Holà!
How are you?
Today I want to share some of my favourite breakfasts with you. In reality, I often make these breaksfasts when I have class, because they are super hearty and quick to make.
Moreover, there is no refined sugar in them (so the sugar only comes from the fruits). Oh and I was about to forget, they are vegan. I am not (yet) vegan and I don't know if I will ever be completely. Anyways I eat very few animal products and I am trying to reduce my consumption even more, for environmental reasons.
After this description, you will probably think that these breakfasts must taste really bad ( I have the feeling that the word "vegan" scares many people, so if there is not even sugar?!), but it is really not the case. Really, they are all delicious, and if they don't fit perfectly to your taste, once again you can always slightly modify them to make them your favourite!
In fact, here I show you the versions I make the most, because they are my favourite, but the principle is always the same. Therefore, I often vary in my recipes (according to seasons for instance).
In any case, I can advise you to try them all out, to get an idea of what you like and what suits you best. Then, make it your own by personalising it!
Let's get started:
The warm porridge:
Ingredients:
- About 50-60g oat flakes (to adjust)
- 1 tablespoon of raisins
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- some berries
- 1 tablespoon of soy yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of almond butter
- plant-based milk
Preparation:
In a pot, add the oat flakes, the raisins, the cinnamon and cover it all with some plant based milk. Let it cook at low heat until the you like the texture. I like it when it is very thick, so I let it cook until the oat flakes have absorbed all the liquid. Once you have obtained the texture you wished, put the porridge in a bowl, and add the soy yogurt, the almond butter and the berries.
It is a breakfast that I love to make during winter time, because it is super comforting. It takes about 10-15 min to make, depending on the size of the flakes and the amount of milk you add. The smaller the flakes and the less excessive milk, the faster it will go.
The fruits yum:
(Okay I just made this name up, I apologize for the crappy translation :))
Ingredients:
- 1 soy jogurt
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon of wheat germ
- 1 tablespoon of rape oil
- 1 teaspoon of flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon of crushed pumpkin seeds
- 1 fruit
Preparation:
The evening before: Start by smashing the banana in a bowl, using a fork. Add all the other ingredients except for the fruit, mix well. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for the night.
In the morning, chop the fruit of your choice and add it in.
At first glance, given the ingredients, you might think that the tatse won't be very good. But the reality is that the banana's taste covers that of the wheat germ, the rape oil, and even a bit of the soy jogurt. The rest will be delt with by the fruit you add in!
Overnight oatmeal:
I still have to admit that I don't like raw oat flakes as much as I like the cooked ones. Therefore, I came up with a little technique: I cover the taste with cocoa. And then, everything's better!
Ingredients:
- about 60g oat flakes
- 1/2 tablespoon of raisins
- 1/2 tablespoon of pur cocoa
- plant based milk
- 1 banana
Preparation:
The evening before: In a bowl, add the oat flakes with the cocoa, the raisins and half of the banana in slices. Mix it well. Add the plant based milk, a bit more than to cover the rest (the mixture will absorb the milk overnight). Cover the bowl, and let it sit in the fridge for the night.
In the morning, slice in the other half of the banana and a bit of peanut butter if you want.
The texture is not the same as for the porridge. Therefore, you try it out with more or less milk so that the mixture can absorb all of the liquid or not, to see what you prefer.
And voilà! Usually, I switch between the three breakfasts every day, depending on my mood and how much time I have. To be honest, these three recipes are very quick and easy to make, but there are some days where I am particularly lazy. Then, I usually go for the third option!
You can experiment with different fruits in each recipe, to see what you like best in which form. For example, I sometimes cook half of a banana in my porridge, and add the rest on top, instead of berries.
By the way, because I have more time in the morning at the moment, I like to experiment with all sorts of bowls. If you want some ideas, you can go on my Instagram account, where they are all in my highlights stories. This could give you ideas of different toppings or things that you can replace or add in these recipes. Have fun!
I hope that you will try out these recipes. If you do, make sure to tell me about it, or even send me a picture! I will be super happy!!
