3 delicious (and healthy) breakfast-in-a-bowl recipes to try this week

Looking for something healthy to try?

But fear not, a healthy breakfast does not mean you have to settle for watery porridge or plain hard boiled eggs. Oh no. Breakfasts have come a long way since those dark days. We are currently loving the bowl trend when it comes to our brekkie. And if you are in need of some inspiration, here are three of our current favourite ways to enjoy breakfast in a bowl:

1. Coconut Banana Oats with Crunchy Black Sesame Quinoa Cereal and Mango

It’s sort of like granola, but a little less calorific per cup, and crazy crunchy and delicious.

Ingredients

• • Coconut Banana Oat Smoothie
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 cup coconut milk, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • half of a medium banana
  • Crunchy Black Sesame Quinoa Cereal
  • 3 1/4 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup whole almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup whole cashews, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup black sesame seeds (may use white if needed)
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional)
  • good pinch of salt
  • Topping
  • half a mango, chopped or sliced
  • 1 ounce dark chocolate, chopped
  • fresh mint leaves
  • Coconut butter, melted for drizzling
  • unsweetened coconut flakes

2. Oatmeal Quinoa Power Bowl

This is SO good you'll totally forget it's really healthy!

(Recipe serves 4)

Ingredients

• 3/4 cups steel cut oats
• 1/4 cups quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup vanilla almond milk
• kosher salt
• toppings: pomegranate seeds, sliced banana, pumpkin seeds, toasted walnuts, coconut flakes, almond milk or cream, maple syrup, cinnamon

Instructions

Rinse the quinoa and oats in a mesh strainer. Shake out excess water, and place in a small saucepan. Add water, almond milk, and a generous sprinkling of sea salt to saucepan. Bring to a boil, uncovered. Once boiling, immediately reduce heat to low and cover partially. Let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure quinoa and oats aren’t sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. Divide between four bowls, and add desired toppings in pretty rows. Eat!
