A perfect breakfast that is not too heavy, this bowl simply combines ricotta, the fruit of the season, nuts and a drizzle of honey. A great energy boost to start the day.

The strange thing is, despite not being a morning person, mornings are pretty much the only time I can exercise. It’s the only time I can get a good workout, without feeling exhausted. There’s just one condition though: I absolutely have to eat before I do it.
I don’t know about you, but eating a huge breakfast at 6am… not the most appealing thing to me. I often struggled trying to find the right thing to eat early in the morning, before exercising. Something light, yet nutritious and energizing.
So a couple of weeks ago, I put together this little breakfast bowl. Nothing too elaborate, just some ricotta cheese, with some fruit, nuts and a drizzle of honey. It tasted so good and gave me such a boost of energy, that it has become part of my morning routine.
You can use store bought ricotta or make your own. Of course you can choose the fruit according to your taste or the season, and same thing with the nuts. I happen to love the combination of figs, cherries and walnuts!
