Breakfast Love

February 5, 2015

Breakfast is without a doubt my favourite meal! Today the team at work put on a belated work breakfast for me, so I was under instructions not to eat any breakfast before I came in. This was a challenge for me, I spent the first half an hour at work with a rumbling stomach and nothing but food on my mind!

I will often train early in a morning before breakfast, on these days I like to have a breakfast that I have prepared the night before sat in the fridge waiting for me. This is great if I am in a rush, but also so I can get my nutrients in straight after a tough training session!

Here are two of my Favourite pre-prepped breakfasts:

Over night oats

1 cup of oats (50g)

1 grated apple

1 ts cinnamon

1 cup frozen berries

2 cups coconut milk

Leave over night in the fridge and enjoy cold the next morning, this is one of my favourite breakfasts!

Chia pudding

Chia seeds are full of omega 3, antioxidants and fibre, making them a great start to the day.. the texture once they have set overnight in the fridge is delicious!

4 tbs chia seeds

1 frozen banana

1 medijool date

1 cup frozen berries

2 cups coconut milk

1 tbs desecated coconut

To make the chia pudding, simply mix the seeds, milk, coconut and chopped dates. I like to blend the frozen fruit into a think smoothie, and layer it onto the chia pudding, but it is also just as delicious to mix it all up together or have it without the fruit frozen or blended.

These are my favourite breakfast’s to make in the morning:

Hot banana oats

This is a very simple breakfast that you can never go wrong with, I tend to eat a lot more cooked oats in the winter time!

1 cup oats (50g)

1 banana

1 tbs cinnamon

handful of berries (optional)

1 cup almond milk

1 tbs nut butter (I like to use almond)

I think microwaving oats ruins them! I would defiantly suggest cooking the oats in a pan, simply mix it all up together and add the nut butter before eating!
