Breakfast Yoghurt Bowl

This is my go-to breakfast these days and I think it’s the best way to start the day. It’s fresh, scrummy, and nice and gentle on the tummy. I’ve found that adding a teaspoon of protein powder helps keep me going right through to lunchtime—no snacks needed!

Use What’s in Season

For the base, I use whatever fruit is in season—chopped banana, grated apple, sliced pineapple, papaya—anything you enjoy. But I always add a handful of dark-coloured berries like blueberries or blackberries. They’re full of good vitamins and antioxidants. Today I also added some dark cherries and currants. Fresh is ideal, but frozen berries work just as well and I always keep a stash in the freezer.

A Few Extras

To finish, I add a bit of crunch with pumpkin seeds, mixed seeds, or a sprinkle of granola. A few fresh mint leaves from the garden really lift it too.

There’s no right or wrong—just use what you have and make it your own. It’s a flexible, feel-good breakfast that sets you up for the day.

Ingredients

• 2 tsp chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tsp protein powder (your choice)
• ½–1 banana, sliced
• 3 Tbsp plain unsweetened yoghurt
• 2–4 Tbsp dark berries (blueberries, blackberries, currants, or cherries)
• 2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
• Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• A small handful of pea shoots (optional)

Directions

1. Mix Base: In a breakfast bowl, combine chia seeds, milk, and protein powder. Stir well and let sit for 10–15 minutes (or overnight in the fridge).
2. Layer Fruit: Slice banana and layer over the soaked chia mixture.
3. Add Yoghurt: Spoon plain yoghurt evenly over the top.
4. Top & Finish: Sprinkle with berries, pumpkin seeds, mint leaves, and pea shoots.
