🥞The official launch of the Breakfast Toolkit 🍳

✨ New Year, New Resolutions for a Healthier Lifestyle! ✨

We are thrilled to officially launch the EFAD Breakfast Toolkit! 🎉

Dive into a world of wholesome goodness with our Balanced Breakfast Recipe Booklet, featuring 20 mouthwatering recipes ranging from classic favorites to innovative twists.

But that's not all! We're thrilled to present our Social Media Toolkit – specially crafted for dietitians to share with their audience in their everyday practice! 📲🍽️ Transforming our recipe booklet into vibrant social media content, this toolkit is your go-to guide for spreading the word on balanced breakfasts.

Dietitians, find everything you need, including the Breakfast Toolkit and educational videos explaining the science behind breakfast, on the EFAD Learning platform. Empower your clients with knowledge and delicious recipes for a healthier start!

The Breakfast Toolkit was developed by EFAD along with the University of Applied Sciences for Health Professions Upper Austria, and San Pablo CEU University, with the support of MS Nutrition and Cereal Partners Worldwide. EFAD received an unrestricted educational grant from CPW and CPW did not influence the professional opinion of the dietitians and research teams working on the project or the dietetic content of any materials produced.

 Dive into the BreakfastTookit world.
