Start your day right this winter with a nutritious breakfast to stay healthy

THIS winter, we all need to take care of our health – and eating a nutritious breakfast is a step in the right direction.

Today I look at foods to start the day, while Tara experiments with body makeup that will help you shine through Christmas.

COLD – TRIBE just launched Active Oats+, a gluten-free and high-fiber instant breakfast oats.

It’s overnight instant oats. Just add milk or nut milk and serve. You can also reheat them in the microwave.

There are four flavors – I like Apple, Blueberry + Pecan. Each contains a billion gut-friendly cultures, 10g of plant protein, ten vitamins and minerals at 30% of your NRV.

HOT – MOMA has a great variety of oat restaurants. Their seamless pitchers are great – you just open the lid, pour over boiling water and let it sit for a few minutes.

Great if you’re in a hurry. My favorite is the Coconut and Chia filling which contains gluten-free whole grain oats (77%), coconut milk, desiccated coconut and chia seeds.

They have a pleasant coconut flavor but are not overpoweringly sweet. 234kcal per 55g pot, 17.6% fat and 6g protein.

SUGAR REDUCTION JAM – Jam sales have increased by 22% in the past year.

Many are filled with sugar but Fearne & Rosie creates jams and honey with 40% less than standard jam at their family factory in Yorkshire using local ingredients.

Their new antioxidant-rich reduced-sugar strawberry and blueberry jam has only 3.4g of sugar per 10g serving which, for a jam, is low. Tastes great and is perfect for Christmas.

Beauty with Tara Ledden

BUDGET: For a shimmer that’s believable and doesn’t break the bank, this easy-to-apply Rimmel hero delivers a streak-free shine that’s perfect for your pins.

It’s water-resistant, not waterproof, so be sure to shield your shoulders under the padding instead of letting water splash in the rain.

It washes well in the shower with soap and water but leaves no stains on white bedding. A glory of victory.

INTERMEDIATE STAGE: The best features of this foundation are its lightweight feel and impressive coverage, glides on smoothly and conceals scars and uneven skin tone.

I wore it over my trim for a period of eight hours and it stayed healthy the entire time. For best effect, I combine it with primer but it can be used on its own.

There are many different shades to suit every skin tone. I also like the dew effect, which translates well in the photo.

LUXURIOUS: Achieve celebrity limbs fast with this luxury product. The application experience is delightful thanks to the cooling menthol and soothing aloe ingredients.

The bright summer glow, accented by a precious metal highlighter blend, is very flattering and smooths out my winter puffiness.

I feel leaner, slimmer and more supple thanks to the shine. Valuable. My favorite.
