Soft Coconut Ciambellone:
Ciambellone is the typical breakfast cake, at least in my family’s home in Italy. I love to prepare different types of ciambellone and enjoy it in the morning with a good coffee or a cup of green tea.
Pumpkin and Walnut Focaccia | Focaccia Dolce al profumo di Zucca e Noci
Pumpkin and Walnut Focaccia:
Breakfast is my favourite meal, I love to start my day with a freshly squeezed lemon juice, a good workout, followed by a nourishing and sweet breakfast. At the moment I’m back home, in Italy, and I’m baking almost everyday a big variety of cakes and breads for my friends and family. This Pumpkin Focaccia is perfect for a sweet but healthy breakfast, because pumpkin is naturally rich in antioxidants vitamins such as: vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C.
My favourite Chia Parafait | Il Mio Pudding di Chia Preferito
My Favourite Chia Parfait :
I love Chia pudding because it keeps me full for 4-5 hours which is perfect when I need a nourishing breakfast and I know I will have to keep on going until lunch time. The recipe I’m sharing with you today is quite easy and you can prepare in the evening and leave it in the fridge overnight. For this recipe I used a good amount of cinnamon that can really help to balance blood sugar levels, it is also loaded with antioxidants and it helps the body to fight infections and repair tissue damages.
Banana and Cacao Smoothie | Frullato di Banana e Cacao
Banana and Cacao Smoothie :
Now that the weather is getting colder I prefer to nourish myself with cozy and sweet meals like my Warm Berry Porridge. But sometimes I wake up later than usual and I have to prepare a quick breakfast before running to work or to school. I simply love this banana and cacao smoothie because it has a very “chocolatey” taste, sometimes I even prepare it in the afternoon when I need a quick and healthy snack. I added also some almond butter which is a wonderful source of plant-based protein and vitamin E, that will make your skin glow.
Warm Berry Porridge | Porridge ai Frutti Rossi
Warm Berry Porridge:
In London, the porridge season has officially started. Even if I truly love to have a fresh smoothie in the morning, when the weather gets colder and the sky is grey, I’ll rather have a warm and cozy porridge packed with vitamins and minerals. For this porridge I normally use blueberries, raspberries and blackberries mixed together. Berries are a very good source of vitamin C, that will boost your Immune System.
Healthy Granola | La Granola di Meri
Healthy Granola :
I normally like to have Porridge for breakfast, I love to wake up early in the morning and prepare it while sipping my cup of Espresso. Now that the weather is super warm, I’ll rather have a fresh smoothie or my home made Granola with yoghurt and honey. My Granola is made with nuts and seeds. Nuts and Seeds are a good source of plant-based protein that will make you feel satisfied and fullfilled.
Pre-Workout Smoothie | Frullato Pre-Allenamento
Pre-workout Smoothie :
I really enjoy a good workout early in the morning. I usually go for a spin or pilates class or for a jog in the park, it makes me feel very good and energised for the entire day. In winter I normally prepare a good porridge before my workout but since the weather has been so nice I switch to fresh and easy smoothies. For this smoothie I added spinach as it is rich in iron, vitamin K, vitamin A, calcium and potassium. Spinach can really improve the quality of our blood and our vitality.
The Perfect Pinky Smoothie | Il Frullato Perfetto in Rosa
The Perfect Pinky Smoothie :
I love smoothies, especially for brekafast. I find it very satisfying yet fast and easy to prepare. Sometimes I even carry it on my way to the gym and have ita s a post-workout breakfast. This fresh and tasty smoothie is perfect to start a sunny and hot Summer day. I used to prepare it everyday when I was in California last year, my brothers simply loved it.
My Favorite Smoothie | Il mio Frullato Preferito
My favorite smoothie :
I know I have been quiet for the past two weeks but I went back home for Easter and I couldn’t cook as much as I wanted too. I came back to London a few days ago, and I moved to a new flat, which is simply perfect! My new kitchen is much better than the old one and today I finally started to cook again.
The recipe that I am sharing with you is very simple, you can prepare it in the morning and have it on the way to the office or to school. I like to eat my smoothies with a spoon rather than drinking it but you can add a little bit of water to my recipe and it becomes immediately more liquid.
This is seriously my favorite fast and easy smoothie, I used pineapple, which is a really good source of vitamins C and A. In addition a cup of pineapple contains calcium, magnesium, manganese and potassium.
The Perfect Chia Pudding | Il Pudding di Chia Perfetto
The Perfect Chia Pudding :
Today I am going to share with you my favourite fast and easy breakfast. This recipe is perfect because you can prepare it the night before and enjoy it in the morning when you need a fast and easy meal. I usually make it when I have class at 9 am or when I have to catch an early morning flight. I love to prepare also my own homemade almond milk, but you can simply buy it , just make sure it doesn’t have any added sugars. I used also Chia seeds, which is a real Superfood, in fact it contains loads of minerals , such as : Manganese, Magnesium and Phosphorus. It is also very low in calories but rich in fiber and protein. 28 grams of Chia seeds contain 11 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein.
