Breakfast Recipes
Deliciously warming, nourishing and exceptionally healthybreakfast recipes for the whole family to enjoy! Just think muffins, French toast, pancakes and cupcakes…yip all included and totally healthy!
Chai Spiced Grain Free Granola
I am a big granola fan…especially for its delicious crunch! Store bought granola's are often very high in added sugar and carbs so I have remodeled traditional granola just a little, for maximum flavour and nutrition without all the excess carbs and sugars. Cinnamon is high in antioxidants and works wonders as an anti-inflammatory, which is why it features as my main flavour for this granola recipe. This is the ultimate low carb breakfast treat for anyone who enjoys a flavourful super crunchy granola.

Low Carb Waffles with Caramelized Banana and Fresh Strawberries
One thing that I often miss on this healthy journey of mine is none other than the good old waffle. There is just something about a hearty crisp waffle that really gets my taste-buds worked up…even the thought of a waffle can trigger cravings second to none. And so off to the kitchen I went to work on a healthy waffle recipe (obviously..wink wink). What makes my heart sing even more is that this particular recipe is low carb too. Such a win! In this recipe I do use caramelized bananas as a topping which may increase the carb content, so for those of you who are watching your carbs, you can leave out the banana and just use the nut butter and strawberries as your main toppings. I hope you love this one as much as I do.

Low Carb Coconut Flour Muesli Porridge
Many commercial cereals are unfortunately loaded with processed grains, sugars, artificial ingredients and unnatural flavours and dyes. That’s why I much prefer to make my own at home – that way I know exactly what ingredients are going into my “cereal” and I can also make sure that what I am eating is nutritionally balanced. Getting back in touch with a more primal way of starting your day can make a huge difference in your energy levels, how you feel, and can kick-start your morning so that you feel great, alert, and ready to take on the day.

This delicious loaf is made simply from quinoa which is gluten free and has a low GI of 53.

You absolutely have to try this one!

Oven Baked Strawberry Cheesecake Oatmeal
Oatmeal for breakfast is just so good for you, but I know it can get boring, especially if you are eating it as a staple. I decided to switch up my oats a little to make them a little tastier – a little more like dessert! Yum! I absolutely looove cheesecake (made the healthy way of course), so why not combine the elements of cheesecake with oats to create a breakfast dessert wonder! I especially love this recipe for large families – a great weekend slow-release energy treat that is high in protein, rich in anti-oxidants, rich in healthy fats and brilliant for keeping blood sugar levels stable throughout the day!

Protein Rich Blueberry Cheesecake pancakes
And so my love affair with pancakes continue! These are honestly to die for and are delightfully nourishing too. I always create my recipes with your health (and mine) in mind. Food is delicious and pleasurable to eat, but we also need to make sure that it actually benefits us. Traditional pancakes are high GI, very carby, packed with sugar and leave us feeling sluggish (kind of a like a food coma). This however doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy pancakes, all it means is that we need to choose the RIGHT ingredients. This pancake deliciousness is rich in protein, very low in carbohydrates and contains healthy fats to keep our joints healthy and our tummies happy. These pancakes will leave you feeling so satisfied and full of energy. They will also keep you feeling full for hours. All these things combine make for the perfect recipe to support healthy weight loss while satisfying your sweet tooth.

Vegan Carrot Cake Pancakes drizzled with Tahini
I’ve always loved carrot cake and tahini has been a kitchen staple of mine for years (being half Lebanese and all), so blending the two of these came very naturally. I could honestly eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner but sometimes you need to change it up a bit, and tahini does just that! It’s loaded with vitamins and minerals especially calcium, magnesium, and zinc. These Carrot Cake Tahini Pancakes are not only packed with minerals, but also contain a good amount of plant-based protein and fibre, which is perfect to add into a vegan lifestyle. And of course they are gluten free which makes them even better!

Apple Pie Chia and Oat Pudding with Coconut Cream
Apple pie never gets old. And that is why I just had to incorporate it into one of my breakfast recipes.. the healthy way of course. Chia pudding is a great way to enjoy a dessert type dish without having to worry about being over-indulgent. Chia seeds are packed with omega 3 fatty acids, are rich in antioxidants and full of fiber, magnesium, zinc, iron and calcium. The delicious combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves also packs a poweful nutrition punch by fighting inflammation and detoxifying the body. This coupled with the goodness of MCT oils found in coconut milk and cream makes for a highly nutritious, satisfying and ultra good for you breakfast.

Let’s face it, we all love coffee right?! What would a morning be without a warming cup of coffee to kick-start the day. I don’t know about you, but I am a complete zombie without my coffee.

This is one of those classic go-to recipes that you can enjoy any time of day…(even dinner, which I have totally done a few times hehe). I hope you enjoy!

Chocolate Granola with Coconut Cream
Store bought granola is often laden with hidden sugars and unhealthy fats. That is why I always prefer to make my own at home. This recipe reminds me a little of coco-pops (if you are from SA you will definitely know this) as it turns your milk chocolate brown. I use many seeds in this recipe to ensure a great balance of healthy fats. Hope you love this one as much as I do!

Egg White Scramble with Mushrooms and Cherry Tomatoes
I really enjoy scrambled eggs, and definitely dont believe in excluding egg yolks. Egg yolks provide omega oils and amino acids which are vital for our bodies, But sometimes the egg yolk flavour can be a bit much, especially for those of you who do not like egg in general, This recipe is specifically catered to people who are a little sensitive to the taste of egg. Using egg white only is a great way to enjoy eggs without the potency of the yolk.. Paired together with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes this breakfast is a great healthy way to start the day!

Warm Quinoa Porridge with Coconut Milk
A nice warm porridge on a cold winter’s morning is so comforting. Standard porridges are highly processed and laden with refined carbohydrates. Switch normal porridge mix for quinoa (a healthy, high protein, low GI grain) and enjoy this nourishing taste bud pleaser.

Protein Pancakes with Cashew-Coconut Cream
Saturday mornings always remind me of my childhood, waking up to the warm and inviting aroma of my mother's pancakes infiltrating the entire house...drenched in cinnamon-sugar and stuffed with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Mmmm so good, but oh so very bad for the blood sugar levels. With these high protein, sugar free alternatives, Saturday mornings can still be pancake friendly!
