Healthy Breakfast Crumble with Stone Fruit and Berries

Yes, this is absolutely a fruit crumble – BUT, it doesn’t have the flour, butter and sugar of a dessert crumble. Perfect for when stone fruits are in season! I use peaches and nectarines, but you could also use plums and any other yummy stone fruits you like. Be creative with the berries too, use a mixture!

Serves: 8 (small servings)

Container: I like to store the entire thing in a large airtight container and just take slices out when I need them, but you could divide them up and store in 8 small containers if you wish.

Time: approximately 35 minutes

Lunch

These lunch recipes could also be used as dinner recipes, as they contain plenty of veggies and lean proteins. Grains such as quinoa and brown rice also feature in this section, as it’s important to eat slow-releasing energy sources at lunchtime to keep you alert and full throughout the afternoon. If you are exercising a lot as part of your weight-loss attempts, then please don’t forget to eat enough throughout the day! That means a wholesome lunch. You can go easy on the carbs at dinnertime if you wish, but don’t be shy to chow down on plenty of nutrients for your midday meal.
