Watch how to make this ridiculous bowl of cereal
I’ve been eating Bran Flakes for donkey’s years but in an attempt to balance my carb-heavy bowl**, I started adding yoghurt, nuts and pea protein. It makes a huge difference in terms of staying full and overall satisfaction.
My bowl is now made up of:
- 50g 40g Bran Flakes or All Bran
- 50-80g full-fat yoghurt
- ½ a banana, sliced
- A large handful of chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts)
- 10g 15g pea protein
- A drizzle of peanut butter (I’m still squeezing Whole Earth peanut butter on everything I can)
- A little milk
Extras if I have them These have now made it into every bowl:
- A handful of blueberries, strawberries or raspberries
- Psyllium husk
- Sunflower and pumpkin seeds
- Chia seeds
I’m not qualified in nutrition in any way but for me it ticks boxes like: fibre, protein, fat and various micronutrients from the fruit. Plus, and I never thought I’d say this about a bowl of Bran Flakes, it’s really pretty.
As always, credit to the Arnold Schwarzenegger newsletter, for planting the seed to up the protein in my breakfast.
* It was weekday friendly but I kept adding extras. Lining up the ingredients and treating them like a production line makes it come together faster.
** Not carb-bashing, I will always love carbs.
