural flavourings. We love the original kefir from Biotiful that contains just cows milk & live cultures to keep your gut microbiome happy!
Best Yoghurt - Fage Total Greek Yoghurt
A classic Greek yoghurt that has stood the test of time, Fage is made with only milk and live active yoghurt cultures. It comes in 3 fat varieties: 0%, 2% and 5% and contains no added sugar whilst being rich in protein. We love to top Fage with a generous sprinkle of our grain-free granolas to add a boost of plant points, fibre and healthy fats!
Best Collagen - Ancient & Brave True Collagen
Known as the best daily ritual for whole body health, collagen is an important protein in the body that contributes to skin, cartilage and bone health. We love Ancient & Brave’s True Collagen that provides easily digestible, highly absorbable and clinically researched Type 1 hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides. It’s great mixed into yoghurt, added to smoothies or shakes or scooped into your morning coffee or tea for a collagen boost with a wealth of benefits.
Best Grass-Fed Butter - Kerrygold Salted Butter
Made with just 2 ingredients: cream and salt, this famous pure Irish salted butter is a cult classic with over 50 years of heritage. It’s loved for its rich, creamy taste and is a versatile kitchen staple that contains an abundance of healthy fats and nutrients with no vegetable oils in sight. Grass-fed butter is considered to be healthier than butter from cows that eat grain because it’s higher in nutrients. Grass-fed butter also has a better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio and fewer toxins than regular butter making it a much healthier and tastier option!
Best Peanut Butter - Meridian Crunchy Peanut Butter
Every jar of Meridian Peanut Butter is crammed with 100% nuts with just a pinch of sea salt added and absolutely nothing else. They roast the whole peanut in their skins and crush them to achieve the perfect crunch. It’s perfect drizzled on your breakfast bowls with a sprinkle of our granola for the ultimate nutty combo!
