Breakfast “Starter”
1 tablespoon ground whole flaxseed meal
100g Greek yogurt
1/2 frozen banana
Pinch of cinnamon
I like to start the day with a little natural yogurt – active probiotics are so good for the gut!
Recently I gave my pre-breakfast an upgrade: plain or flavoured Greek yogurt, with ground whole flaxseed meal for added fibre and ALA omega 3’s, and half a frozen banana, for potassium and Vitamin B6, which is preserved in freezing.
Freezing a banana also changes the starch to resistant starch which lowers its glycemic value. Adding the flaxseed gives the whole thing a dessert feel as it’s like a biscuit crumble base- almost like having cheesecake for breakfast.
The best bit? If you don’t have time for eggs to follow: you can throw all of the above ingredients into a blender with your choice of milk, add a scoop of protein powder and you have a delicious high protein brekkie on the go! This is likely to provide around 35-38g of protein, depending on your specific protein powders .
