Review: Reebok Sports Club

Yet if you go for the continental option - all fruit and croissants - you feel all healthy and European, but come 10am you'll be chewing on your mouse mat.

So what's the answer? Well it's taken me a while to find, but I stumbled across it by accident at the Reebok Sports Club Bar & Restaurant, which is probably the first place I should have looked for a healthy combination, being a gym and all.

Yes, it was at the restaurant above Waitrose where the fit and trendy hang out, with fantastic views across Jubilee Park, that I had my epiphany.

I was looking at the menu when the full English breakfast was cross-sectioned with a fruit smoothie, just like that scene from A Beautiful Mind when Russell Crowe shows how clever he is.

Now I may not be the first person to notice - in fact I may be the last given my stuborn view that only tea or coffee is drunk with breakfast - but this discovery was important for me.

Anyway, the meaty sausages, crispy bacon, eggs, tomatoes and mushroom, along with a plentiful side of toast, were a hearty, filling way to start the day.

You can say what you want about the English. We sure know how to do breakfast.
It may also seem easy to get right but it's difficult to find perfection, and this Reebok breakfast dish certainly gets that.

Reasonably priced at £6.85, it is a classier version of the greasy spoon feed.

And washed down with an orange, strawberry and banana smoothie (£4.50), you've probably had enough calories, protein, fruit and fibre to last you until late in the afternoon.

That smoothie, along with the equally impressive apple, melon, pineapple and grape (£4.70), will make you feel a whole lot better about yourself.

If you are not a fan of the full English, there are plenty of other breakfast dishes to chose from including the Eggs Florentine - poached eggs and spinach - at £6.69, or the Eggs Benedict - the same but with ham instead of spinach - both superb dishes.

With breakfast served between 7am and 11am, you have the option of settling in before start of business or just strolling into the office a little late, but ready for the day.

And don't forget, all this hard work being healthy surely allows for a cheeky espresso or two before you leave.
