Three Insanely Cheap and Quick Breakfasts to Try

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Helsinki chapter.

Oatmeal Cookies

–          oats

–          a ripe banana

–          cinnamon

–          blueberries (optional)

Mash the banana and add oatmeal until you get a batter that can be shaped into cookies. Then add cinnamon to taste and some blueberries, make little cookie shapes and microwave them for 1 to 3 minutes. Remember to check them every minute, though – these cookies get burnt quicker than an avocado goes bad!

 

The Superpower Smoothie

–          fresh ginger and/or turmeric to taste

–          1 lemon

–          1 stalk of celery

–          fresh mint leaves (to taste)

–          ½ avocado

–          1 dl of frozen mango

–          1 scoop of protein powder (optional)

Just blend everything together and enjoy this life-giving smoothie on the go!

 

The Porridge Pancake

–          leftover porridge

–          sweetener of choice

–          coconut oil

–          cinnamon

Look, I know this sounds slightly disgusting but just trust me on this, OK? Mix all ingredients (but oil) together and just treat the batter as you would any pancake mix – that is, scoop a generous amount of it on the pan and don’t forget to add enough coconut oil! This is honestly so good!!
