It’s true that at the end of everything, only memories that will forever stay. Be it photographs, moments or anything else. I never thought that I could be part of Nestle Breakfast Cereals<\/strong> global event held in Thyme, England (United Kingdom)<\/strong>. Yes, it was like a dream come true for me! I was there for three days where my husband joined me, and there I met some other bloggers from around the world. Though the location is far away, and it took two hours drive from London Heathrow<\/strong> airport to reach Thyme, England<\/strong>, but the trip was totally worth it! Set in a beautiful countryside in the heart of the South West of the UK<\/strong>, the Cotswolds<\/strong>, we were invited to learn more about Nutrition, Food Styling & Photography<\/strong> with Nestle Breakfast Cereals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image”

I bet you’ll fall in love with this place! And thank you so much, Nestle<\/strong>, for the unforgettable experience. Now I know that I should have a well-balanced breakfast, at least 2-3 times a week, with a bowl of Nestle cereal<\/strong> that can help me consume at least 8g of whole grain every morning. <\/p>\n
\nWe started our day with healthy breakfast and followed by discussion and Q&A session with Constanza Caceres<\/strong>, the Global nutritionist of Nestle<\/strong> who is always passionate about nutrition. She said that lots of people often skip breakfast where it’s actually the most important meal of the day. Breakfast fuels the body after the overnight fast and kick-starts your metabolism.\n<\/p>\n
\n1. some dairy,
\n2. a piece of fruit,
\n3. a glass of water for hydration,
\n4. a whole grain based food,
\n5. and an optional additional source of protein. <\/p>\n
