Apple + Banana + Chia Seeds = Magic

One of these perfect summer breakfasts.

I am living a crazy dream! It’s a dream as there’s so many beautiful places and memories I collect on the way and crazy as there are all these funny/sometimes scary situations. It all comes with my slightly older motorhome (25 years old). I already almost lost an exhaust pipe, which we got fixed in Luxemburg, we’ve decided to stay overnight in a beautiful rocky spot and we cracked open our black water container and yesterday I had an obligatory stop over in Warsaw, because another tiny thing couldn’t wait to be fixed. And what a girl does when she doesn’t know what to do? She calls her dad!

Living in a camper van is an unique experience, it gives you freedom of always changing your mind. If you’re not found of a place, you can go somewhere else, if you fell in love with a hidden beach, you can stay there as long as you like. It gives you so many options. I am a bit curious, which means, that I move around a lot.

I get many questions how it is to travel with a small kid in a van and how I manage. I do manage, obviously, but the important thing is that it’s super easy. There are things you need to remember about like supplying water tank and having coco for a morning drink, there also are some obligations like emptying a toilet cassette (not cool). But on everyday basics, it’s just awesome. The feeling of waking up on a beautiful beach or next to a lake, when your kid still sleep and you can admire a view in silence with a cup of coffee is priceless. Everyday life is good as well, just imagine that you have to clean only a few meters, not whole apartment. Living in a van also teaches you a minimalistic approach to life and shows that you don’t need many things. The same goes with food. I do eat well and Mia could as well, but she keeps asking for a chocolate cake. The secret is to not use too many ingredients, because you cannot fit too much in your super tiny kitchen. If you think that your kitchen is small, I assure you that mine is way smaller.

This is a great breakfast for a van and not only. It’s easy to make, quite fast and you can leave it in a fridge for a night (but not necessarily). We had it a couple of times already and it’s a hit!

The Recipe

YOU WILL NEED:

  • 1 medium apple, grated
  • ½ banana, smashed
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • zest from ¼ lemon (just a bit for a flavour)
  • ¼ tsp honey
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • fruits to garnish
Mix everything in a small bowl and leave for at least 30 minutes. Serve with fruits on top and nuts if you like.

Enjoy, Marta
