I was thinking about breakfast recently. It was in the morning so that's probably why..but after I calmed my grumbly tummy I thought a little bit more about breakfast and here's what I came up with:
I find the phrase: "The most important meal of the day!" to be really, really annoying. I find even more annoying that it is, in fact, true.
You really can't have as productive of a day if you don't fill your fuel tank in the morning! You'll constantly be playing catch-up (I think ketchup is gross, that just made me think of that) and probably eat things that you shouldn't.
So, what's for breakfast? Protein. Again, you've heard this before, you're annoyed by this, and it is true. Gah! I've really gotta give it to eggs here. They are amazing! So many great things in there and so versatile! If you can get some good fats in with your breakfast, too, you're really nailing it. (a really easy way is to cook your eggs with coconut oil!) What could be better than starting your day with a nice full tummy of healthy things?
Gabe is a magician with eggs. He throws all kinds of great stuff in there: spinach, onions, tomatoes, avocado, CHEESE, etc. Not always so great at the clean-up afterwards, but....I usually let it slide. (Notice use of word USUALLY in previous sentence.)
I've been going with protein shakes a lot lately, too. Quick, delightful and I really like shaking those shaker bottles. If you've ever played Yahtzee with me, you know. I will shake those dice until cows come home.
A lot of people do like to go with cereal in the morning. I really dislike cereal. It never fills me up and it seems so fake and weird living in its cardboard box. How long has it been in there??? Too many questions. My dad makes weird noises when he eats cereal (frosted flakes); but I've also always found it strangely fascinating...
Whatever you choose to eat make sure you do it before you start your day! Get your hydration started early, too! 2 big glasses of water BEFORE your coffee or rum or whatever you use in the am :)
(I had a piece of quiche from the nearby bakery this morning because SOMEONE left only 1 egg in the carton at home. What am I going to do with 1 egg?)
Until next time!
