Morning Boosts: How to make Breakfast Quick, Easy, and Enjoybable

The first in a series of many morning wake-up boosts to leave you feeling great for the day

With this post I am starting a series of my favourite breakfasts and morning meals that are healthy and energizing. I was never a breakfast person, but I think it might be because I never found foods that I actually enjoyed eating for breakfast.

This is one of my favourite breakfasts; not only is it healthy but the prep time is quick. If you feel you are one of those rushed people in the mornings, do not fear, you can make this the night before including everything but your choice of fruit, which will give the chia seeds and other superfoods time to soak up the nutrients.


Although this is very straight forward and anyone could do it, sometimes you just need to see some inspiration and new ideas, am i right? So here it goes, a simple and healthy morning boost

 Ingredients: 

•  Probiotic Yogurt
•  Chia seeds
•  Hemp seeds
•  “Superfruit” topping … a mix of dried superfood fruits and seeds
• Your choice of fruits - I have chosen mangos, blueberries, and peaches (also depending on what is in season)
•  I would also recommend adding some matcha powder or Açaí powder to the yogurt mix, to add some more flavour and good nutrients!

After mixing it all together, I like to add a little bit of cinnamon to top it off! This is a super quick, easy, and healthy meal to throw together in the morning. To speed the process up, I would suggest preparing for the week by making a little fruit salad so you are not spending time cutting up fruit in the morning. Additionally, you can mix all the seed ingredients together, since they all require the same amount.

Tip: Adding yogurt to fruit actually helps keep the fruit for longer. That way you can meal prep by cutting up a fruit and mix it with yogurt to keep in the fridge. You can add all the seeds and fruits on top of that!
                              

This is a very basic outline for a yogurt boost… change up the seeds, the ingredients that you mix in with the yogurt, or the fruits you use!


                                    

Breakfast is an underestimated meal. As mentioned before, I often did not eat breakfast and waited for snacks or for lunch. With this series I will be posting breakfast foods that are not your traditional eggs and toast. I find these meals easy to make in the morning and I actually enjoy them as well. Breakfast has become something that i look forward to every morning … and looking forward to something every morning is a great way to start your day!
