For many of us, cereal is often the quickest and easiest breakfast choice in the morning. What could be simpler than pouring milk into a bowl and adding some cereal? However, while this breakfast is undeniably easy, many breakfast cereals don’t offer a decent nutritional start to the day. Luckily, with just a few simple toppings you can boost the health profile of your breakfast, without slowing down your morning routine. Check out these three simple additions which will provide a nutritional (and taste) boost.

Cacao Nibs

These small dark nibs are made from cocoa beans, and contain an incredible amount of health-boosting antioxidants. They are low in sugar but high in healthy fats, and the fiber in these nibs helps to promote healthy digestion.

Mixed Seeds

A sprinkling of mixed seeds over your morning cereal can deliver a whole host of benefits, including a brain boost from the omega 3 and 6, smoother, bouncier skin from the vitamin E, stronger bones and muscles from the protein and calcium, and boosted digestion thanks to the fiber content.

Berries

Fresh or frozen berries can add sweetness to your cereal without you needing to reach for the honey or sugar in the morning. These little powerhouses are also packed with antioxidants, protecting your body throughout, and they will provide you with a range of vitamins and minerals to boost your overall health.
