If you are following a weight loss plan, or want to know how to prepare a healthy breakfast, keep reading this oatmeal bowl recipe!
We prepared our low-calorie overnight oats with yogurt, fruit, and low-fat, high-protein Greek yogurt. We then mixed in some oats, dates, and superfood acai berry powder. Finally, we topped the bowl with fresh seasonal fruit and bee pollen. Sounds delicious? Well, it is.
And there's more!
A healthy breakfast is made by a balanced combination of carbs, fats, and proteins to support you throughout the day. Our acai breakfast bowl is a nutritious morning meal thanks to:
Greek Style Yogurt, which provides high biological value (HBV) proteins, calcium, and probiotic - gut-friendly bacteria.
Oat, the perfect food for weight loss as it is high in fibres and proteins and helps to control blood sugar levels.
Acai Berries, rich in powerful antioxidants and healthy fats.
Seasonal Fruit like kiwi, with lots of vitamin C.
If you often feel like you don't have time in the morning for a wholesome breakfast, then you are in the right place. Our recipe is quick and easy: all you have to do is pour boiling water over the oats, stir, and add the other ingredients. You can even prepare this acai berry bowl the day before and store it overnight in the fridge.
