I love smoothie bowls because theyâre super easy to put together, you really donât need to spend a lot of time in the kitchen prepping, which is perfect for people that donât have the time or the skill to cook! You can basically put any twist you like on the classic smoothie bowl, but this one is my favorite!

2) Egg & Avocado Toast
How could I leave my ultimate favorite breakfast classic off this list?

3) Cacao and Avocado Porridge
Porridge is a breakfast staple in any household, everyone likes it, and thereâs just so much you can do with it! As you can probably tell, avocados are a staple in my kitchen! Here is my delicious cacao and avocado porridge.

4) Quinoa Fruit Salad
My latest obsession, besides avocados, is quinoa. It just goes so well with everything, and the salads Iâve been making have been just phenomenal. Also in the summer months, I am such a fruit fanatic. On a really hot summer day, fresh fruit is the only thing I want to eat! So, I thought, why not mix the two, and make a quinoa fruit salad! Itâs fresh and healthy, and provides you with the nutrients you need for a healthy morning!
Quinoa Fruit Salad
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- pinch salt
- 1 lime
- 3 Tbsp honey
- Handful of chopped mint leaves
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup mango
- Nuts, seeds or nut butter to top
Directions
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Add the quinoa water and salt to a saucepan and boil for 5 minutes. Turn down the heat to a simmer, until the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes).
- Fluff up with a fork and leave to cool.
- For the dressing, whisk the honey, lime juice and mint together.
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, blueberries, strawberries, and cubed mango. Pour over the dressing, divide among plates then and garnish with a few mint leaves!
Recipe Notes
*You can save time but meal prepping quinoa for the week, so you only need to add the dressing and fruits and your breakfast is ready!
5) Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
So, maybe this one isnât the healthiest on the list, but lets save this one for indulgent Sundays. The great thing about this recipe is it doesnât have any sugar, oil, gluten or dairy! It does take a little longer than usual, but theyâre so delicious, I just couldnât leave them off this list!
