7 Healthy Breakfasts to Opt for This Week

Eating a healthy and well balanced meal when you are having a super busy morning, always seems like a long shot. Way more significant matters occupy your mind than the mundane idea of having to pan out a 3 course meal.

In order to resolve a rather stressful morning, we bring you 7 easy- to- make breakfast option, one for each day! All you need is a positive attitude and some creativity!

1) Sprouts for a Motivational Monday

These are very easy to make. All you have to do is make sure you soak a handful of sprouts the night before. Keep some tomatoes and onions with coriander and lime, ready to mix.

Since they aren’t cooked, but just soaked, sprouts retain all their essential minerals and vitamins.

2) Cottage Cheese and Veggie Sandwich for a Toasty Tuesday

Multigrain bread stuffed with your favourite veggies like carrots, onions & capsicum along with some cottage cheese is an ideal hustle-free breakfast option. It gives you the right dose of protein, carbohydrates and dairy. Top it off with a bowl of fresh fruits and you’re all set.

3) GAIA’s Masala Oats – Wellness Wednesday

This breakfast option is nutritious and ready- to-eat anyway! In order to add more fresh zesty flavour and nutrition you can always opt for some chopped onions, carrots, capsicum and peas with a dash of lemon. You can sauté them first before tossing them into the oats.

4) Muesli Crunch French Toast for aTasty Thursday

Rise and shine with a Muesli Crunch French Toast. Dip two multigrain breads into a bowl of whipped egg and coat it on both sides with Muesli. Cook for 2-3 minutes on both sides and serve with Multi-floral Honey a dash of cinnamon and a bowl of fresh fruits. This wonder meal is high in fibre and good calories. It makes for a perfect wholesome breakfast.

Breakfasts In Bed

We know some healthy surprises your Valentine will love, so put on your chef’s hat because we’re going to show you how to craft seven delightful breakfasts in bed.

1. Classics with a twist:

A heart-shaped mold will be your best friend during Valentine’s Week. This handy little tool will come to your rescue if your culinary skills are not up to the mark. Leave him/her a little truffle in a gift box and a little love note and you’re golden.

  • Keep pouring into the center of the cup until your dot is the size you want your heart to be.
  • Drag the milk stream through your dot to create the divot at the top of the heart.
  • Pour a thin stream to the other side of the heart to form the point at the bottom.

2. Coffee art

If you make your Valentine their first cup of coffee every morning, try making a little foam art with these simple steps. You’ll sweep be sure to sweep your sweetheart of his/her feet.

  • Pour your espresso into a wide-mouthed cup and have a pitcher of hot, frothy milk ready to go.
  • We recommend “sinking” some of your milk below the coffee to create a solid foundation to work with. You can do this by pouring from about two-to-three inches above your cup in a thin, slow stream.
  • When the cup is 1/3rd full, rest the pitcher on the side of the cup and increase the amount of milk you’re pouring into the center. You should start to see a little dot in the middle of your latte now.
  • Make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it.
  • Whisk the eggs making sure any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl are mixed in with the egg.
  • Gradually add small quantities of the milk, still whisking. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream.
  • Melt the 50g of butter in a non-stick frying pan.
  • Spoon 2 tbsp of the melted butter into the batter and whisk it in.
  • Add about 2 tbsp of the batter mixture
  • Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife to cook the other side
  • Use a mold/sharp knife to shape your pancakes

3. Heart-shaped pancakes

Say it with pancakes! All you need is a heart shaped mold to give them a personal touch. If you can’t get your hands on that mold, you can even cut out the shapes yourself.

  • Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve
  • Make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it.
  • Whisk the eggs making sure any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl are mixed in with the egg.
  • Gradually add small quantities of the milk, still whisking. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream.
  • Melt the 50gof butter in a non-stick frying pan.
  • Spoon 2 tbsp of the melted butter into the batter and whisk it in.
  • Add about 2 tbsp of the batter mixture
  • Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife to cook the other side
  • Use a mold/sharp knife to shape your pancakes

4. Eggs with toast on Avocado mayo :

This breakfast in bed is as healthy as it gets! The luscious flavours and pretty presentation make it a winner.

  • Blend a pitted avocado with ½ cup of vinegar and the juice of 3 limes
  • For the egg:
    Fry an egg like you always would, place a metal bowl over the egg to cut out the white
  • Plating:
    Toast your bread and cut it into little hearts
