Nutritious and delicious: 3 winter breakfast ideas to start your day right
Clementine granola and yogurt pot
This fruity recipe is an easy to make balanced breakfast. Full of healthy fats, protein, vitamin C, minerals and antioxidants. You can make the night before and store it in the fridge, this will create an overnight oats consistency. Delicious.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 clementine
1 pomegranate (seeds and juice removed)
2 cups high protein granola recipe
2 cups of full fat Greek yogurt
175g tinned clementines in juice
Method
Split the ingredients in half and divide between the two glasses.
Begin by adding half the yogurt to the glasses.
Top with a good layer of granola.
Top with half of the clementines in juice.
Add the other half of the yogurt.
Top the yogurt with clementine segments, pomegranate seeds and juice, and 1 tbsp of the ground seeds.
Fried egg with celeriac “chips”
This “egg ‘n’ chips” is a wonderful brunch dish. Celeriac chips are a super alternative to white potato chips with vitamin K, C B6, phosphorous, manganese, and fibre.
Celeriac chips recipe
Ingredients
1 large celeriac peeled and sliced into chip shapes
Olive oil
Seasoning
Method
Preheat the oven to 180c.
Place the celeriac onto a baking sheet. Toss in a good drizzle of olive oil, and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Bake for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Scrambled eggs with sauteed brussel sprout tops and homemade pesto
Sprout tops are a great addition to your morning scrambled eggs in winter. They are high in glucosinolate compounds. These compounds help the body to detoxify. These nutrient dense tops are full of nutrients, including vitamin K, calcium and vitamin C. If you have a delicate digestive system or aren’t used to the fibre content of these sprout tops go easy with them. To top my scrambled eggs and sprouts I like to drizzle my favourite pesto recipe for an added nutritional punch. You can vary the leafy greens used and use either spinach, rocket, watercress, or kale depending on the freshness for the season.
Whatever your choice of breakfast make sure to add a good portion of protein, make it balanced and include plenty of fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants so you can start your day the right way with plenty of cofactors for an energy fuelled and glow-worthy day.
