Overnight oats
This handy overnight oats recipe will keep you full until lunch. Mix equal parts overnight oats, low-fat milk, and fat-free natural yogurt (1/3 cup is usually a good measurement) and place in an empty jam jar or glass pot. Add a layer of fruit (berries and bananas are a good bet) and leave to chill overnight. Grab from the fridge in the morning and eat on the go.
Microwave scrambled eggs
Eggs are always a winner at breakfast. Beat one egg, some milk, salt and pepper in a microwave safe mug and cook for 45 seconds. Stir and continue to microwave for a further 30-45 seconds. With a clean fork stir in a tablespoon of grated cheese and leave to melt. Finally, add cherry tomatoes and voilà a gorgeous breakfast in under 3 minutes.
Breakfast muffins
Make a batch of these unreal blueberry muffins on Sunday night and they will last you a whole week. Here's what you need to do. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Grease a muffin tin. In a food processor combine 255gms of oats, 60 ml of almond milk or low-fat milk, 5 average size bananas, and 140gms of blueberries until thick and creamy. Pour mixture into tin and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Avocado on toast
It's so simple but so delicious. Not only do avocados have tonnes of good fats but they are loaded with fibre and potassium. Mash half a ripe avocado with olive oil and lemon juice. Toast some brown bread and use a good quality low-fat spread like Connacht Gold Half Fat Butter. Next layer the mixture on top of your toast and enjoy. If you want to get really fancy smancy throw a few chili flakes on top for a bit of a kick.
