I'm on a roll with my breakfasts

Yet another breakfast post from me today! Although this time round I decided to indulge in something slightly more sinful...

Did you guess it right? :) There was some leftover buttermilk in the fridge I wanted to clear before expiry so I decided to whip up some blueberry buttermilk pancakes for myself!

Look at all that syrup

Have I tempted you? Here's what you'll need (I basically got the recipe off the buttermilk carton so I don't take ownership for this recipe):

• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp margarine (I used butter instead)
• 1 cup blueberries
• Maple Syrup / Topping of your choice

It took me around 30 minutes to do altogether and I managed to get 6 pancakes out of the entire batter. The number of servings really depends on how much of the batter you choose to use for each pancake. I used about 1/3 cups worth of batter for each and I found them to be the perfect size :)

I'm so happy now that I've started off the day right! My body is fuelled with energy to last the first half of the day at least :) Hope you're having a lovely morning!

My morning affair

Sunrise is getting earlier here down under, and that only means good news for me! I wake up just before the crack of dawn, and am usually always on time to see the sunrise from my place :) I do enjoy my mornings a lot, it gives me a lot of time to relax, reflect as well as go through my bloglovin feed. 

As you may know by now, breakfasts are important to me. As a student, there are days where I have lessons in the late evening, a timing that is too awkward for lunch yet ends only close to dinner. As such, on days like these I like to whip up a good breakfast that is filling enough to last me till dinner at least!

This morning, I decided to whip out my packet of oats that's been lying around for quite a while. This was my first time experimenting with oats, I never really did fancy it before because I felt the taste got too boring after a while. This time though, I have to say it was anything but boring. It was extremely delicious and yummy, and I only boiled 1/3 cup of oats as instructed but was already so full halfway! Although I think the amount of water I drank whilst eating had a large part to play for that... So for those of you who are interested, here's what you'll need:

• 1/3 cup of oats
• 3/4 cup of water/milk (I used Almond Milk)
• Raisins/Cranberries/Sultanas (I added them into the pot as the oats was boiling)
• Chia Seeds
• Cinnamon Ground
• Bananas
• Brown Sugar

There you go! So simple and easy to do :) My tummy is happy and I can start on work now!

Morning perk-me-up juice

I've been wanting to have a go at "juicing" for the longest time now. I'm so inspired by photos I see on Instagram by healthy nutters and have been dying to jump on the bandwagon. So I thought I'd invest in an electric blender this time to try it out!!

I've tried a few mixes so far, but I thought I'd just share my personal favourite. It's a combination of cucumber + lemon juice + coconut water + mint leaves + spinach + ice cubes. I am in love with this. I think you'll enjoy this too if you're a fan of anything minty. It woke me up immediately and I found myself to be filled with a burst of energy :) 

I'm thinking of other recipes to try out. Any ideas? :)

If you're not a fan of anything green I promise you it's a lot tastier than it looks!!! :)

Till next time, xx.
