Exploratory Breakfast

The infamous egg white scramble

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day…

For me at least. Otherwise I would starve, I swear!

I definitely continue to steer towards my 'go-to' weekend breakfast consisting of an egg white scramble with any variation of veggies and of course, avocado.

However, during the week I don't exactly have time for that. Unfortunately. Here's what I've put together and find myself running (literally) to most frequently.

So, on the left. This is a desperate attempt at breakfast, a stop at Starbucks for their blueberry steel cut oats. I almost always make my own at home in bulk and just portion them and keep them in the fridge. I  add a variety of ingredients, mostly depending on what fruit is in season. I also add chia seeds, light agave syrup, and sometimes cinnamon. 

On the right is one of my many variations of protein smoothies. I ALWAYS put in one frozen banana, chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, and ice cubes. Where I mix it up is the flavor of protein powder, any additional fruit, cold coffee or toddy, and more water. I also may add fresh spinach to boot. I love adding toddy (cold brew coffee) for a coffee and breakfast two-for-one deal. 

This is the protein powder brand I use. I love it and its all natural, non processed and doesn't have weird ingredients. My favorite flavors include vanilla spiced chai and vanilla.

I love cold brew coffee (toddy) for a few reasons. It is lower in acid, which is awesome for those of us with acid reflux. It is more concentrated. You will typically only use 1 part toddy to 3 parts water, almond, soy, or cows milk. Whatever floats your boat. Also, its brewed ahead of time so it can last in you fridge for up to two weeks!
