Tropical breakfast parfait

A little inspiration for an easy, healthy and tasty breakfast. 

All you need is some plain skyr (you can use quark, greek yoghurt etc. instead) 

topped with a little honey, muesli, banana, pineapple and raw coconut chips - so simple, so good!

Acai bowls and magazines = the best!

Recipe:

Blend 3 bananas (1 frozen), 1 cup mixed berries, 2 tbsp. acai powder (available online and in most health stores) and a little water to blend. 

Topped with muesli, pomegranate and blueberries  

Apple crumble parfait

Ingredients – 2 servings:

Apple compote:

2 apples - diced

½ cup water

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tblsp chia seeds

1 tblsp honey/agave or other sweetener of choice

2 dates - chopped

Overnight oats:

½ cup oats

2 tblsp chia seeds

1 ½ cup milk

1 tsp pure vanilla powder

Cinnamon – optional

Sweetener of choice – optional.

Muesli:

You can either use a store bought variety or make your own – a simple version could be rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts and a little cinnamon, but just get creative and use whatever you have available. I will post my recipe for homemade muesli soon!

   

Directions:

1. Apple compote: add all the listed ingredients in a pot and bring the mixture to a low boil and stir every 5 minutes. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the apples are tender. Mash the apples a little and put it in the fridge to cool.
2. Overnight oats: mix all the ingredients and leave in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight to allow the mixture to thicken – if it’s too thick then simply add a little more milk.    
3. Now all you need to do is to layer the apple compote, the overnight oats and the muesli.
4. Enjoy!
