Have a Better Brekkie – this week and every week

Better Breakfast Week is now upon us and we couldn’t be happier.  Not only is Simply Nectar an official sponsor of the event but we also absolutely love breakfast.   It is by far the best meal of the day and all of us here at Simply Nectar HQ could graze on lots of different food at breakfast time. 

 

Better Breakfast Week is a new idea introduced to the world this year.  The aim of the week is to get the nation waking up to a healthier breakfast; to help them understand the importance of this meal.  Throughout the week (24 – 30 September) there will be lots of events and fun activities going on around the country.  Great breakfast recipes will be suggested and competitions will be running so keep your eyes peeled.  You can even win this hamper that contains Simply Nectar and lots of other goodies: http://betterbrekkie.com/whats-on/

 

 

If you don’t really understand all the hype around breakfast, don’t get that excited by it or are bored of your current breakfast routine then you need to read on because we are going to give you some excellent breakfast ideas.  If you don’t eat breakfast at all then you definitely need to read on as it really is an important meal for the body and the mind.  From helping with your weight to improving your mental and physical performance, breakfast really does have a lot to answer for.  Click here to find out more breakfast facts.

Simply Nectar is a perfect addition to any breakfast and it can be used to liven things up a bit.  There are many imaginative ways Simply Nectar can be used and here are a couple of our favourites.  Give them a try and see what you think:

Simply Nectar Muesli

Ditch the usual breakfast routine and tuck into something a little more exciting.  Instead of covering your cereal in milk pour over some Simply Nectar and enjoy a nutritious breakfast with a fruity twist. 

Our top suggestion would be to combine the thicker nectars with muesli to allow for a filling, flavoursome brekkie.  Cover the muesli in Simply Nectar (our favourites are Peach or Mango) and allow the fruit and oats to soak up the liquid.  We like ours soggy so we leave it for at least 10-15 minutes.  Throw in some extra nuts and raisins to allow for more texture and flavour and hey presto, there you have it.  If you’re feeling particularly adventurous why not mix it all with a few spoonfuls of yoghurt to give it a creamy edge.

Simply Nectar smoothie

1 bottle of Simply Nectar Mango

1 bottle of Simply Nectar Peach

1 banana (mashed)

2 tablespoons of vanilla yoghurt

1 tablespoon of oats

¼ cup of semi-skimmed milk

3 ice cubes

Pour the Simply Nectar Mango and Simply Nectar Peach into a blender and add the mashed banana.  Blend until smooth.  Add the yoghurt and oats and blend for another couple of minutes to allow the oats to mix.  Pour in the milk and blend until desired texture is reached.  Pour into a glass and serve with ice (optional).

So, what are you all waiting for?  Tuck in and enjoy a better breakfast....any time of the day!

Eggs, asparagus, stories and limericks...and a competition

Every day seems to be dedicated to some cause or another, most of which you have probably never heard of.  For example yesterday (8 May) was apparently “Have a Coke Day” and 7 May was ‘National Roast Leg of Lamb Day’ – obviously.  Why on earth these days exist and who created them I’ll never know, but at least they provide amusement and events the world over.

Not only is it the days that are devoted to causes, though.  There are also months and weeks and possibly even years that have some special dedication.  This month alone is apparently one of six things.  These are:

• Local and Community History Month
• National Egg Monthy
• National Salad Month
• National Chocolate Custard Month
• National Asparagus Month
• National Share a Story Month

Also this week is National Herb Week and next week is National Doughnut Week AND National Sandwich Week.

Now, I can’t imagine that anybody really knows how to celebrate these so called special dates, and even if there should be any celebrations at all.  But we at Simply Nectar (and at What On Earth) say there should be a celebration occurring.  Please feel free to delve into as much salad, chocolate custard and asparagus as you want all month long – within reason of course.  We don’t want to be held responsible for any problems eating these foods could cause!

There are two dates in particular that we’d like you to celebrate with us.  These are:
1)  National Share a Story Month
and
2)  Limerick Day (12 May 2012)

We want you to do one of two things (or do both if you fancy it).  Firstly we’d love to hear your stories so please do email/tweet/Facebook us with some funny stories.  These can be related to anything you want – as long as they make us laugh.

Secondly, we want you to write a limerick about Simply Nectar to celebrate Limerick Day on 12 May.  Again you can do it anyway you want.

The people who enter the funniest story and limerick will win some Simply Nectar drinks.

Get those creative hats on boys and girls.  We look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Send the stories to laura@whatonearth.co.uk, tweet them to @simplynectar or add them to our Facebook page www.facebook.com/SimplyNectar  You can even comment on this blog with them if you fancy it.

Simply creativity.
