With these ideas you will have more variety of both savory and sweet breakfastswarmer but equally combinable with other elements such as toast, coffee, tea or infusions.

To make a good breakfast bowl you don’t need hundreds of ingredients, just the ones you like and combine well. You can take advantage of cereals and legumes that you have in the fridge already cooked, fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts.

Add the peas, bell pepper, soy sauce, turmeric and parsley and sauté for a few more minutes. Take it out and mix with the flax seeds. Sprinkle with the kala namak salt and serve with the lemon.

Other ideas

porridge

If for the summer the most comfortable is leave the oats to soak overnight with the non-dairy milk, in winter it is to heat everything together for a few minutes. This way you will have them freshly made and tender, thanks to cooking, as if you left them overnight. It is also worth leaving them in the fridge and heating them the next day.

Try both sweet and salty combinations: with fruit, chocolate, nuts, seeds, steamed or cooked vegetables (pumpkin, carrot, etc.) or grilled (mushrooms, mushrooms, etc.).

To complete your porridge put a handful of broken chia or flax seeds and another handful of peeled nuts.

Puddings and creams

You only need a mixer to make a very tasty cream: the base is banana or avocadoand for the flavor you can use cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla, other fruits to taste, etc.

Crown your cream with seeds and nuts for an extra protein and omega 3.

If you like to have a salty breakfast you can also quickly very appetizing creams: with carrot, pumpkin, potato, etc. More or less the same as a cream that we would prepare for dinner or lunch. For breakfast I prefer creams without onions and with a handful of cooked legumes on top.

mixed bowls

For breakfast “a little of everything” balanced. You can mix cooked and drained legumes such as beans, lentils or chickpeas, with quinoa, brown rice, some steamed vegetable (for example sweet potato), and a few slices of avocado and tomato.

If you have things prepared from previous days, you just have to mix them and heat them. Plan your meals in such a way that you always have a little left over and so you can always eat what you want even when you’re in a hurry.
