Mornings can be difficult for many people, especially those nighttime people. This is why you need a tasty, quick and delicious breakfast not only to give you all the nutrients that you need for the morning and day ahead but to give you that motivation to get out of bed and start your day.
Many fall into the trap of eating a slice of toast in the mornings whilst they rush out the door, or even skipping out on breakfast completely. But as you will find out, this is not substantial enough to get you through the rest of the day, hitting that dreaded afternoon crash before lunch. However, through a bit of help from this guide and a little bit of meal prep and help from McQueens Dairies, you can make mornings more exciting and energy-filled.
So, without further ado, if you would like to boost your mornings, here are 3 different but delicious breakfast bowls for you to try out at home!
1. Açia bowls
A newer and trendier addition to the breakfast bowl community is the delicious açia bowl. Originating in Brazil, açia is a thick, smoothie-like substance packed with nutrients from small grape sized berried in the Amazon rain forest. Not only is acai great for you as it contains antioxidants that can reduce swelling and lower blood sugar levels, but it also tastes great too. Many chefs also pair their acia with super foods such as blueberries, as well as peanut butter for some texture and granola for a bit of bite. The best thing about acia bowls is the endless combinations that you can create to match your personal tastes. Those who like something sweeter can add Nutella; where, while those who are more health-focused can pack their bowl full of nuts and berries.
2. Yoghurt bowls
For those who like to meal prep their breakfast, yoghurt bowls are an easy way to take their lunch to work. As the main ingredients, such as yoghurt, seed granola and any fresh fruit and chia seeds, these are widely accessible and quick to throw together, and keep in the fridge ready for the mornings. Try to resist the temptation to throw some honey or Nutella in the mix, as most gronals are sweet enough, especially combined with the fruit. Need to top up on superfoods and anything that can add texture to the bowl to keep it interesting and full of nutrition.
3. Winter musil
For those colder day where a cold breakfast bowl is far from what you need to keep you feeling warm, muesli is essential. To activate this breakfast, all you need are some oats, raisins, walnuts, dates and milk. To make life easier, in winter and ensure that you are always topped up with milk, using a local milk delivery service is essential, as there’s nothing worse than getting out of bed and realising that there’s no milk for your breakfast. Meal prepping the essentials so you can just wake up and pour in milk is the best part of this recipe to make it efficient and delicious.
