When it's cold you want a brekkie that will warm you from the inside to keep you energised for the day.
Here's my favourite winter warming breakfasts in a bowl. They are seriously super simple to prepare & scrumptious.
Carrot cake in a bowl
makes 2 small servings
¼ cup buckwheat and amaranth flakes (you can also use oats or quinoa flakes)
2 fresh medjool dates diced (you find these in the cold section of the supermarket or wholefood shop)
½ carrot grated
¼ cup water
¼ cup almond milk (equally as nice with coconut water, regular milk, coconut milk)
1 pinch of cinnamon
1 pinch of nutmeg
4 walnuts or pecans
Cook the oats, dates, cinnamon and nutmeg, with water and your milk choice on the stove for around 2 minutes.
Add the grated carrot (leave a pinchful for later) and cook a further minute.
Place the porridge in a bowl and top it with the rest of the grated carrot and walnuts or pecans.
Porridge with sliced apples, cinnamon and seeds
makes 2 small servings
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup non-dairy milk (I use almond milk)
1 small organic apple or ½ large apple (choose what’s in season) grated
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon of nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, sunflower or pumpkin seeds)
Add oats, almond milk, apple and cinnamon into a saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Cook on the stovetop for 3 minutes.
Serve with chopped nuts or seeds for a little extra protein, essential fatty acids and crunch!
Super simple spiced breakfast bowl
makes 2 servings
1 cup rolled oats ( or you can also use buckwheat flakes, amaranth flakes or quinoa flakes)
1 teaspoon freshly gated ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup strong chai tea (this is what will pimp up the spicy flavour. Use either a chai tea bag or steep your chai tea in a pot for 5 minutes.
1 tablespoon of chopped nuts (macadamia, cashews, almonds or walnuts)
Add oats and spices to a saucepan. Pour in the chai tea and stir well to combine.
Cook on the stovetop for 2 minutes.
Serve with chopped nuts for a little extra protein, essential fatty acids and creaminess!
