Whether you are a morning person or not, the time between waking up and starting your work/study day is very precious. In an ideal world, I would start the day with 20 minutes of movement and an ocean swim before preparing a healthy breakfast and sitting down to enjoy it. This is a luxury, and often unachievable between getting the girls ready for before-school activities, teaching in the studios or early meetings. On these days (more often than not), I like to prepare a nutritious breakfast the night before, to ensure I am eating a balanced breakfast, even when I am rushing out the door.
Here are my top 3 breakfast recipes you can prepare the night before.
Seed Bread with Avocado
It’s no secret, our beloved Seed Bread recipe is a staple in my house (and our members!). Gluten-free and packed with fibre and protein, this recipe supports your digestion and gut-health. What’s better? It can remain fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days, and tastes delicious topped with anything from cultured butter, banana or honey to avocado with sauerkraut or eggs (when timing permits). My go-to is two slices lightly toasted with half an avocado, a sprinkle of salt and drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Cacao & Berry Overnight Oats
A classic when it comes to meal preparation, these overnight oats combine oats with chia seeds and hemp seeds, for a protein-rich, metabolism-boosting start to your day. Leave overnight to soak and activate, before topping with all your favourites. Try adding peanut butter for some healthy fats, and a combination of in-season fruits.
Savoury Muffins
The perfect Sunday baking recipe for a week of delicious breakfasts or morning tea. These savoury muffins are a great way to incorporate eggs into your breakfast (when you are rushing out the door) plus a healthy dose of vegetables. Serve as they are, or warmed up with a smear of cultured butter or drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
