Longer daylight hours means an opportunity to get out and about - why not go for a cycle ride or a brisk walk or put some extra effort into your garden? Whatever you want to do with the additional daylight hours you'll need enough energy and impetus to give you that get up and go. Follow our tips for a fully re-charged battery! ü Break that fast and start the day with a well-balanced breakfast
Porridge is not just the ideal winter warmer it makes a great Spring time alternative to cereal and sets you up perfectly for the day ahead. For a natural sweetness and a Spring-like zing sprinkle a few lemon raisins on the top.
ü Keep energy levels stable by eating little and often, ideally every 3-4 hours
If you're on your feet all day make sure you take plenty of portable snacks. Munchy seeds and Nairn's Oat Bakes are great options for stashing in the glove compartment of the car or in your handbag.
If you're not far travelled then how about some mini oatcakes topped with nut butter for a perfect balance of protein and complex carbohydrate? These are guaranteed to keep you energised right through to your next mealtime.
ü Choose low GI options for lunch or dinner
