Birthday Cake for Breakfast

If you like birthday cake, you’re going to love this breakfast bowl. Yes, that’s all it is. No baking, no slaving in the kitchen and no sugar or fat packed treats here. But there’s no better way to describe the textures and flavors of this healthy and delicious breakfast.
Or afternoon snack, if you’re one of the many women (and a handful of men) I know that craves sweets – like cake! - in the middle of afternoon. You can even have it for dessert.
My goal is getting you so used to eating healthier foods, that this is all you’ll end up craving – healthy treats!

I love breakfast bowls and I’m going to share some with you here, but this one doesn’t deserve to be called a breakfast bowl, since its layers really resemble a colorful, tasty, frosted… cake!

This recipe is super simple, and you can change the amounts as you wish, but basically, this is what you’ll need:

Rolled oats (gluten free in my case): ¼ cup
Fruit – whatever fruit you’d like in your cake – strawberries or any berries and pineapple make sense to me, but use whatever makes sense to you: about 5 strawberries
Unsweetened Greek yogurt: about 3 tbsp
Raw Honey: to drizzle, about 1 tsp
Unsweetened Coconut: ¼ cup
(all organic ingredients, preferably)

All you have to do is layer up all the ingredients in a see-through airtight container, so you can see the pretty layers: starting with the oats, then the fruit (the fruit will leak on top of the oats and help form a cake-like base for your “cake”), then cover the fruit with yogurt, spread it, add some honey (you’re using unsweetened yogurt and coconut), top it up with shredded coconut, put the lid on and leave in the fridge overnight if you’re having it for breakfast, or for a few hours if you prepare it during the day to eat later on.

But you do need to allow the oats to soak up the water from the fruit. And that’s how I started making this breakfast bowl – because everytime you make a parfait starting with fruit on the bottom, you’ll end up finding a bunch of water when you eat it.  Starting with oats, you actually have a purpose for that water.

Now I just grabbed my healthy pineapple birthday cake bowl so I can really describe to you how it tastes…
… mmmarvelous! It tastes like a tropical paradise dessert. Can’t get much better than that for breakfast, huh?
Enjoy!

Wishing you an abundance of health and wellness,
