Can Nutella be a part of a healthy breakfast?
A. Yes, Ferrero recommends that Nutella be used to spread on white high fibre bread, and not eaten by itself to be part of a healthy breakfast. As indicated on our labels, 20grams is the serving size we recommend. We have worked with Accredited Practising Dieticians to show that Nutella can be eaten as part of a healthy balanced breakfast. As Nutella is classified as an occasional ‘extras’ food according to the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, we recommend it be eaten responsibly. Including three main meals plus snacks daily in a healthy eating pattern means that breakfast should provide approximately one quarter of a person’s daily food intake. This means you should aim for a balanced breakfast to provide approximately 20-25% of your kilojoule, protein, fat, carbohydrate and sodium needs daily (20-25% Daily Intake).
