1. Nutrus - Muesli with Probiotics - Fruit & Nut
Your bowl of muesli now gets a boost of probiotics! Various studies have all pointed to the incredible benefits of probiotics for our 'gut'.

It is made with malted wheat flakes, corn flakes and rolled oats along with dry fruits and nuts such as almonds and raisins, in fruity flavours like mango, apple, strawberry and pineapple. The best way to enjoy this product is to soak the muesli overnight in milk and a little yoghurt.

4. Organic Origins - Almond Butter
Not all fats are bad for you. Nut butters are high in calories but they contain the good kind of fats, which when consumed in limited quantities are beneficial for health, giving you a much needed energy boost. While peanut butter has been a regular feature on the breakfast table, most of the commercial products are laced with preservatives. Organic Origin's almond butter boasts of being made with 100% organic ingredients and without any additives. It contains almonds, coconut sugar, cinnamon and Himalayan pink salt. Spread a dollop on your morning toast or use it while making sandwiches. It is creamy and flavourful.
