The festivities are behind us and a whole year of wonderful possibilities ahead of us. Naturally, this is just the right time to hit a big reset button and start off with some new healthy habits. With breakfast being the most important meal of the day, we are setting aside a few minutes today so we can have breakfast all sorted out when another chaotic workday morning commences tomorrow. As Benjamin Franklin wisely worded it, by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 1 serving / 0.58 EUR)

For the dry mix:

1 cup rolled oats (0.13 EUR)

1 tsp brown sugar (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp cinnamon (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp ground flax seed (0.03 EUR)

Handful of raisins (0.07 EUR)

Small pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Wet ingredients:

1 tbsp peanut butter (0.13 EUR)

Hot water (–)

Topping:

Handful of walnuts (0.13 EUR)

METHOD:

Pack the dry ingredients in a small container and seal. When ready to eat, transfer to a bowl, add a tablespoon of peanut butter and pour hot water on top. I always aim to pour water directly on peanut butter so it melts more easily. Stir for a minute or two until everything is well incorporated and add a splash more of water if needed. Allow to sit for about five minutes. Stir, toss walnuts on top and enjoy.

I carry these little dry breakfast packs to work with me to assemble and eat there. I also keep peanut butter and walnuts in my office desk. Peanut butter and any kind of nuts are just awesome to have around as an emergency snack. Naturally, you can go wild here and add any kind of nuts, seeds, dried fruits and spices you like. The possibilities are just endless. Also, I use a mix of instant and old fashioned oats to have more texture, but you’re welcome to use up whichever is your favorite. Prepare now and start the work week and your year right!

Proslave i slavlja su iza nas, a cijela godina divnih mogućnosti pred nama. Naravno, ovo je baš pravo vrijeme da stisnemo veliki reset gumb i startamo sa novim zdravim navikama. Pošto je doručak najvažniji obrok u danu, danas ćemo izdvojiti koju minutu i pripremiti si doručak, da smo spremni kada sutra uletimo u još jedno kaotično jutro kojim počinje radni tjedan. Kako je Benjamin Franklin mudro sročio, neuspješna priprema je priprema za neuspjeh.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 1 porciju / 4,36 kn)

Za suhi miks:

1 šalica zobenih pahuljica (1,00 kn)

1 žličica smeđeg šećera (0,10 kn)

1 žličica cimeta (0,50 kn)

1 žličica mljevenih sjemenki lana (0,25 kn)

Pregršt grožđica (0,50 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Mokri sastojci:

1 žlica kikiriki maslaca (1,00 kn)

Vruća voda (–)

Za posipanje:

Pregršt oraha (1,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Spakirajte suhe sastojke u malu posudicu i zatvorite. Kada ste spremni za jelo, preselite suhe sastojke u zdjelicu, dodajte žlicu kikiriki maslaca i zalijte vrućom vodom. Ja uvijek naciljam vodu direktno na kikiriki maslac kako bi se on lakše rastopio. Minutu-dvije miješajte dok se sve ne sjedini, a po potrebi dodajte još mrvicu vode. Ostavite da miruje oko pet minuta. Još jednom promiješajte, posipajte orasima i navalite.

Ja ovakve suhe paketiće sa doručkom nosim sa sobom na posao, pa ih onda tamo do kraja pripremim i klopam. Osim toga, kikiriki maslac i orahe uvijek imam u ladici u uredu jer su i kikiriki maslac i bilo kakvi orašasti plodovi super za imati pri ruci kao brzi i zdravi snack. Naravno, slobodno se tu raspištoljite i u mješavinu dodajte bilo kakve orašaste plodove, sjemenke, sušeno voće i začine. Mogućnosti su stvarno beskrajne. Također, ja sam koristila miks sitnih i krupnih zobenih pahuljica radi zanimljivije teksture, ali vi slobodno upotrijebite one koje su vama najdraže. Pripremite se sada i dobro startajte sa radnim tjednom i ovom godinom!
