Three Nourishing Make-ahead Breakfasts

Oat Cups:

Ingredients (to make one, repeat each addition to make another cup as detailed in method):

• 1/3 cup of oats
• small handful of walnuts
• 1tbsp oat bran (optional)
• 1 tbsp collagen
• 1tsp honey
• pinch of salt and cinnamon to taste

Method:

• arrange one-five cups or other small container (glass jars work well but can be hot to touch once you have added hot water, a mug handles well).
• add each of the above ingredients and store away until needed.
• add 3/4 cup freshly boiled water when you are ready to use.

Easy Egg Frittata Minis

Ingredients (to make 6 serves):

• 12 eggs
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp italian herbs

Method:

• whisk all ingredients together and pour into moulds (you can I had a variety on hand).
• load into oven at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes, removing when a carefully inserted knife comes out the middle clean.
• Let rest for a few minutes in there moulds and then carefully pop out to be salted and peppered according to your own desires.
• Freeze what ever you can’t eat over four days. They will keep for three months and still be delish when gently warmed in microwave, air fryer or oven.

Little tip: you can go wild with these! Spinach, tomato, pumpkin, bacon or salmon can be added to the mix and cooked up. They can be served with avocado or tommy sauce. They are perfect for babies who have safely started solids and are free of egg allergies.

Unbelievably Yummy Egg Wraps (without doubt, supremely delish)

Ingredients (to make one, repeat each addition to make another wrap as detailed in method):

• two boiled eggs
• 1/4 avocado
• generous smear of hummus
• 1/2 tomato
• other veg if you have it, I used pumpkin but most the contents of this wrap are optional.

Method:

• boil a fresh pot of water and carefully place in as many eggs as you need (example, making three wraps, use 6 eggs). Boil for 6-10 minutes, less if you like creamy, longer if you don’t love runny yolks. Once boiled, rest in cool water, once cooled, peal away shells and set aside.
• Lay wraps open on a clean kitchen work space. Lather lovingly with hummus and bestow upon it all other yummy ingredients, add a touch of salt and pepper if you wish.
• Place in containers whatever wraps you are not eating immediately to be eaten when ready (within four days).

Hello and welcome to the blog!

I am a mum, wife, personal trainer and nutritionist currently finishing a master’s of public health. I understand midnight feeds, assignment deadlines, balancing it all with work and the desire to lean into life with presence and joy with my family and friends amongst it all.

I am about living the good life, in the real world. I understand that it is rarely perfect, often requires a sense of humour and is always enhanced by doing what ever little things you can to stay healthy.

I offer personal training and nutrition consulting to anyone who needs support*, no matter where you are at!
