Starting the day the right way with Ready Brek

I started giving my daughter Ready Brek when she was about 6 months old. It was one of the first tastes she ever experienced and she still has it for breakfast now she’s nearly 6! Sometimes she dabbles with other cereals with eye-catching packaging, but she always goes back to her old favourite.

Ready Brek is a breakfast must-have in many households, and everybody has their favourite type – original, chocolate, honey or seriously oatey. Ready Brek is a great way to start the day in a healthy way and provides a nutritional morning meal for the whole family.  It’s so easy to make (which is why I love it!) and gives long lasting energy for children who have a busy day at school before them.

My 5 year old doesn’t want to get out of bed in the morning. She’s always the last to get up but fortunately she’s never wanted to skip breakfast. I’ve prepared her Ready Brek for so long I can do it with my eyes shut, and the fact that it’s so quick and easy means that her breakfast can be put on the table in under a minute. It’s also a great way to ensure she has a healthy amount of milk.

Over the years I’ve tried to make her breakfast a little more interesting. We’ve tried all the different Ready Brek varieties but she prefers the original one. There are loads of ways you can create your own unique breakfast recipe. We’ve tried a swirl of jam, a handful of raisins, and even a sprinkle of cinnamon. She just loves it as it is.

Ready Brek is available from all good supermarkets and food stores from £2, perfect for ages 6 months and over.
