Healthy Breakfast Idea

I'm a healthy eater by nature. I enjoy the awesome things good and healthy food can do for our bodies. Being vegetarian and lactose intolerant means I have to find creative ways to get iron, calcium etc. into my system. I like the challenge as it makes my food interesting, colourful and filled with vitamins and antioxidants from things I never knew contained them.

 

I have a quick breakfast recipe to share. It is specific to my needs so feel free to add in normal milk or yoghurt - cause I definitely would if I could! The amounts are adjusted to the size of bowl you have and how hungry you are!

 

You will need:

 

 

Cereal (of choice), Almond Milk, Banana, Sliced Raw Almonds,

Mixed Berries (frozen or fresh), Crunchy Oat Bar (of choice)

 

 

You will need to:

 

Place a small amount of cereal in the corner of your bowl. I used Hubbards Light & Right in the flavour Fejoia, Apple and Honey. Then chop up as much banana as you need and place that in a crescent shape around the cereal. You will end up continuing this shape through the whole dish. I chose now to pour my Almond Milk over the cereal, the banana acts as a general barrier although some may leak through. Take the sliced almonds and place these around the banana. Then do the same with the mixed berries - mine were frozen. Then take the Oat Bar, mine was Nature Valley's Crunchy Apple Crisp bar and grind it down into tiny pieces. Sprinkle this around the berries, continuing the crescent shape. That is your last layer.

 

 

This breakfast is delicious, healthy, quick and full of texture and flavour. If you want to add or remove items it will still work as it's so versatile. Eat as is or mix it all together. Drizzle a bit of honey over the top if you're feeling cheeky or replace cereal with yoghurt.

 

Fruit, nuts, grains and a whole slew of beneficial natural goodness;

what a way to start the day!
