Breakfast of yoghurt with figs, honey, almonds and toasted oats

Try this special tasty breakfast and tick lots of nutritional boxes early in the day!

A great way to start the day, this breakfast is also an ideal snack either before or after your training.

Jacqueline Birtwisle, Rowing & Regatta magazine nutritionist, says: “This breakfast ticks lots of nutritional boxes, especially minerals. High in carbs, it also provides a bumper 25g protein and nearly half the daily requirement for calcium thanks to the figs, yoghurt and almond combo.”

You can add extra fruit to this dish as well – why not try a handful of blueberries or strawberries?
