breakfast in a bowl

Here are some simple, healthy breakfasts that take no longer than 10 minutes because let’s face it, who can be really bothered with breakfasts specially after a workout as they are packed full of good nutrients - who doesn’t love a colourful bowl of goodness? Here are 3 easy breakfast bowl recipes:

The Smoothie Bowl

Berry Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients:

• 150g Frozen Red Berries (Raspberries, Strawberries)

• 1 Frozen Banana

• 1 TBSP Peanut Butter

  Optional Toppings:

• 1 Strawberry, sliced

• A handful of Blueberries

• A handful of Granola

• 1 TBSP Almond Flakes

Method:

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until it reaches a smooth and thick consistency. If the blender can’t take this amount of liquid you can always add a splash more and fold in the ingredients in the blender in order to blend well.

2. Serve in a bowl and add with any toppings (I added berries, almond flakes and granola).

The Porridge Bowl

Banoffee Salted Caramel Protein Porridge

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup Oats

• 1 Cup Plant Milk

• 1 Scoop Salted Caramel Protein (I used MyProtein Joe Wicks Impact Whey Protein)

• 1 Banana (half sliced, half mashed)

• 1 tsp Ground Turmeric

• 1 tsp Molasses (you can use any natural sweetener such as Jaggery, Dates, Agave Syrup, Maple Syrup)

• Pinch of Sea Salt

  Optional Toppings:

• 1 tsp Nut Butter (I used Peanut Butter)

• 1 Square of Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped

• 2 pieces of Dried Fruit, chopped (I used 2 figs)

• Maple Syrup/Molasses/Honey, to drizzle on top.

Method:

1. Add Oats, Mashed Banana, Turmeric, Plant Milk and Molasses to a small saucepan and mix well well over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes until oats are cooked through (to desired porridge consistency).

2. Take off the heat and add 1 Scoop of the Protein Powder and a dash more of Plant Milk to help combine everything.

3. Pour into a bowl, add the remaining Sliced Banana, add the teaspoon of Nut Butter plus chopped Dried Fruit plus sprinkle the chopped Dark Chocolate and sprinkle with some Sea Salt. Drizzle some Honey on top.

The Yoghurt Bowl

Greek Yoghurt with Granola and Mixed Fruit

Ingredients:

• 3 TBSP Full Fat Greek Yoghurt

• 2 TBSP Jam (I chose Orange Marmalade because it’s just too good!)

• Handful of Berries (Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries are sliced)

• Handful of Granola (You could use any crunchy Cereal too or Muesli)

• 1/2 Kiwi or any other fruit (chopped into small cubes

  Optional toppings:

• Drizzle of Honey (or Molasses/Maple Syrup)

Method:

1. Spoon the Yoghurt into a bowl then stir in 1 TBSP Jam in with a spoon.

2. Add toppings and the rest of the jam on top and serve!
