What makes or breaks your breakfast?
For me it’s bananas. I have to have bananas or my day is, well, spoiled. That’s a habit I’ve acquired from my dad, a seasoned runner who won’t go a day without his natural dose of potassium.
Nonetheless, I find that often bananas get lonely. You need to top them off with something, such as soy yoghurt, cereals or other fruits. I come up with new concoctions to go with my bananas every day.
This bad boy was my epic Sunday breakfast: banana, chia seeds, rice milk, a pinch of maca flour, green banana flour, soy yoghurt, agave syrup and flaxseed. PHEW.
The key to me is to soak the chia seeds (about one tablespoon) in a bit of rice milk for about 10 minutes before adding the other ingredients, so they get a bit “puffy”.
I then added a pinch of maca flour and a tablespoon of green banana flour (both of which I got in Brazil last time I was there…). Mix it up, slice the banana, add the yoghurt, sprinkle with flaxseed and top it all off with as much agave syrup as you wish. Then, obviously, indulge.
So how’s your epic breakfast?
