Weetabix Bowls

Introduction

This honestly is one of my favourite recipes, if you could even call it that.

It came about while working with my local minor football team. At the time, I was on my high horse about getting the lads to try eat overnight oats for breakfast, giving all the usual lectures and sales pitches and while I love that breakfast, sometimes its hard to get people to to change their whole morning routine if they are used to something in particular.

With that, I realised I had never actually asking the lads what they liked to eat.

Then one day, one of them turned to me and asked: “Is there anything I can do to make my Weetabix better?”

And it hit me. What a savage question. Nutrition isn’t about taking things away. it’s about what we can add. And this meal is the perfect example of that. If you like your weetabix in the morning, good, keep them, but why not try and add some bits to them to bring the overall nutritional value of the meal.

So this bowl is my ode to that idea. Think about what you can add, not takeaway.
