Perhaps because the snooze button has been hit one too many times or that the last thing you want to do in the morning is make food – try these super simple healthy breakfast swaps for making breakfasts do-able, easy and can be taken on-the go. 

5 Simple Healthy Breakfast Swaps to try in 2017:

1. Replace Butter and mayo with Avocado – on everything

Adding healthy (filling) fats to your breakfast aid in keeping you feeling fuller for longer, but more importantly keeping mid morning and late afternoon munchies at bay.

2. Chia pudding over Porridge or Processed Yoghurt

Chia puddings are the easiest thing to make not to mention you can make 3+ at a time to really save on breakfast time. The most ideal Chia Pudding toppings and seasonal fruit’s and/or nuts and seeds. Tip: Keep a jar of your favourite nut/seed mix on hand in the pantry and sprinkle over your pudding in the morning or the night before. Chia puddings like health fats are fantastic for keeping you full through till lunch.

4. Add more colour for a colourful day – Fruit Salad

Mix your favourite fruits with freshly boiled (or use leftovers) quinoa for a super food hit in the morning.  Popular for after early morning activities to beat the post training munchies, combine your favourite summer fruits with quinoa, add avocado, activated nuts and seeds is a great way easy way to refuel.

My favourite combination:  Strawberry, Blueberries, Mango, Avocado with Spinach leaves, quinoa, pumpkin seeds and crushed brazil nuts. Also fantastic with turmeric sprinkled on top.

5. Ditch heavy processed grains for a Turmeric Zucchini Egg Bowl

It’s important to get a good quality powder with no synthetics to where possible best to choose organic.
