Recently I've noticed that my diet has become rather unhealthy due to lack of spare time to prepare good meals and also because it's exam season and theres nothing better than a greasy cheese Toastie to munch on whilst going through a stressful period. Basically, I find it way too easy to comfort eat.
I recently finished school, and although I still have a couple of exams left, I don't have lessons anymore so I have a lot more time on my hands. So in the last couple of days I have decided that I'd like to start actually taking time with my meals where I can, and actually eat a balanced diet rather than living off of bread, cheese and chocolate (mmmm).
My first attempt at healthy eating was this breakfast idea where I've layered different types of sweet, but nutritious breakfast foods and it was seriously so quick and easy to make.
Layer 1: For this layer I used my favourite cereal at the moment which is called. It's basically made up of sweet crispy cereal clusters with dried strawberries.
Layer 2: This layer is simply just a few tablespoons of cherry yoghurt
Layer 3: Now this is my favourite part of my breakfast idea. Here I took some more yogurt and blended it together with some frozen berries, such as: Blackberries, Red berries and Raspberries. I added some water to make a more of a puree consistency.
Layer 4: Pretty self explanatory, I chopped up a banana into thin slices and placed them on top and to finish it off (mainly to make it look pretty for the photos) I added another cluster of cereal with a chunk of dried strawberry.
All of this fit into a small drinking glass and it was enough to energise me for the entire morning. I also made too much of the puree on purpose so that when I came to make breakfast again the next day, It was even quicker because it was already waiting for me in the fridge!
Another thing I've been trying to get back into is Green Tea! I drink regular english breakfast and Earl Grey normally, but there's a lot of properties in green tea which really help with digestion and bloating. I suffer immensely with bloating which often makes me feel tired and unmotivated because it is quite uncomfortable and makes me feel the opposite of good about myself. So I've been drinking more Green Tea throughout the day which I have found is already helping.
I'll definitely be posting more meal ideas as it's a good way for me to document what's worked for me and hopefully it has helped a few others too!
