Healthy Peanut Butter & Banana Breakfast with Strawberries

Welcome to the very first Food&Bake post! I look forward to showing you many more recipes & ideas just like this! 

This is one of my favorite ''recipes". Although it's not something you 'cook' per se, it's something you can easily whip up when you don't have time to prepare a big breakfast. This, in itself, although simple, and fast, is also healthy and filling. 

When I was busy and always on the run, I found this to be so easy to make. 

It's healthy because you use whole wheat bread. Bran has more nutriens than that of bread that is more refined. This means, the closer the grain is to its natural state, the longer you will stay full. This is because whole grains are absorbed more slowly and will less likely raise glucose and insulin levels. 

If you're allergic to wheat, this won't be for you obviously :P but you could still find wheat-free bread alternatives that are just as filling, like rice or corn bread. :) 

Spread the peanut better on your wonderful bread, and cut the banana into slices and put them on top of the bread. Among other nutrients, peanut butter has a good source of protein and fibre, which also keeps you full for longer. Yes it is known to be high fat, but don't worry, this is the healthy and natural fat that we need in our body to have a healthy immune system (just think 'olive oil', and just think 'moderation', and you'll be fine, haha). 

By adding on the banana slices, you are signing up for an energy-filled day as they are high in potassium - yuuuummmmmy! :) 

Strawberries. Yum.
Why not add them as a nice and refreshing side? ;-) 
These deliciously picked strawberries are just in time for summer. Depending on where you are, you can have them all year round, but for some reason, they just look more appealing in summer. And ladies, strawberries are also known for being excellent for boosting the immune system and burning stored fat ;-) Oh, and they contain traces of anti-ageing agents for those who need them as well #JussSayin' :) :P

Although a carb-filled breakfast, remember that it's great to get you started off for your day because you are going to burn those carbs as you run around the day and fill fuller for longer! 

Oh and, don't forget to pray! It is in fact for your daily bread ;-) yes yes..that was so corny I know...but know that that was totally intended ;-)

Ah…have a good day. :) 
Until next time!
