The Princess of Wales has long been admired for her dedication to health and fitness.
And her daily breakfast choice is no different as it plays a key role in starting off her day right.
The busy mother of three, who celebrated her 43rd birthday last week, reportedly starts her mornings with slow-burn energy oats.
According to royal author Robert Jobson, Princess Kate maintains a balanced diet filled with fruits, vegetables, and wholesome snacks.
In his book Catherine, The Princess of Wales, Jobson wrote: “Catherine is said to favour slow-burn energy oats for breakfast and both are light eaters at lunch, enjoying salads and fruits.
“She also has healthy snacks and once told a child at Great Ormond Street Hospital that she ate a lot of olives.”
This nutritious choice aligns with her active lifestyle and love of sports, including her passion for tennis.
Known for being a “superfood,” oats provide sustained energy, making them ideal for the demands of a hectic schedule.
Oatmeal, or porridge, is packed with health benefits.
Rich in soluble fibre, particularly beta-glucan, oats help lower cholesterol by binding to bile acids in the gut and increasing cholesterol excretion.
A single 40g serving of rolled oats contains approximately 3g of fibre, contributing to heart health and digestive wellness.
Oats are also a powerhouse of essential nutrients, including thiamine, phosphorus, magnesium, and B vitamins such as niacin and folate.
These nutrients collectively support energy metabolism, ensuring steady energy levels throughout the day.
Beyond their nutritional value, oats are easy to prepare, versatile, and delicious.
Their ability to keep you feeling fuller for longer can help curb snacking and overeating, making them an excellent choice for weight management.
Despite her health-conscious choices, the princess is said to have a sweet tooth, with sticky toffee pudding being one of her favourite desserts.
