Breakfast is the only thing that can drag me out of bed. Apparently for me, food appears to be more important than sleep!!! I must start my day with breakfast, else I will be super grumpy! Who can concentrate on work with an empty stomach, heh definitely not me :p
So here's my top 3 breakfast for my unidays!!! It's really easy and quick to prepare. But most importantly, it is healthy!
1. Oatmeal with fresh blueberries
Want some complex carbs? :)
Prep time: < 3 minutes
Ingredients: 2 tbsp of roll oats, 150-200ml milk, blueberries
Oats are high in fibre and aids in digestion too! In fact, it is a filling food - never fails to keep me full for more than 4 hours.
If you like it more 'watery', add more milk! I prefer creamy one :D
Microwave it on medium heat for 30 seconds - 1 minutes and there you go! *Always keep an eye on it when it is in the microwave. You will never want to see that steamy milk cascading over your bowl and microwave! Yes, I have my horror story of milk boiling over to share, and I spent more than 15 minutes to clear up the mess :(
Served it with blueberries, sometimes I have nuts - pumpkin seeds/sunflower seeds/walnuts/almonds.
2. Eggs on spinach bed
Proteins on an extra boost of greens.
Prep time: 5-10 minutes (depends on how you want your eggs to be served)
Ingredients: Handfuls of spinach, 2 eggs
This is awesome and super quick to make. Heat up the oil in a pan, sautee the spinach, crack the eggs into the pan. The cooking time is your own choice, I like my egg yolks to be runny so normally I leave them on the pan for 3-4 minutes on medium heat. The thing I love having this as breakfast is that I can do something else (like refill my water bottle/check student emails etc.) while preparing and I don't need to cut anything up!
Spinach contains approximately 25% of daily iron intake and it is really a gem in the green leafy vegetables kingdom.
Ohh, not to forget the pepper, I'm a pepper lover.
If I have a long morning before I get to eat my lunch, I will toast a mixed grain bread along with the eggs. Love dipping my toast in egg yolks!
3. Smoked salmon, cucumbers and toasted bread
If you see me holding this and running all the way to the bus stop, yes, I am late for class. :P
Prep time: < 2 minutes
Ingredients: Smoked Salmon, cucumber slices, bread
I don't like bread, like seriously, I dislike it because it has no flavour - like how i dislike rice. That is why I feel the need to add some flavour on my toasted bread. This is the easiest breakfast to prepare - toast the bread, cut the cucumbers, add a few slices of smoked salmon. That's it.
So yea, in conjunction with the first day of uni, I'm sharing this with you guys. Never skip breakfast yea, at least get something to eat before your class!
Off to bed, hitting the wall of fatigue today. I got caught in the rain this morning and still suffering from sorethroat (eating too much grapes over the weekend -.-)
Au revoir~
