One of the biggest things I’ve learnt over the last few months is the importance of having a good breakfast every day. It kickstarts your metabolism after 12 hours of not eating, it wakes your brain up and it gives you the energy to get through the morning. I can’t function without breakfast these days!
Here are 4 of my favourite recipes, all under 350 calories…
1) Bircher Muesli
– 50g gluten free oats
– 1 x grated apple
– Splash of apple juice
– ½ cup fat-free natural yogurt
– Fruit to serve
Mix the oats, grated apple, apple juice and yogurt together in a bowl, cover and place in the fridge overnight. In the morning add whatever fruit you prefer and serve.
2) Simple Fruity Oats
– 25g gluten free oats
– ½ cup fat-free natural yogurt
– ½ grapefruit (or 1 cup of the fruit of your choice)
Mix together all of the ingredients and devour.
3) Quick Berry Oatmeal
– 25g gluten free oats
– ½ cup frozen berries
– Teaspoon of cinnamon
– Teaspoon of agave syrup (to serve)
Mix the oats, berries and cinnamon together with enough water to make the mixture runny. Microwave for 1:30, squeeze on the agave syrup and enjoy.
4) 3 Ingredient Pancakes
– 1 x ripe banana
– 2 x medium eggs
– ¼ cup berries
– Teaspoon of cinnamon (to serve)
– Teaspoon of agave syrup (to serve)
– 2 x rashers turkey bacon
Mix the banana and eggs into a lumpy batter and stir in the berries. Cook like a normal pancake in a greased pan (I use 1 cal olive oil spray), flipping only when the top side starts to cook as well. At the same time grill the turkey bacon. Serve sprinkled with cinnamon and agave syrup.
