Schools start the day with Farmhouse Breakfast
Pupils from across Warwickshire have been kick-starting the day with a healthy breakfast as they celebrate Farmhouse Breakfast Week.
Many nutritional experts consider breakfast to be the most important meal of the day and research suggests that a healthy, balanced breakfast can aid concentration and mental performance.
Warwickshire’s County Caterers have devised a special Farmhouse Breakfast Week menu, which is being served in 27 schools across the county this week (from 22-26 January) as part of their healthy meals drive. Dishes include porridge, breakfast muffins and banana breakfast bowls.
Lindsay Higgins of Warwickshire County Council’s catering arm said: “We want to promote healthy eating at every opportunity and we are delighted to be involved in Farmhouse Breakfast Week. It’s no secret that a good breakfast boosts brain power and energy levels.”
The Farmhouse Breakfast Week campaign is a national promotion put together by the Home-Grown Cereals Authority, which aims to highlight the importance of breakfast and the range and quality of regional breakfast produce available in the UK.
