3. Smoothies

Smoothies are one of the best ways to start your day, offering a quick and delicious way to load up on fruits and veggies. Over the years, I’ve learned that adding a handful of spinach is a game-changer—its flavor is barely noticeable, but it adds a serious nutritional boost! Want to go even further? Toss in some superfoods like hemp seeds, nut butter, matcha, or maca powder for that extra health kick that’ll leave you feeling energized.

For ultimate convenience, prep your smoothie the night before! Store it in the fridge overnight for a ready-to-blend breakfast, or make it even easier by prepping individual smoothie packs. Simply portion out your fruits, veggies, and superfoods into containers for each smoothie. Store them in the freezer, and when morning comes, just grab a pack, blend it with almond milk or juice, and voilà—instant goodness!

Smoothies are totally customizable, so you can mix and match your favorite flavors and superfoods. Plus, they’re an easy way to stay on track with your health goals, all while enjoying a refreshing start to your day!

5. Banana Bread

Fairtrade Banana Bread: A Breakfast Favorite

The first time I baked this banana bread was for a Fairtrade Fortnight breakfast feast, and it’s been a staple ever since. It’s ridiculously easy to make, naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and a touch of honey—no refined sugar in sight!

What makes it even better? It’s just as delicious the next day, toasted and slathered with butter or nut butter. A wholesome, feel-good way to start your morning!

The Story Behind My Breakfast Banana Bread

The inspiration for this banana bread came from a photo in Hungry Healthy Happy—Danni’s version, topped with peanut butter, was simply irresistible.

I wanted to create something a little different: a lightly sweet, dairy-free, and less cakey take on the classic loaf. A version that could be easily sliced, toasted, and generously slathered with peanut butter—especially the Fairtrade organic kind from Equal Exchange.

These days, I go for my own homemade peanut butter, but the result is the same: a hearty, wholesome banana bread that’s perfect for breakfast!

This version keeps things light on fats, using just a touch of heart-healthy olive oil and a single egg, which, when divided into slices, contributes minimal saturated fat.

If you’re looking for an even healthier twist, try sourdough banana bread—naturally fermented, completely fat- and sugar-free, and entirely plant-based. It takes a little more time (think kneading, proving, and a trusty sourdough starter), but the result is a deeply flavorful, gut-friendly loaf.
