Hi guys!
Ever wondered why breakfast is considered to be the most important meal of the day?
Breakfast provides a lot of your day’s total nutrient intake. It is full of nutrients like folate, calcium, iron, vitamins and fibre. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to meet their recommended daily intakes of vitamins and minerals than people who don’t.
And we agree, mornings are busy, there is so much to do and so here are 5 easy to cook vegetarian breakfast recipes which will provide all the nourishment you need to stay active and healthy!
Peanut Butter Smoothie
Ingredients Required:
¼ Cup Ground Oats
½ Cup Milk
1 Banana
1 Tsp Peanut Butter
Simply put all the ingredients in a mixer jar and grind it up. Feel free to add 1 Tsp of your favourite nuts or seeds on top. They are great for adding texture. And enjoy!

Now we will start preparing the Mint Chutney.

1 Tsp Chia Seeds

1 Medium-sized Banana (cut into chunks)
½ Medium-sized Apple (cut into chunks)
½ Tsp Cocoa Powder
1 Tbsp Crushed Almonds
We will start by putting the oats and milk in a pan and cooking them up for 5-7 minutes. Feel free to add more milk, if required. Add the cocoa powder and honey and turn off the flame. Take out the oatmeal in a bowl and add fresh cut banana and apple on top. Garnish with crushed almonds and chia seeds. You can choose to put any other nuts, seeds or berries of your choice. Enjoy!
Paneer Bhurji Toast

1 Tbsp Chopped Tomato

Salt to taste
½ Tsp Pepper Powder
¼ Tsp Red Chilli Powder
½ Tsp Fresh Coriander Leaves
2 Slices of Brown Bread
In a heated pan pour some oil and add chopped onion and chopped capsicum. After sauteing for 2 minutes add the tomatoes. Saute for another minute and then add the crushed paneer. Add the dry spices and coriander leaves and cook for a minute. And we are done with the stuffing.
Now we will take two slices of brown bread and spread the prepared stuffing evenly on one bread. Cover with the other slice and place the sandwich back in the same pan to toast it well.
Once the sandwich is toasted from both sides, take it out on a plate and cut it diagonally. Serve with your favourite chutney or any other condiment. And Enjoy!
Oats & Banana Pancake

1 Cup Roasted Oats Powder (dry roast the oats in a pan and blend them into a powder in a mixer)

Mix the dry ingredients first and then add all the wet ingredients. Mix everything together and prepare a batter. The consistency of this batter should not be too runny. If your batter is too thick you can add some more milk. Add the raisins now.
Heat up a flat pan and pour in some butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes on both sides. Take it out on a plate and pour some honey on top. Garnish with some chopped pistachios and enjoy!
