Get busy mornings off to a bright start

Alarm Clock

Mornings can be manic for families, furiously making packed lunches, finding PE kits and getting everyone out the door at the same time. With all there is to think about, it’s not surprising that ensuring your family gets a good breakfast is sometimes tricky.

Finding a balance between giving them the nutritious, healthy foods you know they need and the tastes they love can be a real challenge. A bottle of Actimel at breakfast can be a great tasty addition! Just one small bottle contains 10 billion L.casei Danone cultures. And with delicious flavours such as Strawberry, Blueberry and Orange to choose from, your family is sure to love them.

Here are a few ways to streamline your morning routine...

Fruit

The Breakfast Plan

Help your family make the right choices and offer them a variety of options:

  • A bowl of wholegrain cereal or porridge is full of fibre and will help keep them full until lunchtime.
  • Adding fruit to cereal is a quick, easy and colourful way of making sure everyone eats a portion of fruit before leaving home.
  • Why not add a bottle of Actimel to breakfast? There are lots of flavours to choose from so it keeps breakfast interesting.
  • The classic breakfast favourite of boiled eggs and soldiers is a nutritious way to start the day. Add a glass of orange juice for vitamin C.

Morning Tips

Morning routine

A healthy breakfast is a great way to get your day off to a good start. And why not add a bottle of Actimel, too? Find a flavour you’ll love and serve up a bottle every morning as part of your daily routine.

Uniform

Well-fitting shoes that support their feet and clothes that allow them room to grow will keep children feeling comfortable all day long – and last more than one term!

Lunch box

Decorated with favourite stickers and filled by mums or dads, kids’ packed lunches should be loaded with healthy food that will keep them going all day. Try to balance their lunch with complex carbohydrates, protein, dairy, fruit and a refreshing drink to keep them hydrated.

Bag

Roomy enough to fit PE gear, pencil case, lunch box and homework inside, but not bigger than they are, school bags are an essential piece of kit. A double-strapped rucksack will ensure the weight is distributed evenly across their shoulders, avoiding any pulling on one side.
