My top 3 breakfasts

5 / 5 / 17

Bowl food has become an international health food trend and is here to stay due to its health benefits through the use of healthy ingredients and super foods; together with offering adaptability to busy lifestyles.It stimulates all the senses especially the sense of sight and let’s be honest we are all guilty to some degree of eating with our eyes first. This way of presenting and eating healthy food is sustainable as it is easy and quick to put a dish together and the healthy toppings and combinations are endless…it has become MY BREAKFAST OBESSION (yoghurt and acai bowls for summer and oat bowls for winter). I believe this will encourage a healthier lifestyle due to the quick and easy to put together options with healthy staples in your cupboard and fridge that won’t hurt the budget or have you doing tons of washing up dishes. It takes care of majority of the reasons why we don’t tend to eat healthier.

Yoghurt bowl

1 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt

1 tablespoon chia seeds

2 tablespoon granola

Fruit of your choice and edible flowers of choice

Place yoghurt in your bowl and arrange toppings as desired.

Acai smoothie bowl

2 frozen bananas

½ cup almond milk or milk of choice

2 teaspoon acai powder

Toppings of choice I used plums, chia seeds, kiwi, strawberries, cacao nibs, coconut chips and edible flowers.

Blend all ingredients and serve in a bowl. Add toppings of choice.

Oat bowl

½ cup oats

½ cup water

Pinch of pink Himalayan salt

½ cup almond milk or milk of choice

1 tsp flaxseed powder

1 tablespoon toasted coconut chips

1 teaspoon natural jam

1 tablespoon macadamia nut butter

1 tablespoon toasted flaked almonds or

Toppings of choice (fruit, , cacao nibs, chia seeds)

Place oats, water, salt and milk in a saucepan and cook over low heat until oats are cooked. Remove from stove, add flaxseed powder and top with toppings of choice.
