Amagwinya

Amagwinya is South Africa's take on a doughnut. This indulgent treat is the perfect alternative to croissants. Before heading to work or school, make sure you pick up some of these treats. You can eat the amagwinya on its own, or top it with jam, curry, cheese or cold meat to make a more filling breakfast. Amagwinya

Ouma Rusks And Tea

An old favourite, no South African is able to turn down an Ouma rusk served with warm tea. These crispy morsels pair perfectly with a sweet cup of tea. Whether you're a dunker or not, this combo is the perfect treat on for a cold South African morning. Ouma Rusks

Oats

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which is why oats are the perfect go-to for a South African breakfast. Oats are healthy, filling and oh-so delicious. There are many ways to spruce up your morning oats - try adding a spoon of peanut butter and sliced banana or strawberry jam and blue berries. This dish will give you all the energy you need to conquer your day.

Weetbix

Weetbix is a classic South African breakfast. It doesn't matter if you're young, old, rich or poor, this cereal is a great way to start the day. Some prefer it warm, others like it cold, but no matter your preference, this meal has many benefits. Some of the benefits include being low in sugar, being an excellent source of healthy wholegrains and providing vitamins and minerals to help you start your day. Weetbix
