Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Looking for healthy breakfast ideas, then you're in the right place! Here's a list of my favourite recipes to enjoy for breakfast. They're healthy and can easily be adjusted to your likes and dietary requirements. Most are high in protein, some are vegan/dairy-free and gluten-free. We’ve all heard it before: “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” But in today’s fast-paced world, it’s also the most commonly skipped meal. Between hitting snooze, rushing out the door, or diving straight into work, many of us settle for a coffee and call it good. Yet, science consistently shows that a balanced, nutritious breakfast sets the tone for your entire day - physically, mentally, and even emotionally. Not everyone is a [...]

Scrambled Oats Recipe

Scrambled Oats Recipe

If you're bored of your morning bowl of porridge or plate of scrambled eggs, why not mix the two together and try making this scrambled oats recipe. You get the best of both worlds - the taste of your sweet bowl of porridge oats with the texture of scrambled eggs. A hearty and satisfying breakfast that's ready in minutes. I only recently came across the concept of "Scrambled oats". It's a creative twist on traditional oatmeal/porridge, blending the consistency of scrambled eggs with the hearty texture of oats. It's a dish where oats are cooked in a way that makes them resemble scrambled eggs in texture. Why I love making this scrambled oats recipe: I'm usually a sweet breakfast kind [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Baked Chocolate Oats

Vegan Gluten-free Baked Chocolate Oats

A delicious breakfast that tastes like a dessert! This vegan gluten-free baked chocolate oats recipe is perfect to enjoy on a chilled cold weekend day. * This post is sponsored by FREEE* I'm a huge fan of oats for breakfast in general, but during the colder months, nothing beats a bowl of baked warm oats straight out of the oven! Oats are a great source of fibre, vitamins (such as B vitamins), and minerals (like manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium). Baking them into a dish can help you make the most of these nutrients. They're also a complex carbohydrate, which means they release energy slowly + will help regulate your blood sugar levels. This will help to keep you full and [...]

Mocha Buckwheat Pudding (Vegan | GF | High Protein)

Delicious, super smooth and chocolaty - this mocha buckwheat pudding can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack or a healthy dessert! Breakfast is my most favourite meal of the day by far! I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I could I would eat breakfast foods for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. I wake up looking forward to it, so I wanted to share with you my current favourite breakfast that's easy to make, balanced and tastes so good. A lot of people seem to struggle with breakfast ideas, especially breakfasts that are healthy with good amounts of protein, fibre and healthy fats. I recently rediscovered buckwheat pudding, which I hadn't had since making this blueberry buckwheat pudding. It's [...]

Vegan Baklava Porridge

Vegan Baklava Porridge

A creamy porridge recipe that tastes like a dessert! This vegan baklava porridge is my favourite porridge recipe of all time. Getting out of bed in the mornings when it's cold and dark is a challenge. What helps me is knowing I'm going to eat something delicious for breakfast. A bowl of warming porridge. I often say that eating soup is like giving your belly a big warm hug. I also think that porridge is the breakfast equivalent to soup. Nourishing, delicious and so cosy. If you've never had the pleasure of trying baklava before and you're wondering what it is - it's a Middle Eastern dessert made with a sweet flakey pastry, nuts and lots of syrup or honey. [...]

Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Pudding

Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Pudding

*This post is sponsored by Bulk Powders* Silky, smooth and satisfying breakfast with added protein. This Peanut Butter protein breakfast pudding tastes more like a dessert, but it's packed with fibre, healthy fats and protein. I love adding protein to my breakfast as it prevents sugar slumps. I used to get the worst sugar crashes. That jittery feeling a couple of hours after breakfast that leaves me feeling irritable, on edge and unable to concentrate. I still get those crashes if I don't eat a well balanced breakfast with protein and fat. Simple carb rich breakfasts low in fat and protein just don't suit me well at all! And so far what I've seen in the clinics I've observed as well [...]

Buckwheat ‘Rice’ Pudding

Buckwheat ‘Rice’ Pudding

This buckwheat 'rice' pudding is a healthier take on the original rice pudding. You can enjoy it as a hearty breakfast, lighter dessert or even as a snack. Now that the weather is getting colder, we're all craving warming and comforting foods. Warming bowls like this buckwheat pudding is just what I need to get me out of bed on a cold, dark morning. Spiced with cinnamon, cardamom and ginger making it perfect for autumn and winter months. I used light coconut milk and oat milk to make it lighter since I like eating it for breakfast. You can use full fat coconut milk if you want a creamier, richer texture. You can top it with whatever you fancy, but [...]
