Overnight oats

Breakfast becomes a real treat with overnight oats. You do all the work the night before, leaving you with absolutely no work to do in the morning. In addition, this breakfast keeps you satiated for a long time, as it is high in fiber and protein. You can enrich the oats with fruit, nuts or a scoop of yogurt as desired, so you start the day with a nutritious and energy-rich breakfast.

These are the ingredients:

  • 50 grams of oatmeal
  • 150 milliliters (plant-based) milk
  • 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
  • Fruit such as banana, strawberries or blueberries
  • Optional: sweetener, honey or spices such as cinnamon or spice

Preparation: mix the oatmeal, milk and chia seeds in a bowl or jar the night before. Put it in the refrigerator so that the oatmeal and chia seeds absorb the milk. In the morning, just add some fruit and your breakfast is ready.

Tip: Vary with toppings such as nuts, seeds or a spoonful of peanut butter for extra flavor and nutrients.

Smoothie bowl

This delicious breakfast is packed with fruit, giving you a good dose of vitamins early in the day. A smoothie bowl can be completely customized with your favorite fruits, such as berries, mango or banana, and you can top it off with healthy toppings such as granola, chia seeds or nuts. It's not only a tasty way to start the day, but also a nutritious choice that will give you energy to handle the rest of the day.

Here are the ingredients:

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 100 grams of frozen berries (red fruit, blueberries or strawberries)
  • 100 milliliters of (plant-based) yogurt
  • Handful of granola
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes
  • Handful of nuts or seeds

Preparation: blend the banana, berries and yogurt until thick and creamy. Spoon this into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. In no time you will have a colorful, nutritious breakfast that is also Instagram-worthy!

Tip: Keep some fruit separate or cut fresh fruit is pieces as an extra topping.

Avocado toast

Avocado toast is a real treat for both breakfast and lunch. Avocado is packed with healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, making it not only delicious but also nutritious. Combine it with a poached egg or some chili flakes for extra flavor and you have a meal that is both delicious and good for your body.

These are the ingredients:

  • 1 slice of (whole wheat) bread
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 boiled or poached egg
  • Optional: salt, pepper and chili flakes
  • For the sweet version: pomegranate seeds

Preparation: boil or poach an egg. Toast the bread while practicing the avocado. Spread the toasted bread with the avocado. Place the boiled or poached egg on top and season with salt, pepper and chili flakes. This breakfast is full of healthy fats and protein, and it will keep you satiated for a long time.

Tip: Not a fan of eggs or in a hurry? For a nice sweet twist, top the avocado toast with pomegranate seeds.
