This post simple breakfasts with canned fruit is a paid collaboration with Princes. My house isn’t called The Mad House for no reason with two boys 14 months apart it has always been chaos here and I am most certainly not a morning person, however, I know the importance of breakfasts for all of the family. So I was delighted to be working with Princes on their #mumsontherun campaign to share my family-friendly simple breakfasts made with their canned fruit.
Having one child that is a night owl and one that is a lark means that I am a perpetually exhausted pidgeon and trying to get the boys out of the door in time for the school bus is a challenge on a morning. Mini has only been getting the bus since September and is finding it hard to get up in the morning, so I need breakfasts that are fast to prepare, can be made by myself or Maxi, filling and full of goodness. This is where I reach in the cupboard for our cans of Princes Fruit. Maxi has a particular love of mango and let me tell you tinned mango is much more convenient, is always ripe, has never turned in the fruit bowl before you get to it and it is also prepared. A total win.
So I am going to share with you some simple Fruit breakfasts that can be made with tinned, fresh or even frozen fruit (I have all of them in my house).
Tropical Fruit Parfait
Ingredients
- Vanilla Yoghurt
- Granola
- can Mandarin Segments
- can Mango Slices
- dried fruit and nuts
Instructions
- Put 2 tablespoons of yoghurt in the bottom of each of the glasses. If you are doing this the night before then use a clean jam jar.
- Top with 4 orange slices. Sprinkle the oranges with 1 1/2 tablespoons of granola, followed by 2 more tablespoons of yoghurt. Top with sliced mango then with dried fruit and nuts.
- Pop the leftover fruit into a Tupperware in the fridge for the next day – as you can see Maxi got to the mango slices before I even made this. Once the can is open in our house they never last!
Maxi is the porridge man in the house and this is a delicious addition to your normal porridge, plus as long as you add 80g of the peach it is one of your five a day. Now if you are anything like me you buy fresh peaches and they are always either too hard and then the next time you check off, canned sliced peaches do not go off!
Peaches and Cream Porridge
A decident and delicious breakfast
Ingredients
- Rolled Oats or your preferred porridge
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of cream
- 1/2 tin sliced peaches
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine oats, milk, water and sugar. Microwave on high power for two minutes and check (Our porridge takes 3.5 minutes to cook). Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the tinned peaches and stir through before topping with 2 tablespoons of cream and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
It is super simple to make and feels really decadent, but again contains one of your five a day.
Perhaps you prefer overnight oats, well we have a recipe for Strawberry overnight oats for you too.
Strawberry Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 210 g can Princes Strawberries in Light Syrup
- 50 g low fat Greek-style yogurt
- 50 g porridge oats
Instructions
- Drain the can of strawberries, discarding the juice. Reserve some of the fruit for topping, keeping it refrigerated.
- Chop the remaining strawberries roughly. Put them into a bowl with the yogurt and porridge oats. Stir well.
- Cover with cling film or transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate overnight.
- Serve in the morning, topped with the reserved strawberries.
One of the things I try to do is make sure we always have Greek yogurt (for protein), honey, agave, maple syrup (for sweetness), frozen or canned berries (we love the mixed ones with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries in) and chia seeds or flax seeds (for Fibre). It makes a simple but healthy breakfast.
