Eggvocado

Mornings, bleurgh. I am not a morning person. I hate having to crawl out of my warm, snuggly, bed every morning to spend ages making a warm breakfast then shoved out the door into the cold to make my way to an even colder place to work. So when i stumbled across the eggvocado a little light shone down from heaven and i swear i heard angels sing (ok, maybe i'm exaggerating a little but it definitely felt like that!).

You will need:
1 egg
1 half of an avocado
foil
chilli flakes
golden syrup

Preheat your oven to 190 degrees. Halve your avocado, take out the seed then grab a spoon and hollow out the avocado a little.

Place your avocado on piece of foil, crack an egg and put it in the hollowed out bit of your avocado. Drizzle with golden syrup and sprinkle a few chilli flakes. Carefully wrap it all up and pop in your oven for 14-15 minutes. (I like my yolk really runny, if you want it done a little more pop it back in for a few 2 more minutes.) (NOTE: if you put the syrup on before it will be running and may look like egg whites so don't be fooled. Test the yolk instead or just add syrup after.)


Take it out of the oven and enjoy the gooey goodness that requires minimal effort- what more could you ask for?

BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE


Even though food is Talisa's speciality on this blog, I personally couldn't not share my easy to make breakfast smoothie, (perfect at any time of the day, not just breakfast!!)

I made it in around three minutes this morning, thats pretty decent if you ask me.
But before i tell you how to make it I better leave a rough description of ingredients.. oh and not forgetting, unless you're able to bash and beat frozen berries into a pulp using a rolling pin you also need an electric blender.

Ingredients:
(for one person)
1 banana
(around) 2-3 large table spoons of Greek Yoghurt - use healthy alternatives if you wish 
(around again) 2-3 handfuls of frozen summer berries
And a good few splashes of apple juice 

Ever so sorry the vague amounts of ingredients, but it's really up to you how much of each ingredient you put in, if you want the smoothie fruitier; add more berries and apple juice, sweeter; add another banana or creamier; add more yoghurt!

Banana
Step 1, add the banana in chopped chunks (easy for the blender)


Yoghurt and Apple Juice
Step 2, pour in the yoghurt and apple juice


Frozen Berries
Step 3, chuck in the frozen fruit

BLEND!!!
Step 4, JUST PRESS THAT BUTTON TILL THE TEXTURE IS SMOOTH,



*Add more apple juice if required, you want the texture to be that of a drink not melted ice cream. Also if you decide to use fresh fruit rather than frozen, I suggest adding a few cubes of ice to be able to serve at a cold temperature.


All together now, (cheeky instagram edit)

Finish with a handful of oats, specifically for breakfast 

                                                            And the finished product!



I hope you enjoy.
