Healthy as can Be!! BREAKFASTS

For people who want to change their life style from junk food to Health Muncher with minimal effort.
The nice thing about all these recipes is that I usually only use what I have left in the fridge, fruit bowl and/or last nights dinner so no great planning is ever needed!!

BREAKFASTS: One for each day of the week!
1) Fresh fruit and granola

Any fruit combination works!
My two favourite though are:
a) Mixture of melon and pineapple
or
b) Grapes, strawberries, peach, apple and banana.

I chop up the fruit and top with two table spoons of natural yoghurt and one packet of Nature Valley Granola Bars (Maple syrup is my favourite one) to sweeten the natural yoghurt :)





2) Strawberry Smoothie
Makes (2-3)
1 punnet of srawberries
1/2 punnet of raspberries
blueberries/blackberries optional
3/4 tub of frozen yoghurt (natural yoghurt and ice if cutting down on your calories)
1/2 glass of fresh orange juice

Mix all in a blender until smooth.

NOTE: I like to add more frozen yoghurt to create a thicker consistency which I pour into a glass and top with special K as a refreshing cold breakfast during summer.

3) Smoothie in a BOWL

1 homemade smoothie (See above)

Fresh fruit and cereal for topping

Today, I used:
Half banana
Handful of raspberries
half apple
half small peach
Handful of special k or oats or granola for crunch

1. Pour smoothie into bowl and top with fresh fruit and cereal.
   
   

HINT: Cutting fruit while smoothie is blitzing saves time!

Also if you change your mind half way through about the whole smoothie in a bowl, just use a few table spoons of the smoothie as yoghurt and drink the rest!

4) Fresh fruit and Yoghurt

My favourite is chopped peach and strawberry yoghurt (usually Dr. Oetker or activia)
Some times I arrange it in layers around porridge oats for extra FUEL in the mornings on exam days!

5) Boiled Eggs (great for your Omegas, B vitamins and Protein)

Boil two eggs per person in hot water over a hot ring.
I like mine hard boiled so I put them into boiling water and boil them on a hot temperature for 12 minutes :)
For soft boiled about 7 minutes.

Avoid adding salt and or toast once you dig in!

6) I'm in a hurry- Brown toast and orange juice

2-3 Oranges
1 brown roll/sliced brown bread

While your bread is toasting, squeeze your oranges for fresh orange juice,
I enjoy laughing cow cheese or Philadelphia cream cheese on mine! Not too much though, it's a topping not a meal itself!

7) Over Night Oats
Great for people who aren't so energetic and up for making breakfast in the morning.

3/4 -1 Cup of porridge oats

1 1/2 Cups of Milk (I like to use almond milk)
Chopped nuts (almonds work well)
1 Tbsp mixed seeds
5-8 Raspberries

The night before, let the oats sit in the milk and cover and put into the fridge.
In the morning sprinkle the seeds, nuts and raspberries over and enjoy!

NOTE: Sometimes I like this as a mid-morning snack between breakfast and lunch and I eat it the same but with a teaspoon of Nutella in the middle, it makes it feel like a treat.
