Hey my lovelies
Today I decided, I would give you a little look into my
breakfast ideas. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it is one
that is often forgotten about today, with so many of us being so busy in the
morning, we might grab something and go or not have anything at all. Personally
I have only recently started being mindful that I am consciously making time to
eat something however small every day.
These few recipes I have included I love making as they are
quick and very simple, no fluffing about for hours!! The only one that requires a little more time
is the healthy fry up but that one I save for the weekend with hubby.
Overnight Oats
Place 30g of rolled oats into a kilner type jar and cover
just enough with milk. I use semi skimmed milk as I just can’t get use to the
almond milk yet, but I know a lot that use milk alternatives. Give your mixture
a little stir. Sometimes I will add in berries at this stage like strawberries
and blueberries, then add a little sprinkle of seeds. Normally its chia seeds
or one of the multi seeds, a teaspoon is enough for me, but again the amount
you use is personal choice. Normally I
will add more fruit in the morning, and at the minute I am loving pineapple
with the berries.
This is a recipe you can really play around it and depending
on what you have in the fridge or what you fancy they possibilities are
endless.
Omelette
Some mornings I like something warm especially coming into
the colder weather, and I think an omelette is perfect for this. My favourite is just a plain omelette with
some ham and a sprinkle of cheese. I whisk up 2 eggs, a dash of milk, some salt
and pepper, and my ham. Then I get my pan ready and pour in the mix and let it
cook. To cook the top I will put it under the grill for a couple of minutes. I then
add my cheese but you can add the cheese into the egg mix before cooking. Again
the possibilities are endless. If I am having a late breakfast I might add
peppers and onions in to add some texture and get some extra veg. This is a
great way to use up some left over veg to cut down on waste.
Cereal, yoghurt and fruit
This is my go to on lazy days. It’s simple but its filling
and you will get some good nutrients into your body to start the day. I like to
get my little heart bowl out that I got in b and m bargains for a couple of
quid and put 2 to 3 tablespoons of low fat natural yoghurt mixed with 1 teaspoon
of stevia natural sweetener. Then on top I will put whatever fruit I have,
normally it will be pineapple, strawberries grapes or banana. Then I will top
with my cereal, at the moment my cereal of choice is all Bran, but again this
is totally personal to you. Sometimes I will put this layered into a nice
glass. I think a lot of the time if I like the look of it, I will enjoy it more.
Healthy Fry up
I love having this with Mr Preener at the weekend, and it’s
such a healthy alternative to the normal grease laden frys. Normally we use the
Linda McCartney Rosemary and Red Onion sausages; these are so yummy and so much
healthier for you than normal sausages. They taste meaty but have a gorgeous flavour
also. I dry fry all my meat in a ceramic pan. We will have some rashers with
the fat cut off. Then some beans, mushrooms done in a little frylight, hubby
will have tomato and we will finish it with either a toasted pancake or 2
pieces of brown toast.
It really feels like you are having a naughty meal when in
actual fact it’s pretty healthy.
Breakfast Wrap
This is yummy for on the go and filled with the right things
can be really filling and again healthy.
I use one of the wholemeal wraps or the weight watchers ones, and fill
it with 2 of the Linda McCartney sausages cut up, mushrooms, rashers and a wee
taste of your favourite sauce. If I am
having my wrap at home then sometimes I will put some scrambled egg in mine, it’s
gorgeous!
I hope I have given you a little inspiration for some very
quick, easy breakfast ideas. Let me know if you try any.
Love
