Look to FairPrice's Housebrand Healthier Picks for a better breakfast

Now that we are no longer required to tackle rush-hour traffic or peak periods while commuting every morning due to the circuit breaker, there is no better opportunity to whip up a breakfast that'll do your mind and body a whole lot of good.

Start your day with oats and almonds splashed with milk for a hearty and healthy meal.

To help you with that, look no further than FairPrice Housebrand's Healthier Picks campaign, which provides more than 100 different quality Housebrand Healthier Choice Symbol food products.

They are easy to find if you are shopping in-store as FairPrice has implemented tags to identify this curated range.

Nothing fills you up quite like FairPrice Baked Almonds.

The natural, cholesterol-free snack is also low in sodium.

Almonds are also nutrient powerhouses, providing a great source of Vitamin E, calcium and magnesium to kickstart your day.

ROLLED OATS

Don't just have them on their own. Add the almonds to FairPrice Rolled Oats from Australia for a healthier breakfast.

The oats are produced by the age-old method of kiln-drying, before removing the hull or husk.

The oats are then cut, steamed and rolled into fine flakes between rollers.

This milling process ensures a high percentage of nutrients are retained in each mouthful.

Serve fresh fruits of your choice with these wholegrains to further enhance the meal.

Pair all this with FairPrice Low Fat Milk for extra goodness and zero preservatives.

Made from 100 per cent fresh milk from Australia, it is treated under ultra-high temperature, and freshness is ensured for up to 10 months without refrigeration.

Alternatively, you can supplement your diet with FairPrice High Calcium Adult Milk-Based Powder.

High in calcium and Vitamin D, it contains no preservatives, artificial flavouring or colouring.

With every gulp, you are consuming nutrients like FOS inulin, magnesium, protein and vitamin A, which helps in calcium absorption and nerve, muscle and immune functioning.
