Quick Vegan Breakfast Idea - Healthy Articlese
Hi, I'm Sadia, welcome to Pick Up
Limes. So it was my birthday recently, feel free to show me a little bit of
belated birthday love by clicking on that subscribe button. Now one of the
gifts I got for my birthday was these bento boxes, and I thought it would be a
lot of fun to share with you some meal ideas using them, starting with
breakfast first. Now each of the meals you are going to see me makes here takes
only 5 minutes, so there really are no excuses when
it comes to having a wholesome breakfast in the morning. And you can enjoy this
at home or you can take it on the road with you. And for me personally, this
was enough for both my breakfast as well as for my morning snack. But I'll just
show you what I mean. Let's get started.
Quick Vegan Breakfast Idea - Healthy Articlese |
Here we go with breakfast number one. So
we're going to start by making this deconstructed yogurt granola and fruit
parfait. I just started by cutting up some kiwi, and I also used some fresh
raspberries, but you can use whatever fruit you have on hand or whatever fruit
you enjoy. And then on the side, I poured in some soy yogurt, I didn't want to
mix it together because I didn't want it to get soggy, but you can use any
plant yogurt you like. And then I also included this roasted pecan and
cranberry granola that is so delicious. Now, the recipe is already up on the
Pick Up Limes blog, so I'll put the link in the description box below, but I've
also made a video recipe that I'll link at the end of this video. And I usually
make this granola recipe on the weekends, that way it just lasts throughout the
week and makes for quick breakfasts whenever I need them.
So back to the bento box. I always
like to sprinkle on some ground flax seeds as well as some chia seeds, just
because of the healthy omega fats that these offers. I also included some
coconut flakes. And it's that easy to make this deconstructed parfait. And then
I just mix it all together when I'm ready to eat it. On to my morning snack. It's
pretty much just a peanut butter and banana sandwich, except for instead of
bread I use these whole-grain crackers that I cut in half and then spread on a
generous amount of peanut butter. Then using a ripe banana, I cut it into very
thick slices to place on top. And just a little bit of peanut butter on the
other side to help it all stick together and so that it doesn't come apart in
my lunchbox. Then served it with some fresh oranges on the side. And that was
my morning snack this morning. So breakfast number one is done.
On to
breakfast number two. So to make this mashed bean and avocado sandwich, we're
going to start by using half a cup of pinto beans, then a tablespoon of salsa, half
a teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, and then we mash it
together until it's all well combined. And then on two pieces of whole-grain the bread I put on some baby spinach and then distributed that mashed bean mixture
that we just created. Now if you don't have pinto beans, any beans that you
have on hand will do. Then I put on some chives, some tomato slices, as well as
some ripe avocado. And then I drizzled on some sriracha hot sauce because I
think the combination of that with the avocado and mashed beans is out of this
world. Sprinkled on a little bit of freshly ground pepper, and that's it to
make that sandwich.
I also served it with some fresh
strawberries on the side. And that was my breakfast on this day. As for my
morning snack, this is another orange that I sliced up this time. You'll notice
that I like to prepare my oranges. I find that if an orange goes into my bag
whole, it's going to come home with me unless I prepare it in some way so that
it's ready to eat. And then I also had this with some
roasted peanuts and dried cranberries, to kind of make my own homemade trail
mix, as well as these dried figs that I'm absolutely obsessed with. And to be
honest, this was a bit much for me just as a morning snack, so it trailed off
into being my afternoon snack as well. But that's it for breakfast number two. Super
super easy. And for the finale, breakfast number three. This is a chunky monkey
banana sandwich, or whatever you want to call it. So to make this you're going
to need two slices of whole-grain bread, and then spread on a generous amount
of almond butter or whatever nut butter you've got on hand.
I then sprinkled on
some hemp seeds again, for those healthy omega fats that it offers, and then
another ripe banana cut into thick chunks. Now, what makes this incredibly
delicious are these roasted coconuts, that I made just by dry roasting some
regular coconuts on medium-high heat until it became fragrant and golden. And
then using this Canadian pure maple syrup, that a friend gave me when I most
recently visited Vancouver, I use just about half a teaspoon to drizzle on top,
and it made it so absolutely delicious and sweet. And so that's it to make this
sandwich, which is kind of a fun twist on the traditional nut butter and banana
sandwich. And then on the side, I just served it with some fresh grapes. And
that was my breakfast on this third morning. As for the morning snack, it really
doesn't get easier than this. It's just two pieces of rice cakes, as well as
the leftover salsa and avocado from yesterday's breakfast, that I then mix
together and it kind of makes this faux kind of salsa guacamole dip for those
rice crackers.
Then on the side, I put in some mixed greens, to enjoy the
leftover salsa with once the rice cakes were done, and some fresh basil as
well. And that's it for breakfast number three. How easy was that! Now in
addition to having breakfast like this, I'm also making sure to stay super
hydrated throughout the morning, by having either water or tea or both. And
I've also gotten into the habit of taking my Vitamin D and B12 supplements
first thing in the morning. Now if you liked this video, you are absolutely
going to love the next one, which is also going to be bento box style, but the
theme is going to be lunch and afternoon snack ideas. So be sure to subscribe so you don't
miss out on it. And if you found any inspiration from this video, be sure to
give it a thumbs up. Alright, thanks for stopping by.
