Although a hearty breakfast in the morning will prepare you for the day and fill you up in the short term, not all breakfast recipes are also healthy. Eliminate the high-sugar cornflakes from your diet plan and try our healthy detox alternatives for more energy and a powerful start to a successful day!

Grated apple with tahina

ingredients

• 1 big apple
• freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tsp of each: goji berries, sunflower and pumpkin seeds (soak overnight)
• 1 tbsp. ground flaxseeds
• TAHINA SAUCE
• 1 tbsp. tahina
• 2 tbsp. water
• 1/2 tsp honey/ maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Preparation

After washing, let the berries and seeds drain and save them for later. Now grate the apple and peel with a kitchen grater and immediately drizzle with the lemon juice to avoid brown spots. Sprinkle the grated apple with flaxseeds, goji berries and the seeds. Bring the ingredients of the tahina sauce to a boil in a small pot and gradually add water until you get a liquid consistency. Pour the sauce over the apple mixture and serve.

Lucky cereal with chia seeds and oat flakes

ingredients

• 1/2 cup oats or other cereal flakes
• 1 1/2 cups of nut milk, e.g. almond or hazelnut milk

*a splash of lemon juice

• 4 tbsp. chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons each of sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and goji berries soaked overnight
• 2 tbsp. ground flaxseeds

• a handful of raw cereal mix, dates, or raisins
• some honey, strawberry sauce or maple syrup
• Fresh mint leaves from the garden

Preparation

Mix the oats, milk, lemon juice and chia seeds in a small saucepan or container and mix thoroughly. Then cover and let rest for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 8-12 hours (the mixture can be kept in the fridge for about 4 days).

The next morning, add the seeds and berries to the oatmeal and chia mixture, sprinkle with flaxseed and mix well.

Add yogurt or more nut milk to taste until the desired consistency is reached and wash, clean and cut the fruit. Layer the chia oat mixture and fruit alternately in a bowl or large glass. Finally, drizzle your granola with the granola mix, coconut flakes, some strawberry sauce, honey, fresh mint leaves, or any other topping of your choice.

• 3/4 cup oats
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp. goji berries
• 2 cups filtered water

In a small pot, combine oats, cinnamon, goji berries, water and salt and let these ingredients soak, covered, overnight (or for 8-12 hours). The next morning, bring the oatflake mixture to a boil over high heat while stirring. Then cover, lower the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Divide the mixture into two bowls and add 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds, any amount of nut milk, and fresh berries to each.
