Berry Breakfast Bowl

Another really simple breakfast dish here (can you tell I am NOT a morning person?) This is again really filling and the addition of the chia seeds on top add a element of crunch to the texture, similar to that of the blackberry pips, as well as being all-round good guys nutrition-wise. They can be counted towards one of your 2 x HEB allowances (you can have 30g as 1 HEB portion, and this is only 10g worth, so you can have some later on a salad or split it with 2/3 of another nuts or seed allowance across the day). Alternatively, you could count the seeds as 2 syns.


As with all recipes and meal plans on the blog I have highlighted the protein sources (P foods) in red, the speed (S) foods in green, healthy extra allowances in blue and syns, with syn values in brackets in orange. 

Berry Breakfast Bowl

Serves 1 - Syn-free if using 1 x HEB allowance (2 syns if not)

3 tbsp quark
15 fresh raspberries (or 2 tbsp of frozen raspberries) 
10 fresh blackberries
10g chia seeds

In your breakfast bowl, crush the raspberries and 6 of the blackberries with a fork - add a splash of water if the fruit are still firm rather than squishy.

Spoon in the quark and mix thoroughly until it is all combined. Watch out for the quark remaining unmixed at the bottom as its thick texture means it can sometimes hide!

Sprinkle over the other blackberries and the chia seeds before serving.
