Breakfast is a great way to get most of your daily required dairy servings as it is a versatile food that, with a little creativity, can be incorporated into most meals. And it needn’t be a mammoth task ~ be it milk, cheese, yoghurt, amasi or butter, and there are so many ways to do so.
Overnight flavour sensations
Overnight oats have been trending on social media, and with good reason! This easy to prepare and fuss-free breakfast allows you to add in your favourite flavours, such as fruit, peanut butter or cocoa nibs, the options are endless. Simply soak your oats overnight in yoghurt, milk or cream and enjoy the next morning at the breakfast table or on-the-go. It’s a great time saver for those busy mornings too!
Another great overnight option is to make a parfait. Simply layer yoghurt with fresh fruit and mooosli in a jar or cup and leave in the fridge overnight to be enjoyed the next morning. For a higher protein option, swap your regular yoghurt for delicious Greek yoghurt.
Smoothie ingredients can also be prepped the night before, and then blended in the morning with yoghurt, buttermilk or dairy substitute of your choice. Try out this creamy avo mango smoothie bowl for two!
Cheesy breakfasts
For a wholesome meal that is great for sharing, a cheesy-licious frittata or quiche (like this ham & asparagus quiche) is a tasty option for when you have more time like on a weekend. It may require more time to prep… but we promise, it is worth it!
If you’re looking for a ch-easier option, simply fill your omelette with cheese or sprinkle on toast. Using ricotta, cottage or cream cheese as a spread, then topped with your favourite ingredients, like this yummy chive ricotta toast, can make for a quick but filling, high protein meal.
Eggs and dairy go together like love and marriage!
For the egg lovers out there, this creamy eggs recipe is a marvellous recipe to try. Demonstrating the power of simplicity and fresh ingredients that pair well together, this recipe is sure to take your tastebuds on a tantalising trip.
By adding dairy to whichever way you like to enjoy your eggs, it’s a great way to ensure those tummy’s are kept full until lunch time.
Dairy’s got talent. 🤩 Whether you cook with it or use it as a topping, there are just so many delicious options… but there’s no denying that you can’t go wrong with a good old glass of milk! Just make sure to check the label and ensure that your dairy products are proudly South African; by doing so you are supporting the livelihoods that work hard to bring these nutritious products to your table.
