So these breakfast bowls are everywhere right now and my social media is flooded with all these beautiful pictures.
Unfortunately there are a lot of them contain ingredients that you can't necessarily find here in India.
So I came up these 3 really yummy breakfast bowl receipes that I am going to share with you in this video.
So what is a breakfast bowl?
A breakfast bowl is typically a smoothie thats a little bit thicker
so you can pour it in a bowl and have it with a spoon.
It's topped with all these nice texural ingredients that make it a really nice satisfying complete meal.
How often should you have them? Well, If you ask me what I usually do is,
for breakfast out of 7 days in week, I'll probably have a breakfast bowl for about 3 days
Then 2 days, I'll have a fruit platter, the remaining 2 days maybe I'll have a smoothie
and this is usually when I am in a hurry or I have to go somewhere.
Ofcourse this is just an estimation but my point is that I don't have a breakfast bowl everyday
because if you are adding you know bananas to it then it does become a little bit heavy.
But you are good till the time you are having it about 3 times a week.
We are going to start with the Blush Breakfast Bowl.
To prepare the base, you need just 4 ingredients.
1/4 cup water, 1 banana frozen for about 6 hours
3/4 of a small beetroot, and 3 medium pears.
I am using 4 because mime are quite small.
Make sure you use the soft variety of pears, the ripe ones,
the ones what sink in when you apply pressure with your thumb.
So, we are just going to add everything into our blender starting with the water.
By the way, I just cut the pear and the beetroot to fit into my blender.
The reason I am using a frozen banana is actually because this smoothie for your bowl has to be a little bit thicker than a traditional smoothie.
So the frozen fruits really really helpfuls with that.
I usually put my bananas in the freezer one night before.
Once you have got your smoothie complete, you can top with basically anything you like.
I am adding some shredded coconut, pineapple, kiwi slices,
walnuts, pumpkin seeds and at the end just a sprinkle of some poppy seeds.
For our toppings, use anything that's available in your kitchen.
Try to maintain a ratio of about 30 % of dry fruits to 70 % of fresh fruits.
The dry stuff is honestly just to add a little bit of texture and to make it more fun.
But just remember that too many nut seeds is not good
specially in the curing stage.
This bowl serves 2 people and it costed me only ₹74 to make.
Which means ₹37 for 1 person.
Now, this is the price without the toppings because the toppings are in your hands.
You can make it as expensive or as cheap as you want depending on what toppings you put in.
Next up I have got my yummy Tropical Breakfast Bowl.
And I love this one because it's such a beautiful way to start your day.
For this you will need 1/4 cup of water, 3/4 cup of shredded coconut,
2 cups of spinach, 4 frozen bananas, 3-4 dates which I have soaked,
1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 2 tsps of lemon juice.
I am going to add it all up to my blender and blend it till it's well combined.
Transfer to a bowl and I am going to top it with a few slices of mango, watermelon,
muskmelon, sunflower seeds, pomegrante and dried apricots.
So this one costs about ₹80, which means just ₹40 for 1 person.
So for the third and the final one, I am going to show you the Choco Crunch Breakfast Bowl.
Yes! I have saved the best for the last.
You will need 1/2 a cup of coconut milk. You can also use coconut water
1 1/2 cups of coconut cream, this is one that you scoop out of an immature coconut.
Here, in India we call it coconut malai.
3 frozen bananas, 3/4 spoon of cacao. You can order cacao today on Amazon, I have left a link in the description below.
Just remember that cacao is different from cocoa.
1 coin of ginger, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and just a pinch of salt.
Again just blend it all up!
and top with your favourite toppings.
I am adding some banana, sapota which is basically called chickoo here in India,
mulberries, cacao nibs, chopped almonds and chia seeds.
What's better in life than eating chocolate pudding for breakfast.
Now this one is a little bit more expensive.
It costed me ₹162 to make it for 2 people which means ₹81 for 1 person.
So now that you know how to make these, don't just sit there and continue eating
your breads and your cornflakes and parathans for your breakfast in the morning.
because those kinds of things are making you more and more unhealthy every passing day.
They are filled with ingredients whose names you can't even pronounce and all these things are so toxic to your body.
So get up on your legs and at least give these breakfast bowls a try.
If you can't find some ingredients, then let me know what it is in the comments below.
And I'll tell you how to substitute it.
And while you are at it, enjoy the process, take pictures, decorate them,
because making your food look visually appealing makes you look forward to this meal.
With adding no sugar, no processed stuff, nothing boxed, tinned, bottled or canned.
Just mother nature's best food. Good old fruits and vegetables.
So I really hope that you make these for breakfast tomorrow. I'll see you in the next video.
