To break or to not break your fast?

To break or to not break your fast? Putting the controversy around the magical powers or damning abilities of eating breakfast aside, we at Flourish believe that how you start your day massively impacts how it is to go on. And the effects of a delicious and nutritious breakfast are second to none before a busy day in the office.

Some would even argue that it is the most important meal of the day. So, it is best to make it a great one. Packed full of flavour and bursting full of those essential daily nutrients.

Let start with the facts

Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism, energises you for the day, improves brain function, provides you with vitamins and nutrients, and – with the perfect balance of flavours – improves mood and mindset for a positive outlook.

The science of breaking our fast

Our bodies drain our energy stores through the night to help us grow and repair. After unknowingly working both day and night, we need those stores replenished to get prepped and ready for the day. By the evening, quenched and content from healthy balanced meals throughout the day, a good night’s sleep is assured and on goes the cycle!

Working-week wake-up

At Flourish, we supply in-office breakfasts that nourish and energise, from berry compotes and homemade granolas to freshly prepared omelettes packed with bright and fibrous vegetables. We use only the best and freshest ingredients sourced in and around London, ensuring that our breakfasts’ health and flavour benefits – and all other meals we serve – are abundant.

Working with and catering to our clients requirements, we provide bespoke menus that reflect the desires of our their employees; whether peckish or famished, vegan or carnivorous, we believe in starting the day with ‘flourish’.

When catering for breakfast, we have found that the company outlook and mood have skyrocketed – employees are thriving, excited about coming into work, energised from their first moments in the office and sustained throughout the day with their hearty breakfasts and nourishing lunches.

The excitement of a catered meal, a hassle-free morning, and some money saved in the process continues to get staff up and into the office with enthusiasm.

One employee shared, “In-office breakfasts have really helped me get through the mid-week. My work and productivity have massively improved, and I am excited to get to the office early! It is so great to have a delicious hot meal before I even sit at my desk.”

We opt to ‘break the fast’ and so do our clients.

Let Flourish enhance the working day with delicious and nutritious breakfasts that are just as beautifully prepared as our fine dining menus designed for sister company Blue Strawberry, London’s leading luxury catering company. The team at Flourish know that an excellent and fulfilling meal makes all the difference to one’s day – especially in the busy working week.
