Berries + Bananas = Brilliant!
I love this berry bowl because it looks so colourful and is so full of fruit. I absolutely love eating berries because of they taste so good. In the Summer, I use my own berries that I grow to make this recipe. However, in the winter months, I have to buy them from the supermarket.
I buy a lot of frozen fruit because it is more convenient for me, I can defrost as I want it then and don’t have to worry about it going off. I also find it better value for money, I’m all about healthy eating on a budget so try to cut costs where possible.
Contrary to popular belief, frozen fruit is just as good for you as fresh, because it is frozen soon after picking, meaning it loses less of those vital nutrients that you need. But as always, the choice is completely up to you. If you prefer fresh, then use that. it’s all about personal preference.
Ingredients:-
- 1/2 Banana (or 1 mini banana)
- 50g Frozen Rasberries
- 300ml Soya Milk (or any alternative)
- 20g Oats
- 15g Chia Seeds
- 20g Strawberries
- 20g Blueberries
Preparation
- Cut the 1/2 banana in half again, put the majority in a blender and leave some aside for the topping.
- Blend the banana with the frozen raspberries and the soya milk to make a smoothie.
- Add the smoothie mix into a bowl and layer with the oats and chia seeds.
- Top with the strawberries, blueberries and the rest of the banana.
- Serve and enjoy 🙂
The Heath Benefits
This breakfast contains a lot of fruit, and here are some of the health benefits.
Blueberries and raspberries are great antioxidants, that protect us against oxidising agents, and strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C. Bananas are also full of essential vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium and vitamin B6, all very important for the body to function normally.
Oats are a great source of carbs and the chia seeds are a good source of omega 3 fatty acids (the good fat! ). All these ingredients together make this berry bowl the breakfast of champions! And it’s super easy to make.

Tip
If you don’t like the texture of the raw oats, why not add all of these ingredients together into a jar and try it as overnight oats?
