Try these summer breakfast recipes to kick-start your day
Looking to change up your morning meal? Try these three summer breakfast recipes for a fruity kick
For most of us, porridge provides a warm and creamy bowl of goodness that is perfect for those cold, winter mornings. By the time summer comes around, we’ve given it the breakfast back-seat. Lately, however, overnight oats has become a popular substitute, providing a versatile and nutritious breakfast. Here, the breakfast experts at Flahavan’s share three summer, fruity breakfast recipes that serve up to three people – perfect for preparing in bulk, or sharing with the family.
