Umami Morning: Avocado, Toasted Seeds, Cherry Tomatoes, Tamari, Flax Oil and Parsley

Creamy avocado is a perfect topping for any simple grain dish, and oatmeal is no exception. When you combine avocado with juicy cherry tomatoes, the umami flavors of tamari and flax oil, and a scattering of parsley and seeds, you’ve got a satisfying breakfast. The combination of toasted sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds gives a great boost of protein, plus a nice crunchy texture.

The Greeny: Spinach, Peas, Chives, Parmesan and Mint

This pretty, bright-green bowl is topped with bits of shaved Parmesan, and the addition of a few fresh mint leaves gives a great flavor contrast and will remind you of spring anytime of year. Warm frozen peas in a pan with a little olive oil, stir in a handful of baby spinach leaves and cook until just wilted, then season to taste with salt and top with Parmesan, mint leaves and plenty of cracked pepper.
