Breakfast- since breakfast is literally breaking the overnight fast, you want to go easy to begin with, and it’s great to get in the habit of starting your day with a glass of room or warm temperature water. Doing this helps get your digestive juices flowing, try adding fresh lemon juice to help stimulate your liver.
Try juice, a fruit salad, or a smoothie. What I like to do is pick up a menu from my favorite juice places and duplicate my favorites. Always have fresh or at least frozen organic fruit handy. Bananas can be peeled, cut and frozen. Frozen coconut juice makes for a tropical drink. My current favorite is a fresh peeled orange, with almond milk and frozen coconut juice. It is such a treat; it tastes like a tropical “orange julius”.
With all my smoothies, I like to add in one or more extras such as: ground flax seeds, a green powder, lecithin granules, cayenne powder, vitamin C powder, wheat bran or wheat germ. Look at your favorite juice bar’s menu for more add-in ideas.
The smoothie combinations are endless and your imagination is the limit. You can add a healthy milk or juice as a base. Juices can be diluted with water, if blood sugar or weight is an issue. When I have juice as a base, I always dilute with1/2 water and it tastes just as great without the extra calories or natural sugar. Adding ground flax seeds, flax or olive oil, helps slow sugar being released into your blood stream also.
If a larger breakfast is needed, try adding a salad with your eggs instead of potatoes. Add fresh spinach and sprouts to breakfast sandwiches, and you can add avocado instead of cheese. Toast or healthy rice cakes with fresh raw nut butters is a great way to start the day, along side some fresh juice or a smoothie. Whenever you do eat bread, pancakes, or tortillas have them be whole wheat, whole grain, or even spelt, because all are easier to digest. Start reading labels and avoid the sticky mucus forming white flours, sugars, and anything that is man made.
When buying fresh organic fruits, do not buy seedless. Seedless varieties are not natural. When you do buy with seeds, you can eat most seeds. Seeds carry life. If you do eat them, chew them very well. Since I discovered this, I often eat the seeds from watermelon, lemons, and oranges. Most of these have little or no taste. This life that is in seeds is similar to the life found in sprouts, very healthy!
If you enjoy starting your day with cereal, try using the grains, nuts, and seeds (wheat, oats, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, sunflower, etc.) that are found in your boxed cereals. Buy them in their raw organic form and soak them at least overnight, the longer you soak the healthier. Strain and rinse, add your favorite milk (preferably soy, almond, rice, hazelnut, or even cow or goat’s milk in its raw form), and top with some fresh berries of your choice. Delicious!! Note: if using raw milk, buy from reputable sources.
Yogurt with berries and granola atop is another great way to start your day. If you want to try something new, tasty, and healthy there is a smoothie pack called Acai. The fruit is from the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. It can be found in your healthy grocer’s freezer. Blend with a healthy milk, top with bananas and granola, and you’ve got a delicious nutritious energizing meal. The Acai can also be used in smoothies. There are recipe ideas on each pack, and different flavors to choose.
