Cereal is my greatest guilty pleasure but as most Commercial brands are super high in sugar (even those that try to hide behind their 'healthy' wholegrain labels) I have created a number of go-to delights that never fail to hit the spot but more importantly, fuel my training and keep me functioning through to my next pit stop.
Each of them contain a blend of Complex Carbs, Protein and Fat but more importantly taste A-mazing and without any of the refined sugar the supermarket varieties.
Pre Training
 |
| My go-to before a run - perfect blend of simple and complex carbs |
Post work-out protein porridge
 |
| Perfect following a strength training session as its packed with Protein |
Homemade Granola
 |
| Amazing topped with fresh berries and great for breakfast on-the-move |
Pancakes
 |
| Simply made with Oats, egg white and Banana, these are ready to eat in under 5 mins! The Ultimate Breakfast |
 |
| Avo and Eggs - need I say more? |
The perfect weekend Brunch
 |
| Who says you cant have a clean cooked breakfast?
So there you have it, six of my favourite breakfast ideas. As I train in the mornings, I usually start off with rice cakes and banana, then have a protein shake straight after a run, then one of the above an after. I find this keeps me full through to lunchtime and energized enough for a second pre lunch workout if required. If you would like any of the recipes then leave me a comment and i'll come back to you x

I love the look of the pancakes and the homemade granola! I would love the recipes for both please?! X
ReplyDeleteOf course lovely!
ReplyDeletePancakes - combine 2 tablespoons of oats, 1 banana and 1 egg white (you can also add protien powder here and if you do, add an extra egg white). Split mixture in half and add to frying pan with heated coconut oil - cook for 1-2 mins each side then flip once golden brown. Repeat with the other half of the mixture. Then top with mixed berries, yogurt and whatever else takes your fancy!
Granola
Combine 200g oats with 80g flaked almonds then add your preferred fruit and nuts - I go with dried cranberries, hazelnuts, cashews and pecans. Then add a couple of tablespoons of honey and stir together. Put in the oven at 160 for 10 mins (or until toasted) then stir and put back in for anothe 20 mins, reducing oven temp if needed.
Enjoy! Xx
