Breakfast tends to be a very high carb meal, traditionally cereal or toast. While these taste great, they won’t keep you full for long and they can put you on the blood sugar rollercoaster for the rest of the day.

The nuts are great with fruit as a snack. The seeds can be used as snacks but also sprinkled on any dish that needs a salty hit or a crunchy texture, such as soups and salads. They’re great as part of your weekend prep to have in the cupboard for quick snacks during the week. www.midlifemenu.com/recipes/nuts-and-seeds

My preference is for almond milk or sunflower seed milk but have a go and see what you prefer. midlifemenu.com/recipes/nut-seed-milk
