Breakfast of champions

09/01/2017

How hungry I am in the morning varies. Sometimes I wake up ravenous, whilst on other days I can happily wait until mid-morning before I eat. It often depends on what I’ve eaten/done the night before. If I have had a carb-free dinner or have exercised the previous evening, then my appetite will be more alert the next day.

At whatever time I do decide to break-the-fast, I always love and appreciate my first meal of the day.

I haven’t eaten cereal in a long time. Since not having it, I definitely realise how it didn’t agree with me! My go-to breakfasts these days are one of the three below (depending on my hunger level and time available):

Avocado & poached egg on toast
What on earth did I do before avocado on toast??? I honestly don’t know as it has become my staple for either breakfast, lunch or supper (when I’m just cooking for myself). I adore it. If I don’t have time to poach an egg, then I will have it simply on it’s own, or with some sliced tomatoes. I always add olive oil, salt & pepper to the mashed avocado and sometimes a little lemon juice or some chilli flakes. And the bread has to be wholemeal, granary or rye… or maybe a bagel as a treat.Avocado & poached egg on toast

Overnight oats
So much more pleasing and easy on my digestive system than traditional porridge! Overnight oats are another fairly recent addition to my repertoire that begs the question – how did I manage before? Such a tasty, filling and time-efficient breakfast. I make 2 at a time, as they happily keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. I use jam jars and fill them half way with oats, then I add 1/2 a grated apple, 1 tsp chia seeds, some raisins or dried cranberries and almond milk (enough so that all the oats are submerged). I then add a dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey. In the morning, I might top with blueberries or any other fruit I have. In the image below, I stewed some plums with honey, ginger & cinnamon – very easy to do and works with most fruit that needs using up from your fruit bowl!img_8160

Overnight oats plumsGreen smoothie
My Nutri-bullet has more than served it’s purpose in the 2 years I’ve had it. I am such a fan of green smoothies and have tried so many combinations. I now tend to revert to one of the following variations:
1) Kale, celery, cucumber, 1/2 banana, blueberries, seeds (chia/sunflower/pumpkin) and coconut water
2) Spinach, celery, 1/4 avocado, grapes, pineapple, nuts (almond/cashew) and coconut water (pictured below)
If you find the above combinations lacking in sweetness, then add a little honey or maple syrup. I used to always add honey, but I have weaned myself off it and now find that the coconut water adds sufficient sweetness for my liking.

What are your go-to breakfasts? As always, I’d love to hear from you!

I am a real overnight oats convert. I put Co-op’s Summer Frozen Fruits in which are all melted and lovely by breakfast time – yum! I have been known to jump out of bed at 11pm with the cry, ‘Oooooo I haven’t done my overnight oats!’ It’s now a ritual. Love the idea of doing them in a jam jar as I grab and run and eat at work 🙂

Ooh, I already love avocado on toast, particularly with poached egg (I like pretty much anything with a poached egg, to be fair!), but I really love the overnight oats idea. I have to try that! Thank you so much for the inspiration. x

Back on my SW plan tomorrow after 2 months off and a big American holiday ? So it will be back to my boiled egg, smoked salmon and spinach pot from Pret, tiny bit of salt and a skinny latte.

I wake up starving after a chinese the night before, drives me mad because it’s those real hunger pains that hurt! X

I too am a big fan of green smoothies and overnight oats for breakfast and they have been my breakfasts of choice for a while now. I love trying different combinations and find them both very filling! I can’t say the same about avocado on toast though – I’ve tried several times to make myself like avocado but it’s not working – the only way I can eat it is in a smoothie where I can’t taste it! I know I’m in the minority but I just don’t ‘get’ it! ? xxx

Ha, ha! I love that you have ‘tried’ to like avocado Julia!!

Capsule Wardrobe dressing 🙌 In my recent poll Capsule Wardrobe dressing 🙌 

In my recent poll on Stories 80% of you say you crave a Capsule Wardrobe. When probed further, the reasons mainly centred around having too much but nothing to wear (sound familiar?) and craving simplicity and a sense of control.

I bet many of you already have the building blocks to a Capsule Wardrobe - you just don’t realise it! Have a read of my latest blog post - follow the link in my bio - and see how many of my suggested capsule pieces you already own 😉

A Capsule Wardrobe might not be as difficult to curate as you may think. It just takes time and discipline to :
➡️ Sort through all your clothes & pick out the timeless basics that mix and match with one another
➡️ Make a considered list of shopping items to complete the capsule wardrobe
➡️ Stick to a regime of relying on a set range of clothes - and not purchasing unecessary items!

I can help you with this, just send me a DM and we can set up a virtual consultation and start planning your Capsule Wardrobe 😍

I’m going to be helping this particular client plan some new Spring outfits via her existing wardrobe... Which got me delving into my own archives for some Spring inspiration. 

Here’s 6 outfits I plan to resurrect this coming season - with a few tweaks to keep the look fresh 😉🌱

Are you thinking of Spring outfits yet, or is it too early???

Duvet Day I really struggled to get out of bed t Duvet Day 

I really struggled to get out of bed today... my emotional energy is low. There’s cracks in my family unit and it’s hard trying to hold everything together. Everyone is struggling in different ways and being the glue is tough. My teens are especially buckling under the prolonged pressure of lockdown... Every time I feel like breaking free I remind myself that it’s 10 times worse for them.

So I’m sending virtual hugs to anyone else feeling like me today. Wrap yourself up in a snuggly coat, get some fresh air - or if you can, go back to bed & have a duvet day. Be kind to yourself. Your people need you & you can’t pour from an empty cup 💕💕💕💕💕💕
