Today we're gonna be doing some meal prepping for breakfast.
These are some recipes that are super wholesome.
They're really easy,
you can make them ahead of time.
That way it's just gonna take a couple of minutes to whip together breakfast in the morning
The full breakdown to all of the recipes
we're gonna be making today can be found on the vlog
So I'll leave those things for you in the description box
Remember that our recipes always come in both metric and imperial measurements
so that way everyone can use them and we also always provide a
PDF with our recipes
that way it's really easy for you to refer to when you're cooking in the kitchen and
I want to take a brief moment to thank Wix for partnering with us on today's video.
They are the incredible platform that we use to create and to host the Pick Up Limes website.
I'll chat more about them at the end for now, let's dive into those recipes.
We're starting with a savory recipe first.
The samosa sweet potato breakfast wraps with a tofu scramble
First up we're gonna peel and chop two large
or three smaller sized sweet potatoes
and cut them into 1 centimeter cubes
and we're gonna steam it or boil it in a pot for about 15 minutes
or until they're cooked through.
Meanwhile, we're gonna chop one red onion
and add this to a pan on medium heat with a teaspoon of coconut oil
And we're gonna cook it until it's lightly golden
adding a splash of water as needed to deglaze the pan.
Then we're gonna crumble a block of medium or firm tofu
into the pan with our hands
and add a teaspoon each of turmeric powder
nutritional yeast and garlic powder
and a little sprinkle of salt and pepper and
Give it a stir and cook it for about three to five minutes
Then we can remove it from the heat and add it to a bowl
We'll return the pan to the heat
and add a bit more oil and by now the potatoes should be done cooking
So we're gonna drain it and add it to the pan
stirring and mashing for a couple minutes
Before adding a quarter cup of fresh or frozen peas
and half a teaspoon each of ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder,
dried fenugreek leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper.
All of these spices are optional
so just use whichever ones you have on hand
and give it a stir cook it for a couple minutes
and then remove it from the heat as well
The final ingredient we need to prep for this are just two thinly sliced some bell peppers
and when you're ready to enjoy your wrap
Just add the tofu scramble and the sweet potato mix
to the wrap along with the slight bell peppers and some avocado
And if you like it spicy, some sriracha hot sauce,
or you can also add some spinach or greens
Whatever you'd like.
The wrap can be assembled the night before
and heated in the microwave in the morning
for a quick grab-and-go breakfast
just be sure to add the avocados fresh after it's been heated
and with any extra just store it in the fridge
in airtight containers to enjoy as breakfast
or even lunch for the days that follow.

Next up we're gonna be making these vibrant frozen yogurt breakfast bars
First we're gonna stew a cup of frozen berries on the stove
or in a microwave
Until it's completely soft and cooked through
then set it aside to cool.
Into a food processor
we're gonna add a cup of soft dates with the pits removed
blending it until it's smooth
and then we're gonna add two cups of rolled oats,
1/4 cup of ground flax seeds,
and a cup of almond butter or any other nut butter that you'd like,
and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
then blend it all up stopping to scrape down the sides as needed
until everything is well combined.
We're then gonna transfer this mixture to a parchment lined baking dish
and evenly distribute it along the base
and using our hands we're gonna press the mixture down as firmly as possible
and you can also use the back of a spoon to make sure
it's as densely packed as you can make it
Then we're gonna pour on top one and a half cups of plant-based yogurt.
Spread it out evenly
and then dot the yogurt with the stewed berries
and use a knife or fork to create these
beautiful swirls in the yogurt.
When you're all done you're gonna pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours
or until it's solid enough that you can cut it
and when you remove it from the freezer,
let it sit for a couple minutes
so you can easily remove it from the dish.
Then cut it up into squares or bars
or whatever size you think you might like.
This recipe requires no preparation in the morning.
It's just grab and go
and in fact, it's even better if you do let it sit and thaw for about five minutes first
so that the yogurt softens a bit.
It makes for a lighter and cooler breakfast for these spring and summer months.
We can store these bars in an airtight container in the freezer
with some parchment paper to keep them separated
and just grab it to go whenever you're pressed for time

The final recipe is one of my absolute favorites.
You've heard me refer to this one in a few videos before
but I've never showed you how to make it in a video.
So by popular request,
here it is
probably the healthiest and most delicious granola
you'll ever make.
We're gonna begin by adding 3 cups of rolled oats to a large bowl
and then we're gonna coarsely chop 1 cup of any nuts In any combination that you'd like.
Here, I use almond and cashews but pecans and hazelnuts are also incredible.
We'll add this to the bowl along with half of a cup of raisins
and a quarter cup each of dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds,
sunflower seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut and half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Moving our way over to a food processor
we're gonna add a cup of soft dates with the pits removed,
half a cup of tahini and three tablespoons of water
and we're gonna blend it until it's smooth and creamy.
And if you don't have a food processor, you can just mash the dates with a fork instead.
We're then gonna add this to the bowl and give the whole thing a mix with a spoon
or you can use your hands until it's thoroughly combined
and then spread the mixture onto a baking tray,
spreading it out evenly and pressing it down a bit.
Then bake it in the oven at 150 Celsius or 300 Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes,
stopping once to give it a flip.
The more you do mix this, the less clusters there's going to be,
so just keep that in mind,
and we're then gonna pop it back into the oven until it's lightly golden.
When you do take it out, let it cool completely
before adding it to an airtight jar for storage.
This granola can be stored for about two to three weeks,
but I can almost guarantee you're going to finish it much sooner than that.
When you're ready to serve it for breakfast, just add it to a bowl
with whatever fruits you like
and pour over some plant milk for a super wholesome breakfast cereal.
Alternatively, you could add it to a bowl with some plant-based yogurt
and some stewed berries or use fresh berries.
It's perfect to enjoy at home or take with you on the go.
You can always use the granola to top smoothie bowls with.
The options are really endless with this one.
It takes just a couple minutes to whip together
breakfast when you've made it ahead of time
and it's something to feel really good about too.
It's a granola made with whole food Ingredients
and no added sugars or oils.
I hope you enjoyed these breakfasts that we've shared today
and if you do get a chance to make any of them
be sure to tag us on Instagram so that we can see.
Again, full breakdown to the recipes can be found on the blog.
Those links are in the description box below.
And while you're at our website anyway, take a look around and see what you think.
I actually created the whole Pick Up Limes website myself, believe it or not
Even though I have zero experience in web development or coding or design
But with Wix you need no experience at all. In order to create yourself a very professional looking site
I always recommend it to anybody who's been interested in creating their own blog or online store
Because it's really really easy. You can just use some of their designer templates customize it
However, you'd like and the best part is it's completely free to try for an unlimited amount of time
So if you've ever been interested in creating your own online presence, and you don't know where to begin
I do recommend Wix I'll leave their link for you in the description box as well. I think that's it for today
