A breakfast bowl is a delicious way to start your day by combining various healthy ingredients in a bowl. Here is a simple recipe idea for a breakfast bowl.
Ingredients:
-
Oats (choose between rolled oats or whole oats based on preference): A good source of fiber and energy.
-
Milk or plant-based milk alternative, possibly yogurt: To pour over the bowl for a creamy consistency.
-
Fruits: For example, berries (blueberries, strawberries), banana slices, or mango for sweetness and vitamins.
-
Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds for crunch and healthy fats.
-
Honey or maple syrup: For a natural sweetness with fewer calories (be mindful of the amount).
Preparation:
-
Prepare the oats: Cook the oats according to the package instructions or pour hot water over them and let them soak, depending on your taste preference.
-
Add yogurt: Spoon a generous amount of yogurt over the oats.
-
Add fruits: Place the desired fruits on top of the bowl.
-
Sprinkle nuts and seeds: Add the nuts and seeds over the bowl.
-
Sweeten: Drizzle a small amount of honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup over the ingredients.
-
Add milk: Pour milk or a plant-based milk alternative (unsweetened almond milk is ideal) over the bowl.
Variations:
-
Protein boost: Add chia seeds, Greek yogurt, or nut butter for extra protein.
-
Spices: Sprinkle cinnamon or vanilla over the bowl for added flavor.
-
Grain alternatives: Use quinoa or buckwheat instead of oats (all of these are gluten-free alternatives).
-
Dried fruits: Add dried fruits like raisins, dates, or cranberries (great if you have a busy workday or an athletic activity ahead).
