Breakfast is a hard meal to get right as often it centers around convenience foods which are usually pretty unhealthy. However, Kellogg’s has come to the rescue with their Ancient Legends brand, which is a delicious range of wholesome granolas, mueslis and cereals bursting with ancient grains and seeds. The collection includes rye, spelt, chia, flax and quinoa – ingredients which have been grown for millennia and offer a multitude of nutritional benefits.
The grains rye and spelt are rich in fibre and B vitamins, which help us to release energy from food and stay energised throughout the day, whilst chia and flax seeds are rich in Omega 3. Quinoa is a great source of protein, and along with flax and chia seeds contains high levels of minerals calcium and magnesium, which aid the normal functioning of the nervous system and maintenance of healthy bones.
To celebrate all thing’s breakfast here’s a recipe using the cereal that you’ll absolutely love!
