Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 4 slices of whole wheat sourdough bread
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 mango, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup mixed greens (spinach, kale, arugula)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the avocado toast: halve, pit, and peel the avocados. Slice them into thin wedges and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Next, make the porridge: in a saucepan over medium heat, combine rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Cook for 5 7 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes before serving. For the mango smoothie, blend together mango chunks, mixed berries, and almond milk until smooth and creamy. Assemble your vegan New Zealand breakfast: toast the sourdough slices, then top each with avocado slices and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Serve alongside the warm porridge topped with mixed greens. Finish with a glass of the refreshing mango smoothie.
