Fruity toast for breakfast

My toast has almond butter, banana, cinnamon, blueberries,
goji berries and pumpkin seeds.

We all enjoy toast for breakfast, but we are usually in such a rush, or too lazy to make it fun, tasty, and to be quite honest, filling.

Try out this fruity toast which has a balance of the macronutrients we need to provide us energy! These macronutrients are fats, protein, carbohydrates and amino acids.

After toasting your bread (I recommend bread that has no preservatives or fake ingredients), the extra steps to make this fruity toast takes less than two minutes. And the best part, you can use any combination of ingredients you have in your kitchen so you don't have to buy each listed below! Best news ever!

To complement this breakfast, a green 

smoothie will round it out leaving you full

for hours! 

Vegan Chia Pudding

Looking for a fun breakfast, that does not consist of grains? The this vegan, paleo, chia pudding is for you. Very easy to make and can be prepared the night before.

Ingredients
1-2 tbs chia seeds

1/4 cup almond milk
1 banana mashed with a fork
1 tbs cinnamon
1 tbs vanilla extra
1 tbs raw cacoa nibs (optional)
Fresh fruit





Directions
1) Mix all ingredients except fresh fruit the night before and allow to set overnight in the fridge. 

2) Fresh fruit can be added before serving. 

3) Keep in mind the banana browns but it does not alter the taste. You can always mix the banana in before serving instead of the night before. The chia seeds will plump up either way because it will be soaking in the almond milk.

Eat this as breakfast, or as a dessert. This is a great way to get in Omega 3's, protein, and tons of vitamins and minerals. See why Chia Seeds are so good here. 

Oatmeal 2.0

I work in an office with many people, and I get to see what a lot of them eat for breakfast. One of the main things that I see is oatmeal. It is usually the instant packs of oatmeal which are cooked with boiling water, or in the microwave, and either eaten with fruit, or eaten plain. As a child I was not an oatmeal lover and it was not until last year I realized why…my oatmeal was just plain old BORING! I learned of this oatmeal recipe from one of my favourite nutritionistas Megan Telpner last year when I did a 9 day cleanse. I have used this recipe and morphed it into something I like to call Oatmeal 2.0. The toppings will change on a regular basis, but the base is pretty much the same. Do NOT use instant oats and make bigger batches so you have this tasty dish on hand for a few breakfasts. Don’t be afraid to play around with the dried fruits, seeds, and nuts used. Use what you have at home, and it will all come together.
