Healthy, delicious and easy – 5x Breakfast

 

Healthy, delicious and easy breakfast! I can not claim all the credits for these recipes. Not that I want that, I just want to share some meals that make me happy. Some ideas are mine some are inspired by other recipes with my own touch to it.

If it comes to cooking I can’t say that I hate it but sometimes I just don’t feel like it. Takes up too much time, too much energy etc.
Healthy eating is easier for me if I know some quick meals that I love. If I don’t feel like cooking I make something like these easy recipes instead of running to a take-away-place and getting fast food.
Here I share my quick and healthy breakfast so nobody has an excuse anymore of not starting your day with a healthy and delicious breakfast every morning.

 

Vary with breakfast
Some people like having the same breakfast every morning, for years. Well, that’s not me. I like to vary. Cold days I like a warm breakfast, summer days I go for a smoothie.
Even when travelling, a lot of these meals are possible. Last few months when I lived in Portugal there was a hand-held blender in the hostel and I made myself a breakfast smoothie every day!

 

Breakfast smoothie

  • 1 cup of yoghurt
  • 1 banana
  • A few strawberries
  • Half an orange (I save the other half for the next morning or as a snack later in the day)
  • 2-3 hands of oats
  •  

    Optional you can add:

  • 1 tsp of ground flaxseeds
  • 1 tsp of chia seeds
  •  

    Place the oats in a small bowl and place hot water over them till all the oats are covered. Clean all the fruit and place it in the blender, add the yoghurt (and the seeds). Last you pour the soaked oats over it. Close the blender and mix everything together.

    There is your delicious breakfast smoothie with a lot of vitamins and fibers.

    Banana-egg pancakes
     

  • Medium or large banana
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • A little bit of butter to cook them in
  •  
    Blend the banana and the eggs together with most of the cinnamon. Melt the butter in a frying pan and pour some batter in the pan, small rounds goes better since the batter is not really firm. Otherwise turning them is difficult.

    In the end, sprinkle the last bit of cinnamon on your finished pancakes.
    Now dig in!

    Toast with avocado and scrambled eggs
     

  • 1 slice of toast
  • Half an avocado
  • 1 or 2 eggs
  •  
    I like the easy way of making scrambled eggs so this is how I do it. Heat a little bit of butter in your frying pan. Break the eggs and pour them in the pan and with your spatula, you start to scramble them. (I don’t whisk the eggs before I place them in the pan). Add a bit of salt and pepper if you like. In the meantime toast the bread and slice the avocado.
    Place the avocado on the toast and add your eggs on top if they are finished.

    Some fibre, healthy fats and protein for a good start of the day.

    Porridge with milk and pureed banana
     

  • Ground whole grain cereal (mine is ground wheat flakes and wheat bran)
  • One and a half glas of milk
  • One banana
  •  
    First of all; heat the milk (I prefer to do this on the stove). Meanwhile, blend the banana (I usually do this with a handheld blender because it gets way smoother, but you can also smash it with a fork).
    When it is quite warm add the cereals, mix it through the milk with a fork or a whisk and keep adding until you are happy how thick it is. I prefer a little bit thicker than yoghurt.
    Stir the banana through your porridge and it is ready to eat.

    The banana gives some extra vitamines, some potassium (which I’ve been told, reduces the risk of heart disease) and magnesium. And, most important maybe, it gives a natural sweetness to your porridge what for me makes that I love this so much!

    Magnesium is good for al lot of things in our body for example; the making of bones and muscles, it is needed to give all body cells sufficient energy and it contributes to the recovery process of your body after exercise.

    Yogurt with fruit and seeds
     

  • A bowl of yoghurt
  • Some fruits, you can vary what you like. I prefer this combination of orange, strawberries and banana.
  • 1 tsp of ground flax seeds
  • Dried mulberries
  •  
    Optional you can add:

  • 1 tsp of chia seeds
  • Unsalted nuts
  • Other dried fruits
  •  

    Well this is easy. Cut the fruits and add it all to your yoghurt and start eating.

    Your easy start of the day with some calcium, vitamin b (from the yoghurt), several vitamins from the fruits, some antioxidants, some potassium, magnesium, fibres and more. Well sounds like a good start right?!
