Protein breakfast for steadier energy
A creamy bowl with skyr, oats, fruit and walnuts. Make it in 10 minutes — or prep it the night before when every morning minute counts.
Method
- Make the base. Stir the skyr, chia seeds, cinnamon and two tablespoons of water or milk together. It should be creamy, not runny.
- Add the oats. Stir in half the oats and let them soften briefly. Add another tablespoon of liquid if the mixture feels too thick.
- Prep the fruit. Slice or dice the apple. Let frozen berries thaw briefly if using.
- Build the bowls. Divide the skyr mixture between two bowls. Top with the apple, berries, remaining oats and roughly chopped walnuts.
- Let it settle. Rest for 5 minutes for a softer texture. For overnight bowls, cover and refrigerate, adding the walnuts in the morning.
Hana's tip
Let the fruit and cinnamon provide the sweetness first. If your berries are especially tart, add one teaspoon of honey at the end — you may find you do not need it.
Easy swaps
- Use lactose-free skyr or unsweetened soya yoghurt.
- Swap walnuts for almonds or pumpkin seeds.
- In winter, warm the apple with cinnamon in a pan.
Storage
The covered bowl keeps in the fridge until the next day. Store the walnuts and some fruit separately so they stay crisp and fresh.
