Breakfast helps to kick start your metabolism, and refuel your glycogen (energy) stores. Having a meal early in the day has also been proven to stabilise blood sugar levels, and improve memory and concentration levels. It reduces the risk of us binge-eating later in the day from hunger.
So what are some healthy breakfast ideas that aren’t bland oats? We’ve got you covered! Here are three healthy breakfast options that will spice up your whole day.
Matcha protein crepe-ish cake with Matcha yoghurt
As someone who is fascinated by the food traditions of other cultures, matcha crepe cakes have always been mesmerizing to me. These ones I have made are sort of a hybrid between crepes and pancakes – thin pancakes. They are oaty, breakfasty, matcha-y and delicious. Plus you get a big old hit of protein to keep you going until lunch. And if you choose to eat the whole stack yourself, well.. You probably won’t need lunch either.
- Prep 15 min
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour (I process a cup of oats in my food processor)
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 4 tablespoon Organic Matcha Whey Protein Isolate
- 2 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
Directions
- Turn your stove top onto a medium heat and allow your saucepan to heat up.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all the ingredients together, until a runny batter is formed.
- Grease the pan with a small amount of your choice of oil (I used coconut) and pour in a medium sized circular pancake. They don’t take very long to cook, and should be very easy to flip.
- Continue until you have a big fat stack of crepe pancakes, ready to roll.
- If desired, mix half a cup of yoghurt (I used Five AM Organics vanilla bean) with a tablespoon of Organic Matcha Whey Protein Isolate, and a sprinkle of Bare Greens. Let it sit for five or so minutes and mix thoroughly again. Layer the crepes with yoghurt and serve!
