Overnight Summer Breakfast Goodness

Goooodmorning!!

Remember I have a big addiction to oats? Well I told you all about the benefits of oats in my post Overnight oats with a twist. This is kind of a similar breakfast recipe, but great in summer. It's my ideal to-go-to breakfast options, because you simply prepare at night just before you go to bed and then you wake up and all you have to do is get this yummy treat out of the fridge, top it off.. get a spoon in.. and enjoy waking up!

Ingredients

for the oats

30 gram oats

1 tbsp lineseeds

nuts (I used 3 almonds, 3 hazelnuts)

a few cranberries or raisins

handful of mixed fresh or frozen berries (I used raspberries and blueberries)

pinch of cinnamon

125ml soy milk

100ml soy yogurt

optional toppings

more nuts, seeds, goji berries, more fruit, beepollen, mulberries take your pick! 

All you have to do is grab a bowl and mix in all the ingredients for the oats, chop the nuts roughly and stir until well combined and then cover the bowl and set a side in the fridge. The berries make the yogurt taste amazing and it creates a great pink colour to your breakfast, a perfect combination! 

The Next morning you add your toppings and off you go!

Sunny Spinach Side Salad

Gooodevening all!! 

Tonight I felt horrible, yup still sick. After being to the doctor now for the 4th time, they finally find out I have an inflammation.. Something wrong with my kidney so I am getting a full check on Wednesday and antibiotics for now. Yeah you hear that right, antibiotics.. something I reallllly hate to take. Well, I hate to take any kind of medications, even painkillers, but it also made me determined to start getting back on track. No more snacking and cheating, but eating healthy and only healthy until my body is back to normal. Yes I do eat healthy about 60% of the time, but the last few weeks I indulged way too much ;-) Anyway.. this evening I whipped up an amazing dinner, from all fresh ingredients I bought on the farmers market. I roasted a turkey thigh in the oven.. amaaaaazing! I'm so sorry my boyfriend butchered the turkey before I was able to make the picture hahha he loved it! With the turkey I served roasted sweet potato and this loaded superfood salad.

Ingredients

Spinach leaves (washed)

a box of cherry tomatoes

1/2 box of raspberries (fresh)

1 zucchini

old goat cheese (hard)

2 tbsp of pine nuts

half a red onion, chopped

some sun dried tomatoes

raspberry vinaigrette

hazelnut or walnut oil

Get a grill pan on high heat and sprinkle the zucchini with olive oil, salt, pepper and then grill until they have a beautiful brown stripe and are caramelised. Get a big bowl and start with shredding your spinach a bit, so the leaves are not huge. That doesn't eat very pleasant ;-) Now add the tomatoes, you can slice them up however you like. Roast the pine nuts in a dry pan and in the  meanwhile add all the other ingredients in the bowl. Finish with pine nuts and grated goat cheese and serve with the vinaigrette and oil. Amazingly delicious!! 

My Superfood Frozen Yogurt

Frozen yogurt, who doesn't love it? And it's healthy.. right?

Welllll.... not that healthy as you would think. Unfortunately company's add a lot of sugar in their frozen yogurts. While most frozen yogurt is nonfat or very low fat, the calories still ad up. A large cup of frozen yogurt is an average 380 calories and has 76g of sugar, without any toppings added.

Well, let me introduce you the real deal.. really, yummy, delicious, mouth watering Superfood Frozen yogurt

Ingredients

100g of frozen mixed berries

100g of 0% fat Greek Yogurt

a dash of almond milk

a teaspoon of cinnamon

a teaspoon of macs (optional)

Mix all the ingredients in a blender, mix, mix, mix... done! Yep, that easy.. add milk until the right consistency (depends on your berries) but it shouldn't need that much! 

Than pour the mixture in a bowl and add your toppings! Mine: cacao nibs, coconut and sliced dry roasted almonds.. daaaaaamn delicious!
