Immune-Boosting Tropical Breakfast Bowl
For me – breakfast is non-negotiable. Particularly one that is high in protein and heart-healthy fats.
Over time, I have found that I have to eat a high protein breakfast or else I will be starving by noon, and that’s never pretty.
This recipe is perfect because it does not take a lot of work to make, it can be ready in less than five minutes you have a delicious and nutritious meal you can take on the run with you.
To get my protein, I prefer to stir in unflavored collagen peptides to my homemade dairy-free yogurt.

Making a Breakfast Bowl
I think we can all agree that food just tastes better when it looks better – right?
While this Immune Boosting Tropical Breakfast Bowl looks fancy, it is nothing more than yogurt and fruit put together with a little creativity.
But don’t worry if you don’t have time for creativity or Instagram worthy bowls – this tastes delicious no matter how you present it.
Plus this bowl is packed with nutrition and immune-boosting ‘superfoods’ that are high in vitamins, minerals & antioxidants.
A Healthy Breakfast Option
I typically prepare veggie quiche or berry quinoa on Sundays so I have a healthy breakfast all week long, but sometimes Sundays are best spent lazily.
Luckily I can still eat a healthy meal while throwing it all together quickly, and this tropical breakfast bowl is just as healthy as it is delicious.
The foundation of this breakfast is homemade dairy-free coconut milk yogurt mixed with collagen protein powder which is packed with protein and free of both artificial sweeteners and refined sugars.

I already had all of this fruit cut in my refrigerator which makes putting this breakfast together super quick on busy mornings.
I always tell the women I am working with that the key to developing a successful happy & healthy lifestyle involves a lot of preparation.
My simple tip is to cut all of your fruit when you get home from the grocery store, that way you will always have a readily available snack or a tasty breakfast like this.
Plus all of these tropical fruits are bursting with vitamin C which can help support a healthy immune system, especially during the winter months.
