and tasty on the go.
Hey Mom!
I'm good! I just got back from school and now I'm eating some lunch.
Oh... you know just some potatoes and bread and then some tomatoes and some cheese.
Yeah, pretty balanced! Oh mom, can you take me to the dance class I have it at 5.
Ok great! See you then. Bye
Mom? You know, never mind... I'm not going to the dance class today.
No, I feel really sick. I don't know, maybe the potatoes were rotten. I don't know...
Yeah, I'm just gonna rest. Ok. See you, bye!
I should really start eating healthier... Let's do this!
Hey loves! I'm super excited about today's video because it was requested a lot and I've
never filmed something like that before. I'm going to show you 10 healthy breakfast and
lunch ideas for back to school. These are all very easy and quick to make - you can
make them the night before and then in the morning you just grab breakfast and lunch
and you're good to go. I hope you guys are excited and let's get started.
Let's start with 5 delicious and healthy breakfast ideas! First we are making these delicious
oatmeal cookies. You need just two ingredients to make them: One cup of oats and 2 ripe bananas.
Peel and then mush the bananas with a fork until you get that runny consistency. Put
it into a bowl and add your oats. Mix it well with a spoon and you can totally finish here
or you can add some more ingredients for a fuller taste. I like to pop in some cinnamon.
You can mix in chocolate chips, nuts, raisins whatever you prefer. Take a parchment lined
baking tray and place on the mixture in little piles like this. I am going to flatten the
top with a spoon, to make them look more like cookies. I like to decorate mine with some
dried blueberries and cranberries. You could have just mixed this into the cookie mixture,
but I like how the cookies look with the dried fruit on top. Put your cookies in the oven
at 350 Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Here they are all done, smelling delicious! Put them
in an air tight container and you have a great breakfast on the go ready. You can make these
on the weekend and they will last you for the entire week. When you are running late
for school you can just grab a couple of cookies and you're out the door. A perfect way to
get a nutritious and super tasty breakfast on the go. I also love how you can tailor
this recipe by mixing in the ingredients you like.
Another great breakfast to go idea is a yogurt and fruit in a cone! Take an ice cream cone
and ignore me pretending to be a unicorn. Put some fruit in the cone like that, I have
some blueberries, which you guys know I am obsessed with. Take a big spoon of yogurt.
I like using Greek version because it's thicker and also richer in protein than the usual
one. Put it on the cone just like ice cream and then top it off with some more fruit.
I have blueberries and strawberries. Voila, a minute breakfast that you can eat on your
way to school. This breakfast is so yummy and it also looks adorable, right? I know
that the cone contains sugar but you get your protein from yogurt and benefits from fruit
so from time to time I think this is a great breakfast or a snack to have. Cheers! Cheers
with a blueberry shot...
If you like fruit as much as I do then you will love the next idea which is a fruit salad
in a jar. Basically you just want to cut small pieces of different fruits of your choice
and put those in the jar. Today I found in the fridge some pineapple,
which is one of my favorite fruits and is also a great source of vitamins C and B. Then
I also have some strawberries, because who doesn't love strawberries right. Here I have
some clementines too. And no I don't know how to juggle. To me clementines are such
a christmassy food. The markets are full of this yummy fruit in November and December.
In the jar I first popped some red currants, pineapple, then blueberries, strawberries
and clementines. There you go - an easy and nutritious breakfast for school or work! You
can make this fruit salad the evening before and in the morning you have a delicious breakfast
waiting for you.
This next one is probably my favorite breakfast in the bunch – delicious granola bars with
nuts, fruit and chocolate chips! You need chopped cashews, pumpkin seeds, chopped almonds,
cranberries, puffed rice, dark chocolate chunks, flax seeds and a pinch of salt. Give it a
little mix and then in a separate bowl combine one table spoon of almond or peanut butter
and a quarter of a cup of rice syrup. Stir those two together until you have a nice even
mixture and then pour it into the bowl with nuts and seeds. Mix well until all the ingredients
are nicely incorporated, like that. Put the mixture on a smaller parchment lined baking
sheet. Flat it down really well to assure there are no free spaces in the mix. Pop it
in the oven and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes. You can cut your bars
when the mixture is still hot or you can wait for them to cool down. These granola bars
are seriously delicious! You can store them in an air tight container so they remain fresh
and crispy. Or you can put your bar in a little plastic bag and you can have it as a snack
during the day. The granola bars that you buy in a shop are usually packed with sugar
and other unhealthy stuff. With this homemade bars you know what you put in and you can
always adjust the recipe to your liking!
When you have more time before your classes start you can make this breakfast, which is
just as yummy as it is pretty to look at! For the pepper eggs, first cut two slices
of pepper, which should be about half an inch thick. Place them in a frying pan and beat
one egg into each pepper ring. See how cool this looks already!? Add a pinch of salt or
any other seasoning of your choice. While the eggs are cooking I am going to make some
fruit kebabs, because I want this breakfast to be extra picture worthy! Take the fruits
of your choice and cut them into pieces. Here I have some strawberries, a kiwi, a banana
and blueberries. If you love blueberries, Norway is definitely the place to live. If
you follow me on Instagram you know that. I've been picking so much blueberries this
year, they were literally everywhere! Here you go, how adorable are these and of course
tasty and healthy too! I love them. When the eggs are done, carefully put them on a plate.
And as a side we have our pretty fruit kebabs. This breakfast is just delicious, nutritious
and totally Instagram worthy. I mean come on, don't deny it, I know you do it to. We're
all guilty here. No but seriously, I think this is a great breakfast for when you have
a bit more time and you want to eat something healthy, but also have fun preparing it. Breakfast
for champs for sure!
Now let's move on to the lunch portion of this video! First we are making some healthy
egg muffins with veggies. Beat three eggs into a mixing bowl. Take your hand mixer and
whisk the eggs. While doing that add about a deciliter of milk and one or two table spoons
of flour. I am using almond milk and buckwheat flour, but any milk and flour will do. Pour
the mixture into the muffin form. Since I have the silicone form I don't have to use
the paper muffin cups. But go ahead and use those if you have them. Leave the muffins
aside for a minute and cut the veggies of your choice into small pieces. I have some
pepper, tomato and a zucchini. You can also put in mushrooms, carrots, spinach or any
other vegetables of your choice. Throw the veggie pieces into the muffin mixture – as
much or as little as you like. I like to be quite generous with vegetables so I am putting
in loads of them. Put the muffins in the oven and bake at about 320 degrees Fahrenheit for
20 minutes. These muffins are so yummy and healthy and you can have them hot or cold.
Make them the day before and then take them to school or work. I added some grapes, goji
berries and almonds to my lunch box as well. The egg muffins are also nice as a little
snack at home. In the fridge they will last you up to 3 to 4 days. A tasty and nutritious
lunch for school.
A great lunch idea on the go is a salad in a jar. The options here are endless so use
whatever salad you like or happen to have in the fridge. I'm going to use some cherry
tomatoes – these are so sweet and good. I also like to add a lot of peppers, I have
a yellow and an orange one. I will also add some cucumber to my salad. Finally I am cutting
some feta cheese cubes and now it's time to throw all of that goodness into a jar! You
can make this salad the day before school and then just grab it in the morning. Especially
if you are not using leafy greens in your salad like me. Drizzle with a bit of olive
oil and a splash of lemon juice for the dressing. You can throw this salad in your school bag
and have it ready for when your tummy gets hungry. I eat salad for lunch almost every
day and I love how it fills you up but it is also a light meal. Heavy lunches sometimes
make me feel tired and without energy for the rest of the day. A nice salad like this
will instead make you feel refreshed and full of energy.
Next we're making this delicious spelt bread sandwich! I am going to show you how I make
the most tasty and quick bread from scratch. Put five hundred grams of spelt flour into
a bowl. I am using a mix of finely and coarsely ground flour. Add a tablespoon of baking soda,
a teaspoon of sugar, I am using coconut sugar, a pinch of salt, two table spoons of olive
oil, juice of half a lemon and 5,5 deciliters of water. Mix this thoroughly until all the
ingredients are evenly combined. Pour the mixture into a bread form. Sprinkle with some
sunflower seeds and put it in the oven. Bake for an hour at 320 degrees Fahrenheit. This
bread only takes 10 minutes of your time and is just so much healthier than the ones you
buy in a supermarket, which normally have too much salt added plus all the preservatives
and other nasty stuff. Since I learned this recipe from my boyfriend's mom almost a year
ago, I never bought bread again, trust me. I always bake it myself. Cut two slices of
bread and make yourself a nice tasty sandwich. I like to spread some butter on one piece
and then add some lettuce, turkey slices, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese plus pickles
which are like my favorite thing in the whole world. And that's it, a delicious spelt bread
sandwich. Into my lunch box I also added some red currants and blueberries. A super tasty
lunch for school or work. Yum yum. And here you have an example of an epic fail while
filming. Anyway this was my healthier twist on a sandwich that you really need to try!
Now let's make a little lunchable or tapas inspired lunch box. First I am going to show
you how to make these yummy ham rolls. Take some ham or turkey slices and spread on some
brie cheese. Put on a few rocket leaves. Roll the ham like this and secure it with a toothpick.
These rolls are so tasty, and perfect for a snack, lunch or even a party. You can make
them in advance and store them in a fridge in an air tight container. In my lunch box
I am putting a cracker, three turkey rolls and then I also decided to add some veggies.
So here I am cutting carrots into thin sticks. Do the same with cucumbers and put all of
these vitamins into a lunch box. We're not finished yet – here are some dried apricots
and cashew nuts. My mouth water while I am just looking at all of this goodness. This
lunch is great for on the go as it contains so many little snacks that you can have during
the day when you get a bit hungry. You can also add some cherry tomatoes, cheese sticks
or whatever you prefer. If you make yourself a nice lunch box filled with healthy stuff
that you actually love, you definitely won't be craving a pica or chocolate bars from the
vending machine.
Lastly we are making a super tasty tuna wrap, which is just so good, trust me. What you
need is some cheese, cherry tomatoes, olives and pickles all cut into small pieces, plus
some canned tuna, mayonnaise and a tortilla. Put everything into a bowl.. except the tortilla
obviously and mix well. If you want to make this healthier you can use the whole wheat
tortilla and you can skip the mayo, but I think this combination is just so good so
I am totally having it. No regrets. Put some mixture in the center of tortilla and wrap
it up. You can cut it in half if you want and see how tasty this looks. In the box I
am also adding some strawberries and two pieces of dark chocolate for the desert. Again, you
can prepare this lunch in advance so in the morning you just grab your lunch box and you
are good to go. Another little idea - make this tuna mixture and instead of putting it
in the tortilla use it as a topping for pasta. You get the most delicious pasta salad ever,
and if you want a bit healthier version try using spelt pasta instead of the usual wheat
one. So good, I promise!
These were my ten healthy lunch and breakfast recipes. I hope you will try them out and
will like them as much as I do. Let me know which recipe is your favorite and don't forget
to give the video some love if you want more tutorials like this. Thank you so much for
stopping by, I love you guys and I'll talk to you soon. Bye!
Eating healthy on the go is not easy. Usually when in a hurry we end up snacking on chocolate
bars, pizza slices and other fast food options. Take some time today and make yourself a good
nutritious breakfast or lunch for tomorrow. You will feel so much better, fresh and energized...
ready to tackle the world!
