Let's talk about food...

I'm having difficulties with breakfast (I'm a good cook, but with the appetite, a lot of my inspiration has gone). I have a lot of time to prepare breakfast/brunch in the weekend, but it's difficult during the week, when things need to go faster.

So I was curious about what you eat for breakfast...?

Thank you!

Marie

I make myself a smoothie of:
2-3 kale leaves
handful of spinach
handful of wheatgrass
1/2 cup of blueberries or any berry
1/2 goji berries or goldenberries
6 T of Bee Pollen
1 T of Manuka Honey
2 lemons
2-3 fingers of ginger
4 T of flax seed
2-3 T chia seed
6 T of hemp seed
1 juice and meat of young fresh coconut
probiotics
3/4 of liter of water
serves 2

I vary this recipe here and there. It has a great blast of immediate nutrition. After drinking this every morning for six months, I've virtually eliminated acid reflux, lessened GI pain, bloating, and IBS symptoms, and increased energy. I started doing it because I couldn't eat without pain and because of that had no appetite. Might not give that hometown feeling of huckleberry pancakes, but I can only dream of that. I would love to hear some recipes though. It's like food **** for me, since I can't eat anything fun.

oatmeal!!! LOL! I know that this doesn't fit in with a lot of people's diet, but I did well with this, partly because I turned plain old oatmeal into a medicinal meal!

I cooked oatmeal, and added:
1 tblsp local honey (helps with Lyme and pollen allergies)
2 tblsp coconut oil (many benefits)
2 tsp cinnamon (helps control blood sugar levels and more)
2 tblsp ground flax (2 tblsp keeps it from interfering with the thyroid & it has fiber!)

I still eat this daily as it sticks with me and is pretty healthy!

@ Barngurl - you just made healthy food look super yummy

I would be really sick if I ate all of that wheat and dairy. It doesn't effect you?
Posted 9/13/2013 5:46 PM (GMT 0)
Not me - I don't eat much gluten/grains in general but I love kefir and found that for me yougurt was more effective at maintenance then 50 bill. probiotics. It really depends on the person.

I'm glad you're Ok with it. Dairy puts me into a coughing spasm. Gluten makes my skin and muscles tighten up painfully.
