Shake Up Your Wake Up!

It is often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day - and at Mitchells Dairy, we couldn't agree more!

That's why from the 20th - 26th January, we will be supporting Farmhouse Breakfast Week, an annual celebration championing the importance of breakfast.

When we found out that a staggering 47% of people skip breakfast on a regular basis, we decided to support this year's campaign, Shake Up Your Wake Up.

Organised on behalf of UK cereal farmers and producers, the campaign encourages more people to enjoy a healthy and tasty breakfast.

If you want to do so, then look no further than Mitchells! 

We are open from 7.30am - 5.30pm Monday to Saturday and 11am - 4pm on a Sunday, which is perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch.

Our great selection of tasty breakfast options are made to suit - and options include hot filled rolls (bacon/sausage/egg or a combination), cereal, toast/croissants/butteries/fresh homemade scones (which vary daily and include cheese, bacon and egg), porridge and eggs/omelettes.

Or if you want to spoil yourself and forget about your diet for just one day, why not indulge in our "all day breakfast" which includes 8 items on your plate plus toast and tea or coffee?

If you want to get involved in the fun, why not send us in your favourite breakfast or unusual breakfast recipes? Or even send us in your photos - we would love to feast our eyes on your delicious breakfasts.

Simply upload your breakfast photos to the Mitchells' Facebook page, or if you would prefer to upload your picture on Twitter, send the picture to @MitchellsDairy.

If you are on Twitter, make sure you include the hashtag #shakeupyourwakeup to see other breakfast inspiration from the rest of the nation.

So, why is breakfast important?

We are fully supporting a campaign called "Shake Up Your Wake Up" which is running between the 22nd to the 28th of January 2012 as part of the Farmhouse Breakfast Week.

Did you know that the word "breakfast" was first used in the English language in 1463 and is often described as the most important meal of the day! And here's why:

• It helps to hydrate you and increases your concentration levels throughout the day
• It gives you a sustained source of energy for the day ahead.
• Eating a breakfast such as porridge, which is rich in starchy carbohydrates, provides a slow release of energy
• Drinking a glass of fresh juice will provide you with vitamin C and also helps to absorb the iron which is provided from cereal and bread.
• Dairy products provide calcium for the development and strengthening of strong bones and teeth.
• Breakfast is also the ideal opportunity for children to start the day with a balanced diet and helps to keep them fuller for a longer.

How do you take part? 
Here at Mitchells, we provide lots of locally sourced produce to start off your day.
