Buddha Brekky Bowls
by Charmaine Dennis, FGHG Director and Naturopath
Variety is the spice of life – so good for getting a variety of micro, macro nutrients and phytochemicals, pre and probiotics for your microbiome, fibre for your digestive health, and keep you interested in breakfast! These Buddha Brekky bowls are super flexible. You can mix and match whatever little tasty bits you feel like on the day. Your kids will love it too!
What have I forgotten here? What else would you add?
1TBS of each… -ish… whatever you feel like on the day… all organic if you can. Soak the nuts and seeds overnight if you can… or buy already “ activated”.
- Gluten Free muesli – buy a couple of varieties, or simply soak some oats if you need it as a base. You can get GF oats at the health food store if needed. Adding lots of other bits and pieces of wholefoods will reduce any sugar load in a commercial muesli – or delete the muesli altogether.
- Walnuts
- Almonds
- Macadamias
- Brazil nuts (try to get the ones grown in Brazil as they are much higher in selenium)
- Sunflower seeds
- Linseeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Sesame seeds
- Chia Seeds – you can soak them in coconut or almond milk overnight for a few spoons of a tasty pudding – or just sprinkle them on, but they do love to get stuck in your teeth!
- Nut butter – peanut, ABC, cashew etc
- Dried Coconut
- Cacao nibs
- Goji Berries
- Natural cow, goat, sheep or coconut yoghurt
- Kefir
- Fresh almond milk
- Berries/mango/banana
- Bee Pollen (small sprinkle)
