In Episode 35, we bring you some creative Thermomix quick breakfast ideas to get you out the door with a full tummy in the morning.
Bec LOVES breakfast (and would eat breakfast all day if she could) and Joe is on the other end of the spectrum and really doesn’t enjoy breakfast unless it’s in the form of a cooked breakfast and served after 10am. So listen up to these Thermomix quick breakfast recipes we’re bringing you (and hear Bec and Joe’s different taste buds come into play!)

Here are the recipes we chose this week:
Recipe 1 – CADA
Just when we thought everyone with a Thermomix knew what CADA was and weren't going to include it in this week’s podcast, Bec’s Dad dropped by and had no idea what CADA was. So, here it is!
A handful of Coconut, a handful of Almonds, a handful of Dates and an Apple in quarters.
Turbo x3 and you’re done.

You can also read about the alterations our Facebook community makes to their morning CADA here.
Recipe 2 – Choco Crunch (from Thermomama)
Fleur AKA Thermomama seems to be the queen of quick, healthy breakfasts. She has great ideas on her Instagram feed and Facebook page.
For this recipe we combined 1 green apple (quartered / cored), 50g macadamias (or cashews), 20g pepitas, 5g chia, 5g linseeds & 1 tsp cacao. Blitz on Turbo 3 times and eat as is, or serve with milk (we trialled coconut and cow’s) and berries. Bec trialled this and has gone back for thirds and fourths during the week, and this ranked as one of Joe’s favourites. It’s quite bitter-sweet and filling.
Recipe 3 – SuperFood Quickie Brekkie (from Tenina)
This recipe comes from Tenina’s “What’s for Breakfast?” eBook and is Tenina’s tweaked version of CADA. We used one of ours and Tenina’s favourite super foods – Crio Bru. We used a frozen banana in this recipe (along with all the other delicious ingredients including mango, brazil nuts, coconut cream and more!) so the end result was more like a dessert than a breakfast. A delicious superfood dessert for breakfast! What more could you want? Despite not loving bananas, this was one of Bec’s favourites!
Tenina has given us a copy of her eBook and a pack of CrioBru to giveaway this week! Read below for details.
Recipe 4 – Almond Porridge (from Tenina)
Almond Porridge with Raspberry
Almond Porridge with Blueberries
This is Bec’s new favourite breakfast. The original recipe (which you can find in the “What’s for Breakfast?” eBook) calls for maple syrup or honey but because Bec is avoiding refined sugars she used frozen blueberries instead. Yum! We also tried it with raspberries but it was a little too tart for our tastebuds. Still nice… but better with the blueberries. While the recipe takes longer to cook, it is easily done in the Thermomix so you can spend 30 seconds setting it up and come back in 13-16 minutes after you’ve had your shower etc and breakfast is ready!
Recipe 5 – Cheat Oats (from Thermomama)
*apologies! Our photo of this went missing, but there you can see an image of it by clicking the link!
This is a really simple recipe – a few quick turbo blasts of apple, oats and milk, then leave the mixture to sit for 15 minutes (another great ‘jump in the shower’ recipe). A great porridge option for summer. The quantities we used were 85g apple / 20g oats / 80g milk. Bec’s sister Annie had almond milk and she commented that she really liked it. She said it was light but filling. A delicious summer porridge. She loved the little apple highlights in the oats. She had it with CoYo for breakfast. Joe had his with cow’s milk and didn’t like this one because of the texture (room temperature oats).
Recipe 6 – Honey Nut Granola (from The Road to Loving My Thermomix)
Peta from The Road to Loving My Thermomix is a self-confessed Granola junkie. You can find great variations of it on her website. While it’s not a quick breakfast when it comes to making and eating at the same time, it is something you can make ahead of time so that it’s a quick breakfast on the go. You’ll have lots in the cupboard as we halved the recipe and made 830g! Because we halved the recipe we were able to use the Thermomix for spreading the honey / oil mixture over the nuts / oats (rather than using our hands or a spoon in a bowl). We put it on Reverse+Speed 4 until it was all coated. We have quite a hot oven and we cooked 2 trays of it for two lots of 10 minutes (stirring the mixture all around after 10 minutes). We then added the coconut and turned the heat off but left the trays in the oven until cool (a tip we learnt from Tenina’s eBook). Joe loved this recipe. It was his favourite breakfast.
Here are some cool tips from this podcast…
- If your bananas are beyond eating, peel them and store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. They make for great ice-cream in the Thermomix (frozen) or perfect banana bread (thawed).
- Have a listen to our Smoothie episode for on-the-go Thermomix breakfast ideas.

I love the poached egg with hollondaise sauce as a great brekky. Add some toast from bread made via thermomix, mushrooms and ham. I haven’t tried Crio Bru but I am sure I would love Mojito.
Love CADA for brekkie with a dollop of homemade yoghurt. Would live to win Cavalla crio bru
Definately love CADA as my favourite quick breakfast inThermo!
Mint flavour crio bru would be lovely!
Any flavour! I’ve never tried it!!
And fav breakfast is eggs & bacon with mushrooms & avocado OR CADA. X
My favourite breakfast is CADA with CRIO Bru. My favourite flavour of CRIO Bru is Cavalla.
I love a smoothie of banana, spinach, blueburries, youghat, flax seeds, almonds and ice. My 15 months old loves it too.
Maracaibo would be the flavor I would like to try.
Almond porridge with berries, coca riva
Thank you
Michelle
My favourite breakfast is pancakes & bacon with maple syrup and a fried banana but now I am trying to lose 25kg for my sons wedding I love homemade granola with natural yoghurt. I have never had Crio Bru so don’t even know what flavour you can have it in. Am willing to give anything a try though 🙂
Chia pudding!! Am in love with the number of different combinations and tastes and a very small portion leaves me full for hours!!
You can’t go past CADA, I add a handful of cranberries and chia seeds. Then a spoonful of yogurt and a sprinkle of LSA, keeps me nice and full until lunch. I’d love a few new recipes and inspiration!
I love to make chia pudding in the thermo. Quick and easy! I’d like to try mint !
Porridge recipe in thermomix everyday cookbook with CADA on top (seriously my toddler and husband will accept this and nothing else at breakfast!)
Would love to try Maya crio bru.
Thanks!
Soft boiled eggs for “eggs and soilders” and definitely cavalla 🙂
Can’t beat Chia pudding so many ways you can make it. Would love to win this great prize and really love Maracaibo crio bur please.
CADA – superfast, super healthy and super easy. Cavalla all the way!
I normally just soft boil, fry or scramble 2 eggs cos I’m always in a hurry but if I’m out of eggs like today it’s a protein smoothie all the way. This morning it was chia, milk, natural yoghurt, bok choy, cucumber, raspberries, pear & vanilla protein powder, yum.
I would love some Cavalla Dark Roast as I’m trying to give up coffee for the sake of my poor adrenals – so hard!!
Tenina’s Granuesli is the bomb!! I think I’d like to try the mint crio : )
CADA definitely or a Banana Smoothie to go in the mornings. On the weekend poached eggs on toast (in thermie of course)…. I would love to try mint – sounds awesome !
For pure ease and convenience, porridge in the TM is my favourite.
CADA is a close second 🙂
Would love to win Cavalla – thanks!
Love CADA and Petas granola. Best ever! Would love to try the mint crio please! Yummy!
I am expecting delivery anytime. I am so looking forward to learning what my fav recipes will be. The book would help me I am sure. Any Crio Bru sounds interesting.
I like to make “fried eggs” steamed in the varoma or pancakes for Breakfast in my thermie.
I’d love to win Cavalla – thanks.
Plain and simple bacon and eggs for brekkie following body trim would like dark roast as I love coffee too much need to cut down on my intake
I love a “poached” egg steamed in the varoma with some tomato and mushroom. All cooked on baking paper then slid off onto toast. No dishes!
Any flavour as I have never tried crio bru.
CADA is my easy favorite, with coconut yoghurt and fresh berries, but I also love to start the day with a feed of eggs, veggies (love brussel sprouts) cooked in coconut oil.
And would love Tenina’s ebook and Maracaibo or Cavalla Dark Roast 🙂
I love CADA for breakfast
The Cavalla Crio Bru I would like to try in a few recipes.
Favorite breakfast would have to be Sunday morning – whatever my husband and I cook together. He works 6 days a week so Sunday is our family breakfast day. Always consists of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast – then whatever else we find. Bought kale for first time today, so hopefully every other day smoothies will be my favourite.
I’ve never heard if Crio Bru so any flavour would be great
We love chia puddings for breakfas – especially chocolate!
I’d love to try the mint flavour.
Thanks 🙂
Hi! I was so excited last week that you were doing a podcast on breakfast. Can’t wait to try out some of these recipes soon. We are rather predictable and make a lot of banana smoothies for breakfast.
I really like the Mojito flavour Crio Bru in summer. Thanks guys for your terrific podcasts!
Love making poached eggs – both the EDC way and AlyceAlexandra’s way.
I’d like to win Cavalla French/Dark Roast.
The Honey Nut Granola is my Fav. It might take longer to make (initially) but you can then eat it for weeks 🙂
Mint is my Fav Crio Bru 🙂
My favourite breakfast to make is my homemade baked beans in my thermie. Im make them on the weekend and heat them up as needed during the week and top with one or two scrambled eggs! Quick and delicious!
Mojito blend sounds interesting!
Smoothies are so quick and filling. 🙂
The Cavalla French/Dark Roast looks like me. Not that I can choose, having never tried Crio Bru – but would love to!
Love that you showed us that Granola from The Road to Loving my Thermomix! I love Granola! Daily i have Yoghurt made in the thermie with fruit and Granola. On a special day – like the weekend I steam silver beet and poach eggs in the Varoma! YUM! I’ve never tried Crio Bru but Cavalla looks very tempting! Thanks for the chance to win Tenina’s breakfast book – her recipe’s are awesome! You’re right Bec – they work every time! xx kel
I’m very new to the exciting world of Thermomix and have only had mine a few days. Yesterday I made my first CADA and we all loved it! So easy, yummy and packs a powerful start to the day. If I’m lucky enough to win, any flavour of Crio Bru would be lovely – but Cavalla seems to be a favourite!
I have never been much of a breakfast eater but since I got my TM I am able to have a nutritious, healthy, filling smoothie without thinking it is breakfast. I love it. I would be happy to try any criobru flavour.
I love CADA for breakfast. And Cavalla for Crio Bru!
Chia seeds, almond milk, rice syrup, coconut cream, cacao nibs with raspberries, however, this could change with Tenina’s breakfast ideas! Cavalla please 🙂
We make our own roasted granola with almonds, oats, honey and dried sweetened cranberries! It’s so filling, delicious and makes for a perfect gift! Yum!
The almonds are blitzed in the TM and the oats and honey are stirred in using using the reverse speed 2 function! Bake in oven then add cranberries! Easy!
I adore the Cavalla Crio Bru – have some with me today in a thermos!
eggs benny is my absolute fave brekky… when I have the time to make it lol
big family – big breakfast battle for thermie but CADA wins!!!! went to vote mint please :)))
I love to make a batch of blueberry breakfast slice each week or so and freeze it, so when I’m running around trying to get my boys ready for daycare before work, I can just warm it in the microwave for 60 secs and top with vanilla yoghurt – so quick, tasty and healthy. Am really keen to try the vega real crio bru please
I love the easy mini frittatis good for breakfast,lunch or dinner!
The thermie gets a workout in the morning, with a CADA or variation (add mango or frozen raspberries & cacao nibs)
OR a green smoothie made with frozen kale, cucumber, celery, lime, mango / strawberries / green apple, mint – as long as it’s not too early a start for me … I’m afraid I’ll wake everyone up!
Would love a pack of Cavalla Crio Bru, thanks!
My fav Breakie is a smoothie
I mill 50g hazelnuts, then add a dash of choc milk concentrate ( using my fav Maracaibo crio -) then a tb of cacao, tsp vanilla powder, tsp of nutra organics superfoods, 250ml almond milk and handful of ice. YUM….
Love good old porridge for everyday and CADA for a treat. Love the sound of Cavalla.
