Strawberries in yoghurt and toast - a quick and easy brekkie

I know lots of people who don't have a proper breakfast. Yet we're constantly told that we should start the day with a good breakfast. I admit that for years I didn't eat breakfast - couldn't stomach it, blah blah blah. But then I started to take charge and look after myself so I started with just small portions and now I wake up hungry and really look forward to the first meal of the day.
Here is a really easy breakfast which I made this morning which is delicious, light and keeps me satisfied until late morning/lunchtime. Also I exercise mid-morning almost everyday so it's important that my breakfast gives me enough fuel to bash out those punches or kicks!

In a small bowl, I put about 160gm of low fat greek yoghurt topped with fresh strawberries, almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Lately I've also been adding a teaspoon of chia seeds which are high in protein and omega 3s.
On the side, I toasted some kibbled rye bread with a light spread of avocado seasoned with pepper.
Had this with a cup of herbal tea.
