Vegan protein waffle for Valentine's day breakfast

High protein vegan breakfast ideas for Valentine’s Day

Recipes

Valentine’s Day is around the corner. How do you feel about it? Love it, hate it or just ignore it?

If you are in a relationship, do you celebrate it?

If you are not in a relationship, do you just try to ignore it or do you have fun and celebrate it with your friends? After all, it is the celebration of love and we love our family, friends, and children too. That love deserves to be celebrated too.

We usually have a low key little celebration at home with my partner. We might have a nice dinner and later a box of chocolate and champagne together (not healthy I know but we don’t do this every evening). The nice dinner this year is probably not going to happen, as Valentine’s day is on a weekday, and I need to take the kids to after-school classes all afternoon till 7 in the evening. But we’ll see. We can certainly make up for it at the weekend.

A special breakfast might be a good option too.

We all know that antioxidants keep us healthy and we should aim to eat as much of them as possible. You know that, right? Here I show you a mega-yummy breakfast bowl containing the superfood acai berry, which has record amount of antioxidants (twice as much as blueberries) in it. To make this acai smoothie bowl even healthier, I added other ingredients that are rich in vitamins, minerals and healthy fats too. It is a really energizing breakfast that will make you glow 😉

So what is this acai berry? It comes from Brasil, it contains a good amount of vitamin A and C, a lot of fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, zink, magnesium and omega 6 – 9 fatty acids. It is, as most of the berries, a very low calorie fruit. You can sometimes find it frozen in health food shops but much easier to get hold of it in juice or powder form. In this recipe I used a powder. Most of the powders are produced by lyophilization (freeze drying), this way the useful ingredients are preserved.

It is well known that banana makes our smoothies nice and creamy. It is also rich in fiber (no more problem in the loo) and contains tryptophan, which turns into serotonin, our happy hormone, in the body! Do we need more? Ok, maybe some healthy fats would be nice too. That we get from the walnuts and flaxseed. As a bonus, they also make the smoothie creamy and they contain protein as well.

As we know from the equation of healthy eating, leave greens are the healthiest foods in the world. In the form of spinach we have some of them in this smoothies as well. You will not taste it, I promise!
