There’s nothing like starting your day with a hearty, balanced meal ensuring your nutrition intake is adequate from the get-go. Below we have created an easy, nutritious recipe that’s calcium-rich thanks to more than 10 essential nutrients found in the dairy components of this recipe.

Dairy? Yes, dairy! For too long – dairy has been miss-labeled throughout media as a food that should be avoided for optimum health. In our view? All dairy products are an integral part of an everyday balanced diet, and no food group should be cut out unless advised so by your health practitioner.

3 reasons why we love dairy

  • Cultured dairy foods like yoghurt contain probiotics, which provide a wide range of health benefits. Probiotics in the diet can enhance gut health and reduce the risk of certain diseases.
  • Dairy provides a rich source of protein and calcium contributing to strong bone health.
  • Consuming dairy is linked with fertility and can increase your chances of falling pregnant.
