1. Granola with Yogurt for the Lazy Ones

Ingredients:

• Yogurt: Plain or Greek yogurt
• Granola: Homemade to control sugar and oil, or high-quality granola from Chus
• Toppings: Fresh fruits, nuts, natural sweeteners (honey, maple syrup...)

Instructions:

1. Scoop about 1 cup of plain or Greek yogurt into a bowl.
2. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of granola over the yogurt. The crunchy granola contrasts nicely with the creamy yogurt.
3. Top with fresh fruits, nuts, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetness. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for a cool treat.

While this dish is very nutritious, moderation is key. The recommended daily yogurt intake is 1-2 cups, and granola is 1-3 small servings to avoid excess sugar and calories. Overeating granola can also lead to weight gain and digestive issues like bloating and constipation.

2. Banana and Nuts with Nutrient-Rich Yogurt

If you're looking for a tasty and nutritious breakfast, nothing beats the perfect combination of bananas, nuts, and yogurt.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup unsweetened yogurt
• A few chia seeds
• Almonds (or walnuts, cashews, or hazelnuts)
• 1 tsp honey / banana syrup (optional)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)
• A few berries (optional, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

Instructions:

1. Soak 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in 100ml of water for 10-15 minutes until they expand.
2. Peel and slice the banana.
3. Pour unsweetened yogurt into a bowl, add soaked chia seeds, and mix well.
4. Arrange banana slices on top of the yogurt and sprinkle with almonds (or your chosen nuts). Add berries for extra flavor and decoration. Drizzle with honey or banana syrup, and sprinkle with cinnamon for a warm, fragrant touch.

Bananas are a great source of carbohydrates, boosting energy. They are also rich in potassium, helping to maintain electrolyte balance and support muscle function.

3. Avocado and Egg Toast for a Long, Energetic Day

Ingredients:

• 1 avocado
• 2 eggs
• 2 slices of bread (sandwich bread can be used)
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• A few cilantro leaves
• Salt, pepper
• A little cooking oil

Instructions:

1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Chop it finely and mix with washed cilantro. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of oil, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Mash the avocado to blend the flavors.
2. Toast the bread at 170°C for about 2 minutes until golden and crispy.
3. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Boil 1/2 liter of water, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. When the water starts to boil, carefully drop the eggs in. Poach for about 2 minutes, then drain on a paper towel.
4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread. Carefully place the poached eggs on top. Sprinkle with a bit of pepper. Enjoy your quick and easy breakfast!

4. Pancakes with Honey for a Sweet Start to the Day

Mornings often bring hope and new energy. And there's nothing better than starting the day with delicious, sweet honey pancakes that melt away all stress.

Ingredients:

• 150g all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 140ml unsweetened milk
• 10g granulated sugar
• 15g unsalted butter
• 30ml honey or coconut nectar
• 5g baking powder
• 2g salt
• 2ml liquid vanilla

Instructions:

1. Sift flour into a large bowl. Add baking powder, salt, and sugar, then whisk to combine.

5. Bread with Jam or Nut Butter in Under 5 Minutes

2. Spread peanut butter evenly on one slice. For a chocolate flavor, use chocolate peanut butter.
