Live better with a beautiful breakfast
A good start to the day often means a good finish later on. Taking time to make and eat a lovely breakfast is one of the best ways to give yourself a boost of energy for the day. Here are some ideas for ways to make the most important meal of the day delicious.
If you are looking for healthy options:
Toasted whole grain bread smothered in mashed, ripe avocado and a sprinkle of salt
Ripe banana smeared with almond butter and a tiny drizzle of honey
Overnight oats – mix 1 cup rolled oats with ½ cup yogurt and 1 cup milk, cover and refrigerate overnight and top with ripe berries
Scrambled eggs with chopped spinach, broccoli or asparagus
Smoothie bowl – blend ¼ cup orange juice with a banana and a cup of frozen fruit and top with shredded coconut and ¼ cup granola
Scrambled tofu – chop a block of tofu into cubes, then sauté in olive oil over low heat with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ½ teaspoon turmeric and 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, top with chopped green peppers and chopped green onion
If you’re in the mood for something a bit more decadent:
Waffles (frozen or homemade) with caramel ice cream topping, nuts, and whipped cream
Huevos rancheros – 4 large eggs fried and placed atop a mixture of black beans, salsa, feta cheese and fresh cilantro, wrapped in a fresh, warm tortilla
