If you are on Twitter you’ll have seen lots of fruity tweets with the hashtag #Princesbrekkie – several families have been chosen to receive a Princes fruity hamper to help us incorporate more fruit into our diets, starting with breakfast. The best of it is… it couldn’t be easier!
Breakfast time can be busy (and stressful!) but it really is the most important meal of the day. We decided to use some of our fabulous fruity treats for a buffet-style breakfast where we could explore!
[slideshow id=2]
As you can see the fruity experiment was a huge success. Lots of tasting and mixing, fruit with toast, fruit on porridge (Kieran served Daddy a dish with different types), fruit on it’s own or with yogurt…. all washed down with lovely fresh fruit juices.
Any left up fruit has been chopped up and we are having fruit salad for pudding tonight so we will definitely be reaching our five portions a day target! Clearly incorporating fruit into our breakfast doesn’t have to be hard, or difficult. We will definitely be doing it more often.
Thumbs up to Princes!
COMPETITION CLOSED
Princes have generously offered to send one of my readers a fruity box of their own.
The Princes breakfast box includes a set of six bowls and six tumblers, table placemats, an alarm clock, a colouring book to entertain the kids, a relaxing candle for the mums, money-off coupons and, of course, a range of Princes canned fruit – including grapefruit segments, peach slices, pear halves, fruit cocktail, pineapple chunks and mandarin segments – and Princes pure juices.
To be in with a chance of winning simply leave a comment telling me your favourite fruit and leaving me a way to contact you.
**This giveaway ends on the 11th October and the winner will be chosen via a randomiser program.
NO ENTRIES AFTER MIDDAY WILL BE ACCEPTED
***If I can’t get hold of the winner by the 18th October, a new winner’s name will be pulled.
CONGRATULATIONS TO J STOKES (CONTACT DETAILS PROVIDED).
I love strawberries! @wendymcd83
My favourite fruit has to be watermelon, no cherries, no melon. OKay I like both, if I absolutely had to pick one I would go for cherry being my favourite (especially in a pie with lashings of cream – yum!)
@MoolBoots
Red grapes are my favourite, I could easily eat a whole bunch myself
This prize may actually get me eating breakfast – I find it so boring so don’t usually bother.
@emmys_mummy
My favourite fruit is either watermelon or strawberries, love them as equally as much
wendy

I love raspberries! x
Green grapes! Frozen or chilled, but once i start on them i cant stop!

@mumoffunkids
My favourite fruit is mango – I absolutely adore it in all its forms: juice, fruit itself, ice cream, sweets….It’s fabulous chopped and added to Greek yoghurt, sprinkled with brown sugar and grilled, cubed up into cereal, added to a crumble, frozen slices floating in a long drink, or just on its own!
The good old British apple is my favourite – especially now in ‘apple season’ support local 😉

Apples and strawberries are my favourite! I grew my own strawberries this year and it was great to just pick them from the garden and eat!
i love strawberries and raspberries the best!
@ashlallan
Ilove lots of fruit but if I have to choose a favourite then it would be cherries.
I absolutely love pineapples!
@gidders1 on twitter
My favourite is Mango but it can be a pain to prepare, even with my mango corer! And it has to be eaten at just the right time so it is sweet and juicy. When it is right, it is like nectar! Yum
But for my favourite everyday fruit, it has to be banana and I always have one with me when I am out. When my kids didn’t want breakfast, I always insisted they took a banana with them. This morning my daughter was off to sit an important exam and my last words to her were ‘take a banana with you!’ I’m sure my grandkids will call me banana nana.

I’m a bit of an odd one and don’t really like fruit. I really wish I did as it always looks so colourful and inviting, but it’s a texture thing for me. Fortunately my husband and children do love fruit, so I would love to win this for them. My kids adore strawberries and raspberries.
My favourite fruit is Melon, its so refreshing and remind me of exotic holiday abroad 🙂

I just love fruit. My favourite often depends on the time of the year. I love English strawberries in the summertime. Other times of the year they have no taste. Raspberries are gorgeous. Bananas are great. Apples are fantastic. Melons, yum. I think that I could live on fruit, quite happily. Is there such a thing as a fruitarian?
When I can get them I put cranberries in virtually all my savoury dishes!
strawberries (with meringue and cream)
@purplecatlover
Ma favourite fruit is blackberries. I love this time of year when I can go out picking the blackberries. Unfortunately I eat most of them when picking so very few make it home.
