Health to go Breakfast………….

If your first meal of the day means a rushed piece of cold toast and jam wolfed down with a slug of lukewarm coffee then it could be time for a change …..  Kick start the week with a super clean and simple breakfast that will save you time and help the whole family beat the morning blues and keep you feeling energized throughout the morning.

Soaked oats will give you low GI slow release energy and are great if you are exercising later in the morning and add chia seeds to pack a big punch ! Coveted by the Aztecs for their energy producing powers they are a great way to add nutrition to your breakfast. Chia seeds are a great source of age fighting anti-oxidants, bone strengthening calcium and body-cleansing fibre and there’s no need to grind them just toss them in whole.

If mornings are hectic with the kids this is a perfect health to go breakfast that can be eaten by them even in the car on the way to school and they will love choosing their own fruit and toppings.

RECIPE
Combine 40g of oats and 1 tbsp. of chia seeds and any seasonal fruit (berries are best) with enough almond milk to cover. Stir well and leave to soak in the fridge overnight. Then in the morning, just add your favourite toppings – we love using agave syrup and nuts for a bowl full of pure goodness!
