Tasty Breakfast Time

Nutritionists tell us that a balanced breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Spreading a portion of delicious nutella (15g or equivalent of 2 teaspoons) onto a slice of wholegrain toast, then adding a bowl of cereal (unsweetened) with milk or a glass of pure fruit juice can be a good tasty breakfast combination.

And because nutella is packed with hazelnuts, it releases energy slowly. When enjoyed as part of a balanced breakfast on wholegrain toast, it might help you/your child feel fuller for longer.

There are two hazelnuts, skimmed milk and a dash of cocoa in every serving of nutella (15g) and its smooth richness means you can spread it straight onto bread so there's no need to use butter or an alternative fat spread. This means that a portion of nutella (15g) on toast contains less fat (3.5g less) and sugar (2.2g less) than jam and butter on toast (measured against a 15g portion of jam with 10g butter).

Guideline daily amounts (GDA) and nutella

Guideline daily amounts or GDAs are a guide for adults and children highlighting all the daily approximate amounts of energy (kcal), fat and other nutrients a person needs every day for a healthy diet.

They are a useful reference point to help us assess our daily diets and create a tasty breakfast. Below is a guide to the % of an adult's GDA provided by a serving of nutella (15g).
