Yahoo Lifestyle Five fast breakfast food ideas
Apple and cinnamon porridge – which tastes just like apple strudel – only it’s healthy ! Make up a big batch of LSA (recipe below) as this is your porridge base and store in the fridge for maximum freshness.
Apple is high in pectin fibre that helps keep you fuller for longer as well as a mineral called boron that helps strengthen your bones and keep you alert. LSA can help reduce cholesterol and fight diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels because of its high fibre and high omega 3 content. A touch of cinnamon can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
