3 QUICK BREAKFAST RECIPES
How many times have we heard in our lives that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? I remember my mom telling me as a kid about the benefits of breakfast and how it was essential for me so I can grow up. It may be such a cliché but it is also true; breakfast is the most important meal of the day! The reason is that breakfast is the first meal of the day; it is the one that will wake us up and give us the energy we need to go through the day. Sadly though, it is also something we tend to skip quite often because we are in a hurry. However, a healthy and filling breakfast doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming; it can be easy and quick. Below I share with you guys 3 of my favorite and quick breakfast recipes.
Coconut Acai Bowl
Ingredients
2 cups of frozen mixed berries
1/2 banana
½ cup coconut milk (fresh)
1-2 tsp acai berry powder
Toppings
2 tbsp pumpking seeds
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
2 tbsp shredded coconut
½ banana cut in pieces
For this deliciously simple acai berry bowl, place the frozen berries with the milk in your smoothie blender and once they are blended a bit, add the banana and acai berry powder. Do not overblend. Pour the mixture in a bowl and add the toppings.
Chocolate and cinnamon porridge
Ingredients
40 g oats
200 ml any milk of your choice (I use almond milk)
1 tsp organic cacao powder
1 tsp flaxseeds
1-2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp agave syrup or honey
Toppings
3 tsp pumpkin seeds
2 tsp sunflower seeds
I absolutely love how simple this porridge is. Place the oats and milk in a pan on high heat. Once they start boiling add the cacao powder and the cinnamon and lower the heat while stirring. Once it becomes as thick as you like add the flaxseeds and agave syrup and give it a good stir. You can add anything you like on top; I added pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds!
Scrambled eggs and avocado on toast
Ingredients
2 eggs
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 slices of bread of your choice (I used whole wheat)
A pinch of salt, pepper and garlic powder
½ avocado
Another quick and healthy recipe. The eggs and avocado have lots of protein which makes this recipe perfect for after workout or in general in the morning. On a hot pan pour the olive oil and crack the eggs. Toss them around and add the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Keep mixing them and tossing them around while turning the heat down to low. In the meantime, toast the slices of bread. Once the eggs are cooked, place them on the toasted bread. Scoop the avocado and place it on top of the eggs. Add some more salt and voila! Healthy and delicious.
Healthy breakfast doesn’t have to be a time-consuming, complicated task; it could be easy and quick. The above recipes are just some of my favorite ones for the days when I don’t have a lot of time in hand. Fruits, oats, grains, seeds and eggs, are good-for-you ingredients.
