Stretched but not snapped

Fruity Breakfast and a Giveaway!

I am delighted to have been chosen as one of the bloggers taking part in the Princes’ healthy breakfast promotion. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day and sending them on their way with a tummy full of goodness has been one of my top priorities since they all started school. Princes’ prepared fruits in fruit juice are an easy way to pop one or two of their five-a-day into breakfast and tick those ‘good parent’ boxes without too much pain!

I am also taking part in their ‘stress test’ to see if breakfast really is the most stressful time of the day for parents so the last few mornings have seen me strutting my stuff with a heart rate monitor on my chest – a good look which I almost carried off!

One of our favourite breakfast dishes has always been porridge with a tin of peaches stirred in so Bonus Boy’s face lit up like a little beacon when he saw peaches were included in our goodie box. The pineapple pieces will not be seen in my photograph because The Tall one nabbed them and scoffed them before I got my camera out and the apple juice is missing too for much the same reason!

When you have finished reading this post why not wander over to the Princes website for some more ideas. Vegetarians aren’t as well served over there as I would like but there are some very nice recipes for peachy desserts and a downloadable 5-a-day portion planner which could come in handy.

I have one of the goody boxes to give away so if you would like to win all of the above (plus the missing peaches and apple juice…and an alarm clock which has disappeared into Bonus Boy’s bedroom!) just leave a comment below telling me your favourite fruit.
