Breakfast - the unloved meal?
We love breakfast here at Shake Up Your Wake Up but our new research shows not everyone feels the same way. Just why is breakfast considered less important to many of us than lunch or dinner?
Vogue Williams' Mission Breakfast
This Breakfast Week we will be calling on everyone to rethink their breakfast as we launch 'Mission Breakfast'. First to take up the challenge is TV presenter and model Vogue Williams, who won the ITV Bear Gryll’s Mission Survive programme.
What breakfast is right for you?
Modern life means we all have demands on our time – and it can seem like there’s little time to make and eat breakfast before heading out of the house. That shouldn’t mean that breakfast gets forgotten – especially as there are so many quick and easy choices – but which breakfast is right for you?
Study shows children who eat breakfast perform better at school
New research, conducted by Cardiff University, shows that children who eat breakfast perform better at school than those who arrive hungry.
A new look for Shake Up Your Wake Up
Breakfast Week 2016 takes place from 24 – 30 January 2016 and we’ll be calling on you to take Mission Breakfast by rethinking the first meal of the day. We’ve had a little rethink ourselves here at Shake Up Your Wake Up as you’ll see from our new branding and website. We hope you like it!

Snack Attack
If you’re watching your weight you may want to be wary of 10.47am. This is the time when Brits are most likely to reach for a mid morning snack and how healthy the snack is depends on whether you’ve eaten breakfast!
Farmhouse Breakfast Week celebrations roll on
As Farmhouse Breakfast Week continues to get the nation talking breakfast once again, this year has seen a whole new visual element - #BreakfastWatch.

Farmhouse Breakfast Week - how are you celebrating?
Tuesday already – Farmhouse Breakfast Week is flying by!
Mums and kids miss out on breakfast
Hundreds of thousands of school children* across the country are missing out on breakfast as a quarter (24%) of parents admit to not ensuring their children eat a morning meal. Mums are also neglecting their own health with 42 per cent of them skipping breakfast once a week or more and one in ten admitting to never eating breakfast.
#BreakfastWatch - are you joining in the celebrations?
Good morning everyone. We hope the cold weather hasn’t been causing you too many problems.
Happy Farmhouse Breakfast Week
I hope you’re as excited as we are that our annual celebration of breakfast has arrived. There are so many great things going on all week from events and promotions, to radio interviews, the Breakfast Week Challenge, and of course #BreakfastWatch which kicked off this morning.
Farmhouse Breakfast Week - One week to go
After months of planning and preparation we are excited that Farmhouse Breakfast Week is now less than one week away.

If you’re planning on holding an event there’s still time to register on the website to let us and others know how you’re showing your support for breakfast – and don’t forget to tell your local media about it too.
#BreakfastWatch…coming soon
It’s less than two weeks until Farmhouse Breakfast Week and we want everyone to get involved this year. This is why we’re calling on you all to take part in #BreakfastWatch, our biggest online celebration of breakfast ever.
7 weeks to go...
We're not counting down to Christmas, we're counting down to Farmhouse Breakfast Week! We can hardly believe it's now only seven weeks away and the excitement in the office is starting to build.
The Nation's Breakfast
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day – or at least we should do! But how many of us are making time for it? And if so what are we actually eating and what time do we sit down for the first meal of the day? Our new study* into the nation’s breakfast eating habits, conducted ahead of Farmhouse Breakfast Week (20-26 January 2013), has the answers to this and so much more.
Nadia Sawalha joins the Shake Up Your Wake Up team
Here at Shake Up Your Wake Up it always puts a smile on our face when we find people who love breakfast as much as we do... and guess what we have! We've teamed up with breakfast fan and TV cookery expert Nadia Sawalha who is going to be helping us to encourage you all to Shake Up Your Wake Up during Farmhouse Breakfast Week in January.
Time to start event planning!
January might sound like a long way off but it will soon be here... in fact it’s just 14 weeks until Farmhouse Breakfast Week which means it’s time to start thinking about your events and promotions to celebrate breakfast!
New look website!
So here it is – our brand new Shake Up Your Wake Up website which has had a refresh with new colours and, we hope you agree, improved navigation.
