Vegan Breakfast - ´Popeye Meets Papaya´ - Choclate Oats W Papaya & Spinach

You´ll have to take my word for it when I say that this strange combination is delicious!

The colour palette is vibrant and uplifting!

Chocolate oats with mashed banana, fresh papay and new zealand spinach.

At first glance it looks like a savoury dish but it´s all sweet. The choclate oats has mashed banana blended in, the papaya is super sweet and juicy and the new zealand spinach is fresh, crisp and has a mild flavour that compliments the choclate oats and sweet papaya.

This is super quick and easy to prepare. I really do love simple breakfasts!

Add greens to breakfast is a great way to get additional nutrients wihtout having to always have salads.

Looks crazy mixed together but the appearance doesn´t diminish the amazing flavours in any way shape or form!

Below are ome nutritional benefits then as always some more food porn pics!

Vegan Breakfast - Banana Boat - Pineapple Oats W Blueberry Mix

A simple super yummy breakfast made of overnights oats which were soaked in freshly blended pineapply juice (incuding pulp) x1 large banana and a sprinkling of cranberry, blueberry and nut mix.

The bananas was super swee. As Costa Rican fruits are so sweet I find that I don`t need to add any sweetner of any kind to my breakfasts or desserts, I let the sweetness of the fruits act as the sugar.

The pineapple that I used to soak the oats in was more than sweet enough and the banana and dried fruit added extra sweetness.

A healthy nourishing and satisfying breakfast that kept me going till late afternoon.

Vegan Receipe - 'Because I'm Sweet Enough' - Overnight Oats - No sweeter!

What do you do when you run out of pineapples?

So in my posts 'Pining' and 'Fruity Date' I feature overnight oats made with fresh pineapple juice including the pulp or with dates blended with water.

On this occasion I had run out of pineapple and dates and since I no longer consumer white or brown sugar I opted to make oats with just water.

I decided to just add fresh chopped papaya and stir through and to my suprised it was delicious!

In fact because the papaya was so sweet it didn't actually need the pineapple or dates method I usually use.

A delicious overnight oats bowl with just the sweetness of the papaya! I will alternate between using just water, blended pineapple and blended dates. Using just water was great as it meant I could bypass blending anything so the overnight oats are even quicker to prepare!

Below are some health benefits compilations of the ingredients.

Raw Vegan Breakfast - 'Mangolicious' - Overnight Oats W Mango Chunks

A variation on my 'Fruity Date' Overnight Oats.

For this overnight oats bowl I blended x6 dates with water and poured the mixture over the dry oats and stirred through. 

The oats where then placed in the fridge over night and then in the morning I stirred the oats which were nice and creamy and then added some freshly chopped mango chunks.

An easy, delicious filling breakfast! Packed full of nutrients, the perfect way to start your day.

Raw Vegan Breakfast - 'Pining' - Pineapple & Papaya Overnight Oats

This is a variation on my 'Fruity Date' overnight oats. 

For this overnight bowl I blended fresh pineapple chunks with a little water and poured the whole mixture (including pulp) onto the oats and stirred through. 

The next morning I added some fresh pineapple chunks and topped with some freshly chopped papaya.

 I judged the amount of freshly blended pineapple to add by how easy it was to mix as I am an eyeballing kind of girl.

 It was easy to mix but not too easy, the most common ratio is 1 cup of water to 1 cup of oats ratio.

I love how quick and easy this breakfast was to prepare. Such a filling, super tasty, raw and nutrious breakfast, a great way to start the day! 

Vegan Receipe - 'Fruity Date' - Overnight Oats wirh Dried Fruit & Nuts

This was first attempt at overnight oats and I was blown away by the result!

I'll be honest and say that overnight oats never appealed to me before but lately it's been calling me to try them and I am so glad I did!

For this overnight oats I blended x6 soft pitted dates with water and poured the mixture over some dried oats and stirred through. I used this in place of plant based milk as I don't drink tea or coffee which means I never buy plant based milks.

My current way of eating and the receipes that I tend to create don't require plant based milks. You can of course use plant based milks if you prefer. 

What I love about dates is that they are such a good natural sweetner on their own!

 I judge the liquid content by how easy it was to mix as I am an eyeballing kind of girl. Most people use 1 cup of water to 1 cup of oats ratio.

 It was easy to stir but not too easy, a nice thick mixture. I then put the mixture in the fridge overnight to do its thing. In the morning I stirred again and added some dried fruit and nut mix and voila! A truly delicious combination! 

I love how quick and easy this breakfast was to prepare. Such a filling, super tasty, raw and nutrious breakfast, a great way to start the day!
