Breakfasts
This blueberry chocolate smoothie not only supports liver health, it also supports gut health and is blood sugar supportive which means it also supports hormonal health. Supporting blood sugar balance and liver health are the foundations for supporting hormonal health. INGREDIENT BENEFITS: - cauliflower: estrogen detoxification, fibre to gut health - flaxseeds: estrogen detoxification, an amazing source of fibre to support the microbiome - organic blueberries: rich in anthocyanins, antioxidants that reduce inflammation and protect the liver from oxidative stress - protein: amino acids needed to proper liver detoxification
This combination may sound a little strange at first, but trust me, it's delicious! This breakfast is high in protein which is exactly what your body needs to start the day. Higher protein breakfasts will also support stable blood sugar levels, reduce cravings and support weight balance. This chocolate almond butter omelette is also easy to make and kid friendly too!
Prep it the night before and it's ready the moment you wake up, no effort required. Every single ingredient in this recipe is doing something beautiful for your skin. Chia seeds are a great plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids which help reduce inflammation, support your skin's moisture barrier, and keep it looking plump and healthy. Avocado brings vitamin E and healthy monounsaturated fats - both essential for skin elasticity and protecting against the kind of oxidative stress that accelerates ageing. Matcha is rich in antioxidants called catechins that help protect skin cells from damage, and gives you a calm, steady energy without the coffee jitters, and the manuka honey has natural antibacterial properties and gut supporting benefits. Your skin will thank you for this!
This decadent chocolate mousse smoothie is all kinds of delicious! It’s a fantastic breakfast option if you prefer a sweeter breakfast. It's jam-packed with healthy fats, antioxidants, minerals, and protein to nourish your body, give you glowing skin, support stable blood sugar levels, and give you lasting energy.
This anti-inflammatory smoothie is jam-packed full of goodness. This is a recipe that I often recommend to my clients, particularly if they have an inflammatory condition. Inflammation is at the core of most common health woes - such as weight gain, gut dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, skin issues, auto-immune conditions, to name just a few. If you’re struggling with an inflammatory condition or any kind of inflammation, give this smoothie a try.
If you’re short on time in the morning this high protein chocolate breakfast bar recipe is for you! It’s gluten free, dairy free and contains no added sugar! What’s even better is that it takes less than 15 minutes to make and is loaded with wholefood ingredients which will fuel your body for the day ahead. It contains lots of healthy fats to help your skin glow and support cellular health, also to help keep you satiated between meals. It also contains lots of protein to help keep your blood sugar levels stable, this helps with reducing cravings later in the day. Slice this recipe into 6 bars and grab one as you walk out the door in the morning.
Starting your day with a nutritious chocolate waffle (that's high in protein) is always a good idea, especially when you smear it with almond butter and top it off with raspberries, what more could you want for breakfast!
This high fibre no-grain bircher is gut-friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, low GI, and is paleo and vegan friendly. This breakfast is also very high in protein and healthy fats. Starting your day with a breakfast high in fat and protein is vital if you want to have stable energy levels throughout the day. These two food groups also help to switch off your hunger hormones. This is a fantastic make-ahead breakfast that you could prep 3-4 days' worth during the weekend. Just grab a few small jars, pour the ingredients into each of them, and let them sit in the fridge. It's a great way to ensure you have a nourishing, blood sugar-friendly breakfast that you can grab as you run out the door in the morning. During the winter months, I love to warm this breakfast up over the stove for a few minutes to enjoy as a nourishing grain-free porridge.
This is a fantastic breakfast, lunch or dinner recipe. What I love most about this recipe is that it can be whipped up in around 5 minutes. It’s also super versatile, you can add any salad ingredients you like into the middle, you can also use any leftover meat (chicken, lamb, steak) or even deli meat if you fancy the extra protein hit. This recipe is also loaded with health-promoting ingredients - healthy fats, protein, viatmin C, as well as lots of other vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and herbs.
You can make this smoothie bowl in a matter of minutes for a nutritious and oh-so-delicious breakfast or afternoon snack. It’s full of protein and healthy fats to keep you feeling full and satiated for hours. It contains raw cacao powder which is a nutrient-dense superfood packed with polyphenols, antioxidants, magnesium, and iron. It supports heart health by improving blood pressure and reducing bad (LDL) cholesterol.
Almost every weeknight for the past couple of years I've made this overnight oat recipe for my hubby in the evenings so he can grab it and go in the morning, or if he doesn't start super early he heats it on the stove to make a warm porridge. Every now and then I make it for myself as well. It's a staple recipe we've both loved for years. This recipe is loaded with healthy fats, protein and complex carbs making it a nutrient-rich breakfast that keeps both of us satisfied until lunch time. You can even make it in large batches ahead of time (for 4-5 days) and portion it out in the morning.
Talk about getting in your greens! One thing I emphasize in not only my diet, but my client's diets is to bump up their nutrition profile by adding in lots of leafy green veggies. This is one easy way to do it! This low carb super green omelette is high in protein and healthy fats and can be whipped up in under 10 minutes. It's a perfect healthy breakfast or easy lunch option. You need a few ingredients, a fry pan and you are good to go!
I absolutely love this smoothie, I've been making it for years. It can be thrown together in a matter of minutes and is full of healthy fats, protein, fibre and greens to nourish your body and give you lasting energy. Enjoy! Nat xx
