Bone broth powder in everything

Registered nutritional therapist Lucia Stansbie, of Food Power Nutrition, has started adding bone broth powder to her breakfast bowls, smoothies and overnight oats. “These powders are flavourless – I recommend Freja – and are a great source of protein, including amino acids glycine and proline, which help support a healthy immune system. Bone broth also provides easy-to-absorb collagen, which not only supports skin texture but also the health of our joints and gut lining.

“Powders provide all the benefits of bone broth without the faff of cooking it from scratch.”

Oats: upgraded

This breakfast staple is getting a makeover. Prized for being a rich source of fibre, protein and beta glucan to help lower cholesterol, oats have been high on the breakfast menu for years. But nutritionists are loving these new twists on the breakfast classic.

Cottage cheese oats

Nutritional therapist Jen Walpole has a novel take: “Cottage cheese had a bit of a moment in 2024 and it’s here to stay. A new way to use it in 2025 is to add it to oats – you heard it here first! Adding cottage cheese to overnight oats, along with a natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup, is delicious and protein-rich. Throw in some chopped walnuts and figs and you have a delicious and satiating breakfast.”

Fermented oats

The Gut Health Doctor Dr Megan Rossi says that her top breakfast pick for 2025 is overnight fermented oats. “Instead of using milk, I opt for kefir which packs in millions of beneficial microbes. For added flavour and even more gut-loving diversity, I mix in grated carrots, dates, nuts and seeds. Instead of popping it into the fridge, I leave it out overnight as the microbes need warmth for that fermentation process to take place. Those tiny bubbles you might see in the morning prove your microbes have been hard at work.”
