Refreshing, fruity, satisfying - Summery Breakfast Recipe: Beige Smoothie-Bowl
Muesli, Marmalade Bread or Rührei – what do you prefer for breakfast? The possibilities are endless, yet people often tend to eat the same thing every day. But in the summer, there are numerous refreshing alternatives that bring some variation to the breakfast table.
A Smoothie Bowl Refreshes and Cool Down
When the thermometer climbs above the 20 degree mark in the morning hours, a refreshing Smoothie Bowl is just what's needed to keep a cool head. Plus, it provides us with ample energy. Starting the day with a healthy, balanced breakfast sets you up twice as well for the day. The body is optimally supplied, efficient, and resilient.
The base of this Smoothie Bowl consists of frozen berries, oats, yogurt, and a banana. While the berries give the recipe its distinctive creamy consistency and freshness, as well as numerous antioxidants and fiber that keep blood sugar levels constant and provide long-lasting energy, oats and banana keep us full thanks to complex carbohydrates.
Oats contain antioxidants and are rich in soluble fiber, which helps maintain a constant blood sugar level and thus provides sustained energy. Bananas, on the other hand, bring a natural sweetness due to the contained fruit sugar and contribute to the creamy consistency. Additionally, they are an excellent source of potassium and provide vitamin B6, fiber, carbohydrates, and vitamin C.
Greek yogurt is the protein component of the summer breakfast. It provides us with a large portion of proteins and contains probiotics, which can support the intestinal flora.
Nutrient-rich, filling, and balanced
Rounded off with flax seeds and honey. While flax seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, which help maintain a constant blood sugar level, high-quality honey contains more than 240 healthy nutrients and even has antibacterial properties.
By the way: Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in the development of nerve and brain cells and contribute to better blood flow – so a breakfast with flax seeds supports brain function directly.
The toppings complete the picture. The limits of your imagination are set here. Fresh berries, banana, or even coconut flakes are particularly delicious. Oats, granola, or coconut chips provide a crunch and keep you full even longer. Nuts are ideal as toppings, as they contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and a great contrast to the cool, creamy Smoothie Bowl.
So: Let your creativity run wild and find your favorite combination.
