Josine’s Breakfast
My own favourite, nutritious breakfast
You’ll have noticed I don’t sweeten it, that’s because I don’t really have a particularly sweet tooth, but if you would like your breakfast a little bit sweeter, opt for low GI sweeteners like honey, brown rice syrup or agave syrup.
Preparation
Basically, it’s simple - you just combine all the ingredients. Doesn’t get any easier than that!
It might not look like it’s a lot of food, but because of the protein in the nuts it makes you feel fuller for longer. You can use any nuts or dried fruits you like. I use brazil nuts because only 2 of these give you your 100% of your RDA. Selenium has a wide range of benefits, from improved immune system to preventing heart disease. When you include seeds into your diet, you’ll also be getting zinc for strong nails and hair and again an improved immune system.
Blueberries are high in vitamin C and fibre, whereas the dried apricots are high in iron and vitamin A.
So, all in all, a very nutritious and tasty way to start the day.
