3 BREAKFASTS TO GO
This will score you points at the office
So then... Two days and a lot of calories later. I had another press trip on the agenda. Really fun, and you won't hear me complain. But that did mean two days of croissants, eclairs, macarons, and glasses of Chablis.
Despite all those delights, I am always happy to be home after a few days. My own bed, all my clothes at my disposal (because you always want to wear that sweater you didn't bring), and ultimately I do long for my fridge filled with healthy things.
Usually, I have little time in the morning to eat my breakfast at home. Therefore, I have become a pro at ‘breakfasts to go‘.
Do you want to impress your colleagues tomorrow too? Then try one of my favorite recipes. Maybe double the amount right away, because keep in mind that everyone will dig in.
1. Cashew/oat jar with red fruit
– 25 grams of cashews
– 30 grams of oats
– 3 dates
– vanilla extract
– pinch of salt
– fresh or frozen raspberries
– 1 teaspoon chia seeds
– 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Soak the cashews and oats. The next morning, drain the water from the nuts and then blend the nuts together with the oats. Mix the nuts and oats with the vanilla, dates, and a pinch of salt until you get a creamy mass. Cook the raspberries with a tablespoon of water. Add a teaspoon of chia seeds and some maple syrup and bring to a boil.
Fill a glass or Tupperware container with the cashew cream and top it off with the warm raspberry jam.

2. Bircher muesli
– 25 grams of oats
– 1 ripe pear
– 150 grams of Greek yogurt
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
– 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
– small handful of chopped almonds
The night before: bake the pear with a pinch of cinnamon and cardamom. You will see that a lot of moisture is released. Put the oats in a bowl, pour the pear over it, and cover until the next morning.
In the morning: combine the Greek yogurt with the pear/oats. Mix well and serve with an extra pinch of cinnamon and some chopped nuts.
3. Banana bread smoothie
– 1 banana
– 200 ml almond milk
– 1 tablespoon almond paste
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon maple syrup
– pinch of salt
Put all the ingredients in the blender and mix until you get a smooth mass. You can also make this smoothie the night before. It keeps for two days in the fridge.
