Nutty Sourdough Toast, Over Night Oats, & Strawberry Buddah Bowl
THE HEALTHY WAY TO START YOUR DAY
Welcome to this weeks Sunday Morning post!
Today I am sharing my favorite vegan breakfast and brunch recipes, to give you some inspiration for a healthy but delicious start to your day. When I was really poorly finding nutritious breakfasts that appealed to me was really difficult. This can be the same if you are trying to loose weight, or if you are dashing around on your way to work.
I have come up with ... recipes that are delicious, nourishing and filling and you couldn't even tell they were super healthy-they feel like a naughty treat!
The Science Behind Breakfast
Breakfast means-breaking your fast. This means when you eat breakfast you are telling your bodies metabolism to start burning calories, when you skip this meal your body will begin conserving energy unsure of when its next meal will be, preventing fat loss.
Having this meal means you are kick starting your metabolism, getting in essential nutrients to be used throughout the day and increasing your brains ability to function. Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day, and with these insanely tasty you wont miss it again!
1. Nut Butter on Sourdough
This bread is easier to digest due to long fermentation which reduces phytates that bind to essential nutrients, meaning you get more when you eat this type of bread.
Personally my favorites are peanut butter and Apple and Pumpkin seed and Banana-
What You Will Need:
2 Slices Sourdough
Just pick your favorite nut butter (1 TBSP is the perfect portion) and spread all over sourdough.
Top with your favorite fruit for some added nutrients.
2. BERRY DELICIOUS OVER NIGHT OATS
Oats are a perfect slow release carb, they bind with the sugar in the fruit preventing any nasty sugar spikes keeping you fuller for longer!
For this recipe you will need:
1 or 2 sachets strawberry and banana Quaker oats (substitute for 50g porridge oats if you can get hold of the sachets)
Handful Frozen Berries
Cup of Almond Milk
Simply place all ingredients in a jar, place in the fridge and pick up and eat the next morning! So so simple!
3. Strawberry Buddha Bowl
Berries are an amazing source of anti-oxidents they remove free radicles in the body which damage cells-so its really important to get them in your diet!
What you will need:
- 1.5 cups Frozen berries
- 1 cup Almond Milk
- 25g oats
- seeds
You will need a food processor for this one (I have linked a couple above, I personally use the Kenwood blender and find it amazing-I've had it for 3 years and its still going strong!)
Add the frozen berries almond milk and oats to the food processor. Blitz it up until it is smooth. Pour into a bowl and to with seeds, oats, and berries. I added two little chocolate oat hearts-Recipe coming soon!
