THIS winter we all need to look after our health – and having a nutritious breakfast is a step in the right direction.

Today I look at foods to start the day, while Tara tests body make-up that will help you glow throughout Christmas.

COLD – TRIBE have just launched Active Oats+, instant breakfast oats that are gluten-free and high-fibre.

It’s instant overnight oats. Just add milk or nut milk and serve. You can warm them up in the microwave too.

Comes in four flavours – I loved the Apple, Blueberry + Pecan. Each contains one billion gut-friendly cultures, 10g plant protein, ten vitamins and minerals with 30 per cent of your NRV.

HOT – MOMA have a huge range of jumbo oat porridges. Their instant pots are great – you simply peel back the lid, pour over boiling water and leave for a few minutes.

Great if you are in a rush. My favourite is the filling Coconut and Chia which contains wholegrain gluten-free oats (77 per cent), coconut milk, desiccated coconut and chia seeds.

They have a lovely coconut taste but aren’t sickly sweet. 234kcal per 55g pot, 17.6 per cent fat and 6g of protein.

REDUCED-SUGAR JAM – Jam sales have shot up in the past year by 22 per cent.

Many are full of sugar but Fearne & Rosie create jams and honey with 40 per cent less than standard jam at their family factory in Yorkshire using local ingredients.

Their new antioxidant-rich Strawberry and Cranberry Reduced Sugar Jam has just 3.4g of sugars per 10g serving which, for a jam, is low. Tastes amazing and perfect for Christmas.

Beauty with Tara Ledden

BUDGET: For a reliable shimmer that won’t break the bank this easy-to-apply Rimmel hero product offers a streak-free shine, perfect for your pins.

It’s water-resistant rather than waterproof so remember to shield shoulders under a brolly rather than risking water splodges in the rain.

It washes off in the shower with soap and water but doesn’t leave stains on white bedding. A winning glow.

MID RANGE: The best features about this foundation are its lightweight touch and impressive coverage, smoothly gliding over and disguising scar and uneven skin tone.

I wore it on my decolletage over an eight-hour period and it kept up a healthy glow for the entirety. For best effects, I paired it with a primer but it can be used on its own.

There are lots of different shades to colour-match any skin tone. I also liked the dewy effect, which translated well in photos.

LUXURY: Achieve celebrity limbs fast with this luxury product. The application experience is delightful thanks to the cooling menthol and soothing aloe vera ingredients.

The summer glimmer, accentuated by its precious-metal highlighter mix, is flattering on the skin and smoothed over my winter puffiness.

I felt leaner, slimmer and more supple thanks to the shine. Worth the price tag. My favourite.
