This one is&nbsp;<strong>our current favourite<\/strong>.&nbsp; These are easy to make, nutritious, and pretty tasty to boot. Make them on the weekend and keep them in the freezer for the week.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Mix the following ingredients together, then bake at 350 Fahrenheit until then look done (about 15 to 20 minutes):<\/p><ul class=\"list-style2 wp-block-list\"><li>3 mashed bananas (the riper the better)<\/li><li>1 cup vanilla almond milk<\/li><li>2 eggs<\/li><li>1 tbsp baking powder<\/li><li>3 cups quick oats<\/li><li>1 tsp vanilla<\/li><li>Handful of chocolate chips or blueberries<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\">3) AVOCADO TOAST WITH EGGS<\/h3><p>Here\u2019s an easy no-brainer breakfast full of healthy fats, protein, and fibre.<\/p><ul class=\"list-style2 wp-block-list\"><li>1 small ripe avocado (sliced or mashed)<\/li><li>2 slices of bread toasted (we recommend sprouted, rye, or flax)<\/li><li>Pinch of salt<\/li><li>Optional: pepper, red chilli flakes, tomatoes, other topping of preference<\/li><li>1 or 2 poached or hard-boiled eggs<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\">4) OVERNIGHT OATS<\/h3><p>Get a head start on breakfast the night before by simply throwing a few ingredients in a jar, and pop it in the fridge overnight. We like this recipe from&nbsp;<strong>BBC goodfood<\/strong>. The night before serving, stir the cinnamon and 100ml water (or milk) into your oats with a pinch of salt.&nbsp;The next day, loosen with a little more water (or milk) if needed. Top with the yogurt, berries, a drizzle of honey and the nut butter. Eat cold or warm depending on your preference.<\/p><ul class=\"list-style2 wp-block-list\"><li>\u00bc tsp&nbsp;ground cinnamon<\/li><li>50g&nbsp;rolled porridge oats<\/li><li>2 tbsp&nbsp;plain Greek yogurt<\/li><li>50g&nbsp;mixed berries<\/li><li>drizzle of&nbsp;honey<\/li><li>\u00bd tbsp&nbsp;nut butter&nbsp;(we used almond)<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\">5) HAM AND EGG CUPS<\/h3><p>This&nbsp;<strong>low-carb high-protein breakfast<\/strong>&nbsp;is quick and tasty. All you need is a muffin tin, your oven set to 400 Fahrenheit and a few ingredients. Line 2-3 cups in your muffin tin with a slice of ham, crack an egg into each ham cup, add a few spinach leaves (optional), and season with salt and pepper. Bake until eggs are cooked through, 12-15 minutes (depending on how runny you like your yolks). Garnish with parsley, cilantro, sliced green onions, or another topping of your preference.&nbsp;<strong>Vegetarians<\/strong>&nbsp;can sub vegetarian \u201cham\u201d slices and double the slices.<\/p><ul class=\"list-style2 wp-block-list\"><li>Oil, to lightly coat muffin tin<\/li><li>Ham slices (can sub sliced turkey or salami, but double the amount)<\/li><li>Eggs<\/li><li>A few spinach leaves (optional)<\/li><li>Salt to taste<\/li><li>Pepper to taste<\/li><li>Parsley, cilantro, green onion, for garnish (optional)<\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\">STAY ON TRACK<\/h2><p>If you\u2019re in such a rush that you don\u2019t have time for the above recipes, go for a piece of fruit and some nuts or nut butter. Alternatively, keep a few to-go cups of plain Greek yogurt in your fridge handy for those extra busy days. Don\u2019t forget the spoon!<\/p><p>If you\u2019re looking for more diet advice and motivation to help you get and stay on track, Nielsen Fitness Platinum clients enjoy nutritional consultations as a part of their training sessions.
