We’ve heard it all before, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet many people commute to the office on just a cup of coffee. For those of us who are avoiding gluten, grabbing something on the go can be a challenge. The reason? Many quick brekkie options contain gluten. Fancy grabbing a croissant or bagel to go? What about a cheese and tomato toastie or blueberry muffin with the skim flat mocha? It can be difficult to give up your favourite morning meals like Vegemite on toast and Weet-Bix drizzled in honey.
According to Sanitarium, “Approximately 1 in 70 Aussies have Coeliac disease and many others are eliminating or limiting gluten in their diet.”
When you don’t have time for a sit down breakfast and you are needing to avoid gluten, Gluten Free Up&Go is the ideal option for on the run.. “We’ve developed Gluten Free Up&Go to provide a convenient, great-tasting, gluten-free liquid breakfast choice.” said Jaemes Tipple, Up&Go Brand Manager – Sanitarium Health & Wellbeing.
Weet-Bix lovers rejoiced when Sanitarium brought out a gluten-free version of the breakfast cereal that was as flakey and tasty as the original. Now Up&Go will make “on the go” a breeze again.
