New London Breakfast Favourite: Spinach and Spring Onion Omelette

I've been having a busy schedule since I am living in London and found out that fruit for breakfast doesn't really cut it anymore. This savory breakfast really keeps me going!

Serves: 2

Time: 15 min

You need:
5 eggs
2 spring onions
chili powder (optional)
2 handfuls of fresh spinach
1 avocado

1. whisk the eggs until yolks and egg white are fully mixed, then add in the chili (if you eat salt and pepper with your eggs, best save it for when the egg is halfway cooked, salt breaks up the consistency of the egg and makes it watery).
2. Chop the spring onion, whisk it through the egg.
3. Heat up some olive oil in a frying pan.
4. Pour the mixture in the pan, add the spinach on top and reduce the heat to half.
5. When the bottom of the omellette is solid, fold in half and reduce the heat to low, let it sit for a few more minutes.
6. Cut the omelette in half and serve with half an avocado.

Lovely breakfast for when I am in a bit of a hurry.

When I am in a bit of a hurry or just feel like having grapefruit I prepare this nutritious breakfast. Be cautious with the soy yoghurt tough, AlproSoya has loads of sugar in their products. It tastes rather disgusting actually, Provomel is the better option in the Netherlands. You can get it at any reform store and some supermarkets.

You need:
1/2 grapefruit
1 apple
handful of walnuts (or more, when you have a busy day)
soy yoghurt.

1. Remove the pulp from the grapefruit, I think it is best done by taking a sharp knife and section each piece between the pulp, then cut around the edge of it. 
2. Peel the apple, cut it into pieces.
3. add the yoghurt.
4. sprinkle with walnuts.

Delicious start of the day

I love coconut, and to appreciate this breakfast fully you must at least like coconut a lot.. But if you do, you almost couldn't start your day better. For me it is a bit to expensive to eat on a daily basis, mainly due to the blueberries. That's why I often leave them out or go for the frozen blueberries. Feel free to experiment with other fruits as well!


Preparation time: 5 min
Serves: 1

You need:
1/2 can of coconut milk (preferably fairtrade/organic, read the label!)
handfull of blueberries
1 apple
1 pear
pumpkinseeds
walnuts
diced coconut
teaspoon of cinnamon

I think the recipe is almost self-explanatory but here we go.

1. dice the pear and apple and put it in a bowl.
2. add some  blueberries, pumpkinseeds, walnuts and the coconut pieces. 
3. pour the coconut milk in your bowl.
4. add some cinnamon.
5. Grab a nice cup of tea and enjoy!
