you request – i make a video.
your wish is my command.
and the number one request i’ve been getting is for healthy vegan breakfast ideas.
this is my summer favourite : coconutty berry breakfast bowl with homemade oat milk. i have this every morning at the moment.
making your own oat milk is super easy and crazy cheap, so a good tip for everyone on a budget. also, it’s so healthy with tons of nutrients and good energy. i usually make a lot at once and keep in the fridge, and it’ll last me a few days. the same goes for the coconutty mix, just store it in a glass jar in the fridge for coming breakfasts.

coconutty vegan breakfast bowl with homemade oat milk
oat milk :
200 ml / 0.8 cups oats
about 6 dates, pitted
1600 ml / 7 cups water
coconutty mix :200 ml / 0.8 cups mixed nuts, roughly chopped (here i used cashews, almonds and hazelnuts, but whatever you prefer)
50 ml / ¼ cup shredded coconut
1 tsp cinnamon
breakfast bowl :1/2 apple, diced
1 kiwi, sliced
100 ml frozen berries (here i used black and red currant, just choose your favourite)
oat milk, however much you want
coconutty mix, however much you want

– mix the oats by themselves first, until a fine powder. then add the dates and mix again
– gradually add the water, with just a little at first until all is added to your blender. you can pour through a sieve, cotton kitchen towel, or cheesecloth if you want, but i don’t bother. it’s just easier this way, plus i get all the nutrients from the whole oats. pour into clean glass bottles and keep in the fridge

– toast the nuts, shredded coconut and cinnamon in a dry pan on medium heat for a few minutes until they’re lightly browned and you can smell gorgeous nuttiness in your whole kitchen
– store in the fridge in an airtight container, like a glass jar

– mix apple and kiwi in the middle of a large bowl. add the frozen berries
– pour as much milk as you want on top, sprinkle on some cocnutty mix and enjoy all that summery delightfulness ^^
