Breakfast Smoothie

Some mornings (like this morning) everything was rush rush and once i have got breakie for the kids, theres no time to make/eat my own! Well this is what i have on those type of mornings :)

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of oats
1/2 cup of low fat milk or almond milk (i used homemade almond milk, recipe HERE)
1/2 a banana
1 cup of frozen berries
1 teaspoon of coconut oil
2 tablespoons of greek yoghurt
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
Agave/sweetener, optional
2 scoops of protein powder, optional

Method:
Pop everything in blender and mix! Has a lovely thick consistency, is great! Add more liquid if you want it thinner

 

Clean Pancakes

Again,. you heard right. CLEAN pancakes! :) These are great to have with the kids on a Sunday morning, this batch will make around 10 pancakes, so half quantities if making for less people.

Ingredients:
2 cups of wholemeal flour
1 cup of organic oats (i pulsed in blender for around 20 secs)
2 tablespoons of baking powder
Sprinkle of cinnamon
2 cups of low fat milk/almond milk
1/4 cup of olive/coconut oil
2 tablespoons of agave
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
2 eggs, whisked
1 mashed banana (optional)
2 scoops of protein powder for adults batch if wanted
Topping will depend on what you feel like on the morning! Drizzle of agave, warmed up berries, fresh berries, drizzle of chocolate (use THIS recipe, but halve/quarter the amount, and obviously dont freeze it :p) chopped up bananas ect

Method:
1. Combine dry ingredients in one bowl and wet in another. Then add wet ingredients to dry and carefully mix.

2. Heat up fry pan with a little bit of olive oil/organic butter. Spoon batter in and flip when bubbles start forming. Cook for another 30-60 seconds and transfer to plate
3. Add toppings of choice. I used warmed up berries for the kids and warmed up berries AND chocolate for mine, lets just say i only ate 2 because it was so filling and rich! May just use a small drizzle of agave next time lol. ENJOY your Sunday xx

Overnight Oats

If you haven't tried overnight oats, you MUST! :) They are so creamy, and since the oats have overnight to soak up all the liquid, your tummy digests them easier.

Ingredients
1 cup of organic oats
1 cup of water/low fat milk/almond milk - whichever you choose is up to you; i use milk but if you are trying to cut back/lose weight, use water :)
3 tablespoons of greek yoghurt
A handful of berries of your choice, frozen or fresh is up to you, i use frozen mixed berries
Half a banana, chopped (you could use a full banana but i find it overpowers everything too much)
A tablespoon of chia seeds
1 sachet/teaspoon of Stevia (optional)

Method:
1. Place all ingredients apart from chia seeds and Stevia in a clean glass jar. Put on lid, shake a little and put in the fridge overnight (or around 12 hours)

2.  In the morning/after 12 hours, spoon into bowl and mix together well. Sprinkle chia seeds and Stevia over the top and put in microwave for around 1 min 30 secs or until warm. You could also eat this cold, but i find it tastes better warmed up, and lovely on these cold winter mornings :)
