I know there are a lot of people out there who don’t eat breakfast, but for me though, breakfast is ESSENTIAL. Not because “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” - breakfast just happens to be my FAVOURITE meal, which is why I’d never skip it (not all my food decisions are based on nutrition alone 😉).
I love getting creative with my breakfasts, and generally try to have a variety of different options across the week (depending on how much time I have, and what we have on hand at home).
I always try to include plenty of plants for gut-healthy fibre, nutrients, and colour, so usually some kind of fruit or berries, nuts or nut butter, seeds, whole grains, and sometimes a fermented food like yoghurt.
My go-to when I’m in a rush is peanut butter (always crunchy!) with banana and cinnamon on wholegrain bread. Here are a few of my other favourites:
• Smoothie bowls (usually with berries, sometimes avocado, and topped with nuts/nut butter and seeds)
• Greek yoghurt and fruit or berries with homemade granola
• Wholegrain toast with avocado and eggs, sprinkled with seeds (or dukkah if I have some on hand)
• Chia and oat pudding with homemade berry jam
• Wholegrain toast with Greek yoghurt, topped with fruit or berries and cinnamon
• Banana pancakes (our Sunday family tradition 💕). Most often they’re just banana, egg, cinnamon and wholemeal flour, but sometimes I add in spinach for “dinosaur pancakes”, or beetroot for pink pancakes.
I’m always keen to try new breakfast ideas. Let me know your favourite below! 👇🏼
