Gut Health Breakfast Buddha Bowl
Not only are Buddha Bowls an excuse to throw in as many high-fibre, colourful, whole foods as you can, but they are also one of the easiest most nutritious dishes to assemble. Buddha bowls are often on menus as a savoury dish, but I’ve created my favourite breakfast bowl packed with live yoghurt, nuts, seeds, low glycaemic fruit, and spices. This is incredibly nourishing for your gut and will keep you full all morning as it’s packed with fibre, protein, and healthy fats and devoid of any processed, nutrient deficient ingredients. I’ve set out my ingredients below but get creative with nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, stewed apples, berry compote, nut butters, tahini, ground flax/chia, spices, powders, superfood add-ons (e.g. cacao nibs, goji berries etc).
Servings: 1 Time: 5-10 minutes
Ingredients
3-4 tbsp live full-fat Greek or coconut yoghurt
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
½ apple, sliced
1 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
1 tbsp walnuts, roughly chopped
1 tbsp almond butter (or any nut butter)
2 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp ground flaxseed
2 tsp ground chia seed
1 tsp cacao nibs
1 tbsp hemp seeds
Drizzle tahini
Method
1. Choose your favourite low-sided bowl and spoon the live yoghurt into the centre and fan it out across the base slightly using the back of a spoon.
2. Arrange the sliced kiwi and sliced apple around the yoghurt then spoon on the pumpkin seeds, walnuts and almond butter.
3. Finally sprinkle on the cinnamon, ground flax/chia, hemp seed and cacao nibs (I love doing this in a line for the aesthetics but any way will do!)
4. Drizzle a little tahini over the apple and enjoy!
