Fruit

This low-sugar pancake recipe from The Foodie Dentist uses oats and mashed bananas for a healthier start to the day

A filling, protein-rich breakfast, with live yogurt to introduce probiotics at the start of your day. Using slightly unripe bananas increases the resistant starch in the diet, a valuable source of prebiotic food for the ‘good’ bacteria in your gut

This smoothie is packed with powerful phytonutrients that help fight disease, while full-fat yogurt is loaded with good bacteria. Add chia seeds for extra protein

This is a very simple smoothie that combines protein and slow-release carbs to help keep you full all morning. If you want to boost the vitamin content, try adding a handful of frozen blueberries or strawberries to the mix

Handy little breakfast pots, packed with goodness. Live yogurt provides ‘good’ bacteria, while cardamom is thought to be good for your immune system

You may not have considered using herbs in sweet recipes, but they work particularly well with stone fruit. Bay lends this jam a gentle fragrance, but thyme or even rosemary would work well, too

A tropical fruit salad to brighten up your morning or a refreshing end to a meal

Make the most of seasonal rhubarb in this foodie project for the weekend. The perfect balance of sweet and sharp, this homemade jam makes a lovely edible gift and is delicious spread on toast or swirled through yoghurt for breakfast

With a hint of Middle Eastern flavour, this makes a refreshing end to a meal or a delicious breakfast, served with thick vanilla or honey yogurt
