Aug 17 Perfectly balanced breakfast bowl

Ingredients

Serves 1-2

Possibly my 3 favourite Bs: Balance, Breakfast and Bowl. Building a balanced breakfast bowl is so much fun and far easier and quicker than it looks. This is how I built this pretty and colourful bowl of yumminess. Most ingredients can be swapped for similar items you will have in your fridge or cupboards, fruits can be changed based on seasonal availabilities and yoghurt can be replaced with your dairy-free option if necessary.

Handful of berries
1/2 banana
150g high protein natural yoghurt or greek yoghurt
2 tablespoons low sugar muesli, homemade granola or just oats
2 tablespoons of seeds (chia, sunflower, pumpkin…)
1 tablespoon of nut butter (almond or cashew are my favourite)

Method

This is how I built this pretty and colourful bowl of yumminess

Greek yoghurt: the base for everything here. Preferably full fat and high in protein. I have tried many but always come back to @fage_uk .Do make sure to go for Greek yoghurt rather than “Greek style” as they are different things.
Berries: I love them! You can blitz some raspberries into the base as well as adding fresh fruits on top. Blueberries as you may have noticed are another favourite of ours. Blackberries when in season.
Banana : because they’re a good source of fibre
Muesli or granola: often homemade on a Sunday as a weekly batch. If not we like the Low Sugar One or the“Berry fix” muesli from Spoon cereals. Delicious and very low in sugar
Seeds: I usually add a spoonful of Chia seeds , sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds and or flaxseed or our recently discovered. Yum and yay milled nuts and seeds is a great easy option.
Nut butter: Absent from this bowl but I often add a good spoonful of homemade almond butter or Pip and nut’s almond or cashew butter on top, especially if this is a pre-workout breakfast.

Enjoy and make it your own!
