I eat pretty much the same thing for breakfast every other day of the week, but Sunday is the day that I take more time over my food and come up with something a little different.
It’s the day of the week when eating breakfast in bed is 100% acceptable, and enjoying a bowl of something on your lap in front of TV is perfectly fine. If you can’t have a little fun with your breakfast on a Sunday, when can you??
This week I’ve been blinging up my usual soaked-oats breakfast with some delicious fresh toppings.
Here’s a little step-by-step of what I added to my overnight oats to make my healthy breakfast a little more exciting this Sunday morning:
Ingredients
- Organic oats
- Milk, coconut milk or fruit juice
- Natural vanilla
- Natural yoghurt
- Peeled and sliced kiwi
- Sliced strawberries
- Local honey
- Selection of seeds
Step 1: Soak your jumbo oats in milk, almond or coconut milk or even fruit juice for at least an hour, or overnight if you like to plan ahead. If you’re using a milk, you can always stir in a little natural vanilla to make it even more of a treat or add a dollop of natural yoghurt for extra creaminess.
2. Peel and slice a fresh kiwi and layer around the edge of the bowl. I’ve used a Zespri SunGold yellow flesh kiwi to add a different colour to my usual bowl of oats.
3. Slice up plenty of in-season strawberries and add to the bowl beside the kiwis.
4. Drizzle an arc of golden honey around the bowl.
5. Sprinkle on some good-for-you seeds – I’ve chosen some honey seeds from Munchy Seeds for my recipe but you could use any seeds that you like to add a little crunch to the dish.
You may remember that I’ve blogged some other breakfast recipes including my French toast waffles, a healthier breakfast wrap and an on-the-go breakfast smoothie recipe. I also wrote all about how cereal can improve your health earlier this week. So I think you can gather that I place a lot of importance on breakfast!
Sunday is definitely the day of the week to try out something different so let me know what you would do to jazz up your breakfast on the weekends by leaving me a comment below.
