I struggle with finding healthier options for breakfast finding it easier to reach for a cereal bar or toasted bread. The problem with that is I have a mid morning crash and crave something sweet. Hopefully today's breakfast will help to stave off cravings until lunchtime.
So, here is my recipe for:
Alternative breakfast #1
Cooked quinoa (keen-wah)
Full fat organic yogurt
Fresh pear, chopped
Pumpkin seeds
Ground cinnamon
Vary the quantities as you wish. I used about 50/50 quinoa/yogurt, half a pear and a sprinkle of seeds and cinnamon.
Sounds delicious and would make a change from my usual porrige with sultanas cooked with it and half a sliced banana and some honey added to serve which does keep me going till lunch time with no elevenses needed or wanted.
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast looks very tasty, Simone. Like you I tend to have toast but I do love a bowl of fruit with yoghurt too:)
ReplyDeleteMy breakfast is usually a banana, it keeps me going until lunch time.

I cannot bring myself to try quinoa - it looks as though it will act like sand in my mouth!
ReplyDeleteI had not thought about quinoa for breakfast I have some in the cupboard so might give this a go - looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt does look delicious Simone! :)

Yummy! Happy weekend Simone! xox
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious Simone! I mostly have fruit, greek yoghurt and honey for breakfast or else I be in the biscuit tin by elevenses :) Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteSounds good, Simone. I do find that protein carries me through the morning so much better than just carbohydrates. Great recipe!! x
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy

Being so fussy with food it's only recently I have tried a savoury quinoa. I would never have thought of using it at breakfast but a great idea to try something different to start the day.
