It is the most important meal of the day.
So, naturally, it’s a great oppourtunity to load up your breakfast with ingredients rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
However, a few additions here and there could drive up your calorie count far higher than necessary.
But these healthy breakfast hacks are some options for loading up on volumes of nutrients, with virtually no calories.
From porridge to pancakes, it’s time to get sprinkling.

The hack: Baobab
Move over berries, the African superfruit Baobab is the most highly concentrated with antioxidants, according to research in The Journal of Nutrition.
Combined with a huge dose of vitamin C, more than three times the amount of an orange, your skin health and immune system will be thanking you.
Vitamin C not only promotes collagen formation, leading to glowing skin, it’s also a favourite amongst fitness junkies.
Research by the university of Birmingham found that volunteers who took vitamin C exhibited 75 per cent more post exercise recovery than those who consumed vitamin E or a placebo.
This is because baobab may help keep blood sugar (and later cravings) stable, which means it’s great for a breakfast option too.
