🥣 Budget Breakfast Bowls: Build Once, Eat All Week

Simple bowls using affordable staples (grains, eggs, beans, veggies)

Breakfast bowls are a flexible way to use leftovers and keep costs low. Adding a small amount of seasoning helps turn basic ingredients into something satisfying - without extra sauces or sugar.

🌿 Why Seasoning Helps Here

• Herbs and spices enhance flavour so simple foods feel complete

• Spices allow variety without buying new ingredients

• Flavour satisfaction supports better consistency with breakfast habits

  
  

🧠 Science reference: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that spices and herbs can improve meal satisfaction and help reduce the need for excess salt or added sugars.

🍠 Recipe: Savory Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

Ingredients (1 serving):

• 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes

• 1 egg (fried or soft-boiled)

• Handful of spinach or greens

• ½ tsp seasoning blend of choice

TIP: cook extra sweet potatoes for a weekend meal and save in containers ready to place in a microwave/air fryer or toaster oven. PRE cook the eggs and leave in your Breadfast Bin (this concept was explained in a previous blog)

How to use: Reheat components, add egg, sprinkle seasoning, eat.

🤝 Seasoning support: If you’re unsure which blends pair best with vegetables or eggs, I’m happy to help guide you — just ask.
