I've been thinking about Breakfast a lot lately, how to make it nourishing, simple and quick. It's the most important meal of the day, yet so many of us feel that we don't have enough time in the morning to make it a nutritious and nourishing part of our routine. I've got some quick, nourishing and delicious recipes today that will help you combat this problem! These recipes are so easy that you can't use the excuse of time or complication. Let's go!
  • Gluten Free Bircher

    2/3 cup quinoa flakes
    1 cup almond milk
    2 tbsp. chia seeds
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp ginger powder


    Mix together and allow to soak in the fridge over night. You can add more milk as needed. In the morning, top with fresh berries and some coconut or dairy yogurt. Yum!

    Yousli – go to yousli.com.au and create your own healthy muesli blend, or purchase one of their delicious pre made mixes.  Delivery is usually between 1 and 3 working days.

     
    Other healthy muesli options include:

    Byron Bay Macadamia Muesli

    Kapai Puku Muesli Blend

    Mojo’s Muesli blend 

    Forage Muesli

    You can purchase these from your local health food store or wholefood retail (Bendigo Wholefoods for Bendigonians). Serve with yogurt and fresh fruit, or a non.dairy milk of your choice. 

     

    Overnight oats:

    This is another sensationally easy breakfast to prepare the night before.


    1/3 cup rolled oats
    2 tbsp. chia seeds
    2/3 cup almond milk
  • 1tbsp coconut flakes
  • cinnamon or nutmeg
  • splash vanilla essence



Mix all the ingredients together and leave in the fridge overnight. In the morning you can eat as is, or top it with fresh fruit (banana, berries, kiwi etc) and some yogurt. Delish, and also a great snack idea to take to work!



Sprouted Bread

This breakfast option is very filling and filled with protein. You can find sprouted breads in the fridge at your health food store or wholefood outlet (Bendigo Wholefoods)

Top 1 thick slice of sprouted bread with Avocado, hommus and some tomato slices. Squeeze lemon over the top and finish with some pepper and himilayan sea salt. Simple, quick and delicious.

Sprouted bread can also be toasted if you prefer.

 

Quick pancakes

If you’re having a pancake kind of morning, this recipe is simple, quick and yum

  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 1 cup oat milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. coconut flakes
  • Splash of Vanilla essence


  •  Mix all the ingredients together, and cook in a preheated pan. These pancakes will take slightly longer than traditional ones to cook, and they won’t bubble as much.

    Top with fresh fruit and real maple syrup.


    Easy eggs

    Some people like to start the day with eggs as a high protein and nutritious breakfast option.

    2 free range eggs

    2 tbsp. goats feta

    fresh pepper and Himalayan salt

    Beat the eggs together in a bowl, and add in the feta and salt and pepper. Cook the eggs as a scramble in a preheated pan. This will only take a minute or two. Enjoy as is, or on top of some sourdougy or rye bread. 

    Green Smoothie
If you like something fresh and fruity in the mornings, you can't go past a green smoothie. In a blender place:

  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 tsp vital greens powder
  • 2 tbsp. coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp. chia seeds
  • 1 cup coconut water


    Blend this up for 1 minute, and then enjoy! You can add any fruit or green leaves that you like into your green smoothie. Avocado works nicely to give it a nice creamy consistency too.

    Here's to happy and healthy breakfasts :)

    Love and Light
