Today I thought I'd share with you my ALL TIME FAVOURITE breakfast, and how to make it for yourself! I don't really like oats or porridge, and this is a great, healthy alternative!
Prep time:
5 minutes - it's quick, easy and delicious!
Ingredients:
Essentials:
2 x weetabix or oatabix biscuits
100ml milk of your choice
Possible toppings:
100ml yogurt - either plain yogurt or fruit, your choice!
5 large strawberries
1 chopped banana
Crushed nuts
Any type of berries
Pretty much any chopped fruits or nuts
Can add peanut butter, nutella or spread of some sort
Coca powder
Sugar or sweetener
Can even add chocolate chips
Method:
- First of all get your two weetabix/oatabix and crush them up. You can do this using your hands and just crumbling them into a bowl
- Add 100ml milk of your choice (this can be cows milk, soy milk, almond milk, goats milk - you get the picture), then using the back of a spoon, mix and stir the crumbled weetabix in with the milk. Press down with the back of your spoon on the weetabix to remove lumps. Leave this to soften while you prepare your toppings
- Now for toppings there are a wide variety of choices; the list is almost endless! You can top your weetabix with fruit, spreads, coca powder, yogurt, anything! My favourite is adding yogurt and strawberries, so I'll tell you how to do that. it's pretty simple to make it up though- try out different combinations and see which you like!
- Get 100ml of a yogurt of your choice (I like smooth strawberry or raspberry yogurts best), then scoop it out of the tub on top of your weetabix. Using the back of a spoon again, smooth the yogurt over the weetabix in a yogurt layer, before adding fruit. (you can stir in the yogurt if you prefer, I just like having the bottom layer of weetabix with a layer of yogurt on top)
- Chop up whatever fruit you wish (personally I love strawberries - I usually have 5 large ones and chop them up first into quarters, then I half each of the quarters, so splitting the strawberry into 8).
- Sprinkle your fruit on top of your weetabix (and yogurt) and you're done! Enjoy the yumminess to come!
Other ways to prepare/eat your delicious breakfast:
Another fun and equally delicious way of making your weetabix combo breakfast is by making "Overnight Weetabix".
This consists of doing exactly the same thing, the same recipe, but instead of doing it in the morning, you can do it the day/night/evening before. This is great if you get up quickly in the minute and want a quick easy breakfast with no faff!
You can make these in a jar like in my picture on the left, or you can just do it in a bowl like before.
NOTE: If you do decide to use a jar, do step 1 (preparing the weetabix) in another bowl first, because it is more difficult to get it all mixed properly in a jar.
Feeling cold?
Why not heat up your milk in the microwave before you stir it in so that it's hot?
Or mix do steps 1 and 2 and then heat your milk and weetabix?
Or you could even go full out and stick your toppings in it first then heat it up
- it's up to you!
Try it a few different ways and see which you prefer!
And that's all I have to say!
Hope this is helpful and anyone who tries this enjoys it as much as me!
If you do decide to try it and want to send in a picture (if I recieve pictures I will add a "contributor's page" or an "emailed in" page to display them on), I would love to see them!
