Breakfast Ideas!!

Breakfast, as we all know is the most important meal of the day! However, eating when you are not hungry, especially in the morning, is actually not very good for you. So it's best to wait, if you are busy you can take breakfast on the go!! The best thing to have when you first wake up is a medium - large glass of warm lemon water. Lemons are detoxifying and believe it or not, ALKALINE!! When you wake up your body is undergoing a cleansing period so that's why you may not feel hungry! Drinking Lemon water first thing will hydrate and awaken the organs and digestive system in order to assimilate and utilise food that will be consumed later on. 

When it is time to finally eat something (30 or so Minutes after the Lemon water) you'll start to feel a bit hungry; and this is when you should eat. Remember that breakfast can make or break your eating day; for me personally this is true. I know starting my day off with a nice (gigantic)  Green Warrior Smoothie, it makes me feel amazing and motivates me to eat healthy all throughout the day. However, I have noticed when I haven't had such a healthy start, throughout the day I choose unhealthy options and therefore everything goes out of whack; my mood and motivation descends and  consequently my self esteem cascades into a negative self-bullying, inner mean girl frenzy. 

So in order to combat the inner nasty, it's best to start the day off right, here are some ideas;

- Oat and Chia Porridge topped with your favourite fruit

- Avocado on Whole grain toast (spelt, kamut etc) 

- Green Smoothie 

- (for the sweet tooth) Raw Chocolate NanaNice-Cream 

- Apple slices and nut butter 

- Coconut Yogurt with raw oats and fruit 

- Fruit salad 

- Poached Organic Free Range Eggs and veggies 

- Homemade muesli bar 

- Healthy Homemade Muffins 

- Healthy Homemade Pancakes 

The List really could go on !!! The best breakfast is simple and nourishing, it is also best to see what your body wants (sweet, savoury, hearty, light etc.) in order to feel satiated.
