The August Break 2013 - Day 1 - Breakfast

 

 "Breakfast!"  Good morning, everybody.

The sun is up and there's lots of toast and jelly.

~ "Postcard from a Dream" by Poi Dog Pondering

 

Ah, in my world, at least on weekdays, there is smoothie, not toast and jelly.  I take it on the go, drinking it on the car.  Weekends are more leisurely, yogurt with granola and berries eaten on the back deck.  In the winter, oatmeal.  If I have time, I love to make crepes. 

 

There are plenty of recipes out there for smoothies, if you'd like one.  I don't really follow a recipe, my general guideline is:

 

~ liquid - usually water, but sometimes almond milk, coconut milk, or hemp milk

~ greens (varies)

~ another vegetable (often cucumber)

~ banana

~ another fruit

~ something with fat / protein to fill me up and stay with me through the morning - such as nuts, nut butter, avocado

~ other good stuff, like hemp seeds, chia seeds, ginger



 

What is your breakfast?

 

Be well!

 

Hugs,

Tara

Look at that Building
 It's so beautiful
 The certainly don't make them like that anymore
 Look at that detail
 Over that doorway
 That must've taken some time
 The curve of that stone
 And ornate design
 Look at that Building
 It's so beautiful
 They certainly don't make them like that anymore
