Cereals, toasts and sweet delights may seem unavoidable during breakfast time, but it is advisable to consume healthier food to begin your day with, says an expert. According to Ilona Wesle, a nutritionist and co-founder of a detox diet website, wheat must be avoided in the morning as it converts quickly to sugar and then fat, and that even without the added sugar in cereals and jams, reports femalefirst.co.uk.Here are a few tasty ideas which will satiate your tummy as well as taste buds:Bircher muesli: Take rolled oats with sliced apple and pear (or whatever fruit, nuts and raisins take your fancy). Then soak it all in some agave syrup or apple juice overnight in a bowl. Eat with soya yoghurt the next morning. Delicious as a snack any time of day, and full of good fibre and protein.

Try courgette, broccoli, lemon, apple and fennel for a zesty morning kick.Cucumber and Kiwi Juice
