Top tips:

  • Look for baked beans with no added sugar and opt for reduced salt bacon to make the breakfast healthier.
  • Use back bacon rather than streaky and remove the fat before eating.
  • Large cans of baked beans can be better value than small ones. Share with a friend or store leftovers in a plastic container in the fridge for the next day.
