Rise and Shine Breakfast Recipes

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.
