Simply Eat..breakfast....

9/7/2018

I love breakfasts so much I sometimes have two.

White on white for a summer breakfast

Especially when I get up really early which I have been doing since the heatwave began.

I eat something good for me. I set a nice tray or table and sit down to it. I take my time and I eat it outside whenever possible. Perhaps if your weekday mornings are too busy to do this you might enjoy it at weekends.

The first post on this blog was under Simply Eat and I am happy to say I am less stressed about the whole subject and actually quite enjoy shopping for food. (See this post.) I am much clearer about what I want and am able to pretty much ignore the 70 - 80% of the store which has nothing for me.

Focus was the answer for me.

In fact that has been the value of the blog. I have focussed on each category in turn to clarify what I need and want.

Would you make any changes to your breakfast routine?

Your white-on-white is inspired!

I am moving towards a later breakfast so I can cut out my morning snack. The best breakfast for me is Japanese style - miso soup, brown rice, greens, maybe some marinated tofu or omelette. Lately I have been eating toast! Not the most nourishing or satisfying. But this morning I had creamy millet and apricot porridge with almonds, cinnamon and soy milk. It hit the spot!

I hate to miss my normal breakfast - gluten-free muesli soaked in water, prunes, some natural yoghurt, coffee. Saves me having to think - I even lay the breakfast table before I go to bed!

I sometimes have two breakfasts since I am a very early riser: whole wheat toast with a little peanut butter and a little apricot fruit spread (usually around 6 am--after I have been up an hour or two), then around 10:30 I might have some Greek yoghurt with blueberries and some slivered almonds. Though I must say, there are mornings I just have one or the other. Multiple cups of tea throughout the morning. Not a coffee drinker.

Your white arrangement is lovely - clean and calm but vibrant. (And very breakfasty - white petals and yolk centres! I love my two breakfasts. A green smoothie first thing, and eggs in some form or other a bit later. Starting the day with plenty of veg and protein makes a huge difference to my energy levels and keeps blood sugar more even throughout the day.

My favorite breakfasts are the tea and toast I make at 3 or 4 in the morning when I get up to see my husband off to the airport. On those days I have two breakfasts too. There seems to be more poetry in me at that time of morning. Most likely due to that ethereal hush before the rush.

No distractions at that time of the morning - one's mind is more free! Sounds like a nice routine Judy.

Before going low-carb/high fat a year ago I always loved and ate milky porridge with blueberries or apple for breakfast and needed to eat it as soon as I got up in the morning.
Now I find I enjoy my cup of tea first, usually, and get to breakfastlater if I can, and I always take my time and sit outside or in sunlight if at all possible.
My breakfast now is fresh or frozen berries, some coconut milk, a mix of seeds and nuts, a dollop of greek yogurt and a sprinkling of coconut chips. Some days bacon and eggs... And for the first time since I can remember I am really full till lunchtime or even a very late light lunch. Works for me!
But I do agree that taking time to sit and pay attention is a better way to start the day, and with a pretty place setting.
