I’ve always been a big fan of breakfasts! I like to make sure that my first meal of the day is supportive, tasty and – you know me – as pretty and appetizing as possible. After all, we eat with our eyes too!
As a little anecdote, when I was still living at home with my mother, she would sometimes take photos of my morning creations and send them to her friends, because she couldn’t believe I’d go for such elaborate breakfast options, even during the week! It’s true: I’m willing to get up 10 minutes earlier to ensure a nice, healthy breakfast, but I know that’s not the case for everyone. That’s why I’ve come up with a few tips and tricks that will enable you to create truly satisfying breakfasts in no time. And you’ll see: enjoying breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated!

 

MY SUGGESTIONS

1. Prepare your extras in advance.
Whipped tofu, granola, caramelized nuts: some items take longer to prepare and aren’t always compatible with busy mornings! To make life easier, I recommend preparing them ahead of time, when you have the chance. For example, you can take advantage of the weekend to concoct a little homemade jam, which you can simply spread on slices of bread or pancakes in the morning! I suggest my Express Strawberry Jam. I always have a jar in the fridge!
2. Don’t underestimate the power of frozen fruit!
Frozen fruit is super convenient. It’s one of my must-haves for quick breakfasts; I always make sure I have some on hand.
I often use them in my smoothies, oatmeals and to make express jams. Truly a must!
3. Build a beautiful collection of bowls and plates.
I think one of my favorite parts of preparing a meal is choosing my dishes. Eating from a pretty bowl or plate that I like seems to make my recipe even better! I usually buy my crockery when I’m travelling (when there’s room left in my suitcase…) or in second-hand shops, where you can really find little wonders!
4. Try cooking your eggs differently for a change!
Scrambled, poached, mirrored, turned: don’t be afraid to vary the way you prepare your eggs! It’s a great way to treat yourself to something new, without making your breakfast too long.
5. Mix the sweet and salty.
Combining sweet and savoury flavours is always a winner. Adding a pinch of fleur de sel as a garnish to a sweet recipe, for example, can be enough to enhance all its flavors. That’s what I chose to do with mymaple-whipped tofu tartine, and the result is de-li-cious!
6. Develop your own basic topping kit!
Whether topping a smoothie, chia pudding or oatmeal, I love having fun with toppings! It’s an opportunity to add wow, flavour and protein to make our breakfast not only more appealing, but also more nourishing. Personally, here are the items I (almost) always have on hand:
– Hemp seeds
– Walnut butter
– Nuts to taste
– Pomegranate
– Lemon and lime (for juice and zest!)
– Maple flakes or sugar
7. Prepare your lunch base in advance.
Pancakes on a weekday morning? Yes, you can! Prepare the mixture in advance, then simply bake the desired quantity of pancakes at breakfast time. You’ll save a lot of time, and enjoy yourself just as much! That’s what I like to do with my protein pancakes recipe. You can also prepare other breakfast bases in advance, such as chia puddings and overnight oatmeal. All you have to do is add the toppings in the morning, and enjoy!
8. Breakfast trays: my new obsession!
Breakfast trays are one of my most recent discoveries. I have fun incorporating many different elements into my lunch, and placing them on a “tray”-style plate seems to make it even more exciting! Here are a few images of my latest creations, to inspire you:
