Come rain or shine, Weetabix is a winner. But can you really have Weetabix as a Christmas Day breakfast?
What is the best time of year to eat Weetabix?
Weetabix is a cereal for all seasons. Sure, a hearty bowl of ‘bix is a great breakfast for winter, but it’s equally delicious when the sun is shining.
Winter breakfast ideas
When it’s cold outside, don’t get the chills at brrr…eakfast time. Just like a thick winter blanket, Weetabix has got you covered.
During the big freeze, Warm-Welcome-A-Bix is one thaw-some recipe. Simply soak your Weetabix with milk, then stick it in the microwave for two minutes. Go wild with a dollop of peanut butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon and more berries and nuts than you can count.
Some of the best winter breakfast ideas are the simplest. Why not pair your Weetabix Original with a nice warm breakfast drink? Some opt for a classic tea or coffee, but there are plenty of new kids on the breakfast block – from turmeric lattes to matcha green tea.
What else to eat for breakfast in winter
Let’s face it – winter is about keeping warm, so you can’t go wrong with a steaming bowl of Ready Brek.
At lunchtime, it’s out with the salads and in with the soups and stews. And who doesn’t love a hearty winter meal? Brunch-A-Bix is like your favourite fry-up with a Weetabix twist.
Of course, it’s still important to get your ‘five a day’, so seasonal winter veg like mushrooms, kale and watercress are a good bet to add to your cooked breakfast.
Spring breakfast ideas
When the clocks move forward, we’re less inclined to hit the snooze button before breakfast. Early-Morning-Berry-A-Bix is a springtime favourite, thanks to the winning combination of chopped banana, chia seeds and frozen berries.
Wake up and grab and bowl of Weetabix Protein for a protein-packed, low sugar, high fibre start to your day. For added protein, scatter those cashews for your Pitch Perfect Protein Bowl.
Summer breakfast ideas
When summer finally comes, we all like our breakfast light and breezy. Pack your sandals and try Sunshine-In-Bowl-A-Bix – a marvellous mango, pear and coconut creation.
Feeling the heat? Make the best use of your leftover fruit and veg and blitz up a Smoothie-A-Bix. Think (frozen) berries, fat-free yoghurt and a drizzle of honey. Get creative and chuck half a Weetabix into the blender, then sprinkle the other half on top. A certified summer classic.
What else to eat for breakfast in summer
Alright, aside from Weetabix, what other summer breakfast ideas are there?
You can’t go wrong with seasonal fruits: think strawberries, blueberries and cherries. Load up the yoghurt bowl and create a fruity summer masterpiece.
Beyond breakfast, you can’t go wrong with fresh salads. In the summertime, cucumbers, courgettes and new potatoes are very much in-season.
Autumn breakfast ideas
When the leaves turn yellow and your shoes squelch underfoot, it’s time for a hearty autumnal breakfast. Eat seasonally and sprinkle pumpkin seeds and walnuts in your bowl of Weetabix, maybe with a slice of pear and a dollop of yoghurt.
Walnut-Loaf-A-Bix is a positively wholesome choice for an autumn breakfast or afternoon snack. And if in doubt, Weetabix with warm milk is a nice comforter when the days begin to shorten.
Christmas breakfast ideas
Okay – no one’s saying you should eat Weetabix for breakfast on Christmas day. Or are they?
The deliciously indulgent Oati-Pancake-A-Bix is one Christmas breakfast idea whose time has come. Picture a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes made from crushed Oatibix, topped with a drizzle of honey or syrup. Delish!
Gather round the table and tuck into your turkey, or better yet – Chicken-A-Bix! ‘Tis the season to crumble breadcrumbs and Weetabix over a roasted chicken dinner.
