V soboto sem se pogovarjala s prijateljico. Beseda je nanesla o kosilu in tem, kdaj postaneš lačen, nato pa sva nekako prišli do pogovora o najinih jutranjih rutinah. Presenečeno sem jo pogledala, ko je omenila, da ona ne je zajtrka oz. je to odvisno od tega, kdaj mora biti na delu. Če je to zgodaj zjutraj, potem zajtrk spusti, ker je raje 15 minut dlje v postelji, kot pa, da bi si pripravila zajtrk. Jaz pa sem v šoku odgovorila: “Moj jutranji zagon, da vstanem iz postelje, mi da ravno misel na to, kaj bom jedla za zajtrk.”

Zajtrka nikoli ne izpustim, še takrat, ko zelo pozno vstanem si privoščim “brunch” stil zajtrka. Če sem na tesnem s časom, zajtrk pojem med tem, ko peljem psa na jutranji sprehod. V eni roki povodec, v drugi jabolko in že sem na grajskem hribu. Za zajtrk si zelo rada naredim jed, ki jo predstavljam danes. V originalu sem tak zajtrk prvič poskusila na delovno-motivacijskem vikendu, kjer ga je sodelavec večer prej pripravil za šestnajst lačnih ust. Od takrat naprej je pogosto na mojem jedilniku, saj je enostaven za pripravo in odličen tako pozimi kot poleti.

BOMBASTIČEN ZAJTRK

1 porcija

SESTAVINE:

4 žlice ovsenih kosmičev

1 žlica kokosove moke

6 mandljev

2 koščka temne čokolade (15 g)

1 žlica mandljev v lističih

1 dl mleka

PRIPRAVA:

Večer pred zajtrkom:

Z nožem nasekljamo čokolado in mandlje. Z sekljanjem z nožem bomo dobili boljšo in bolj hrustljavo teksturo, kot če bi jih mleli z sekljalnikom.

Vse suhe sestavine (razen mandljev v lističih) damo v skledico iz katere bomo zjutraj jedli zajtrk. Zalijemo z mlekom in premešamo. Po vrhu posujemo mandlje v lističih. Pokrijemo s krožnikom ali folijo in postavimo na hladno. Lahko v hladilnik, jaz pa ga zdaj, ko je mraz, postavim kar na balkon.

Zjutraj: Odkrijemo. Po želji lahko dodamo še mleko ali jogurt, cimet ali sveže sadje in uživamo v hitrem zajtrku.

Seveda ima ta zajtrk različne verzije. Meni je super, ko je zajtrk že pripravljen in ko je vse kar potrebujem le še žlica. Zelo nasiti, kokos in čokolada pa sta okusa, ki zelo zapolnita praznino ovsenih kosmičev. Lahko se tudi igrate z okusi in poskušate še druge kombinacije sestavin. Zaenkrat je moja verzija bombastičnega zajtrka taka, z veseljem pa sprejmem še kakšno novo idejo za kombinacije okusov z ovsenimi kosmiči.

*Ta zajtrk lahko pripravimo tudi v plastični posodici ali steklenem kozarcu za vlaganje in ga odnesemo s sabo po opravkih za malico.

** Boljši je, če stoji čez noč. Če uporabljate oluščene ovsene kosmiče, si lahko ta zajtrk zamešate tudi zjutraj, vendar ne bo tako okusen, kot tisti, ki je nekaj ur stal.

Bombastic Bounty Breakfast

I met up with a friend on Saturday evening. We were talking about eating lunch and about the time of the day when we get really hungry. So we kinda got to talking about breakfast. I was very surprised when she told me that she usually doesn’t eat breakfast and that her eating breakfast depends on the time she has to be at work. If it’s early in the morning, than she skips breakfast and stays in bed for another 15 minutes. My response was: “My drive to get out of bed in the morning is based on thinking about breakfast and what I’m going to eat.” Apparently we are so alike but so different.

I always eat breakfast. Even when I wake up really late, I eat a brunch type of breakfast. If my timing is tight, than I eat while I take the dog out for a morning walk. A leash in one hand, an apple in the other and I’m already up the castle hill. I love making the breakfast I’m showing you today. I tried it first when my college made it for 16 of us and I have been making it ever since. It’s easy to make and it’s great in the winter time and also in the summer.

BOMBASTIC BOUNTY BREAKFAST

1 portion

INGREDIENTS:

4 tbs of roll oatmeal

1 tbs of dried coconut

6 almonds

2 pieces of dark chocolate (15 g)

1 tbs of thinly sliced almonds

1 dl milk

PROCESS:

The morning before breakfast:

Chop the almonds and the chocolate with the knife. I recommend chopping it with a knife because the structure is more crunchy than by doing it with a chopping machine.

Put all the dry ingredients (except for the thinly sliced almonds) into a cereal bowl. Pour in the milk and mix it. Put the thinly sliced almonds on top and cover with a plate or with some foil. Put it somewhere cold to rest. You can put it into the fridge. I myself put it out on my balcony now that it’s winter time.

In the morning: Put the lid or plate off. If you want you can add some more milk, yoghurt, cinnamon or fresh fruit and enjoy a quick breakfast.

Off course there are different varieties of this kind of dish. I love the fact that the breakfast is already done and waiting for you. All you need is a spoon and there you have it. It keeps you full while the chocolate and the coconut fill the blank taste of the oatmeal. You can play with different ingredients. This is my version for now, but I gladly accept some new suggestions and ideas for this kind of breakfast. Hope you all try this simple dish out.

*You can make this breakfast in a plastic container and take it to work or eat is as a snack.

** It is better if you leave it to rest during the night. If you are using the plain oatmeal you can mix it with milk in the morning, but it won’t be as tasty as the one that was resting for a few hours.
