What is your most healthy breakfast?

What do you consider your most healthy breakfast and why?
post #2 of 27
I eat two scrambled eggs on a couple pieces of homemade bread (buttered with raw butter) and topped with shredded Dubliner or raw cheese.

Ideally I would drink it with a glass of raw milk, but my morning nausea is preventing that right now and apple juice seems to be the only think I can hold down.

I think it's a great balance of everything I need: plenty of fats, protein, and some carbs.

Hmmm, I would say eggs scrambled with a little raw cream with a slice of homemade sprouted toast with grass fed butter or a smoothie with kefir, fruit, coconut oil, and honey.

I'm gonna suggest two ideas: (eggs are hard to beat)

Option #1:
Poached eggs, served over quinoa and wilted spinach with a little dab of grassfed butter, a handful of wild blueberries, a tall glass of raw milk and a slice of nitrate free-forage raised bacon.

Option #2:
A slice of homemade whole wheat sourdough, spread with homemade raw cream cheese, then topped with sliced tomato, slivers of hard boiled egg, bits green onion and a generous dose of tender, smoked, wild salmon. Served with a mug of warm nettle tea, sweetened slightly with honey with a dash of raw cream.

This is my typical breakfast (I'm boring and eat the same thing every day... ):

2-3 (real) free range eggs and some pastured pork sausage, all fried in ghee and a green smoothie (1 cup greens plus approx 1 cup fruit, and 1 cup of thinned coconut milk)

I think it's healthy b/c it's pretty nutrient dense and keeps me going for a while. Full of good fats too!

I do pretty much the same thing every day... 2 egg whites with spinach on one slice of sprouted grain bread and greek yogurt with nuts and berries.

local pastured eggs with uncured bacon, all dripping with butter or oatmeal that has soaked in homemade whey overnight, with lots of butter and some fresh fruit

a quickie would be a smoothie made with homemade kefir

Local pastured eggs, cooked in coconut oil, with pastured pork sausage, ham or bacon(uncured), naturally fermented bread with pastured butter, soaked oatmeal with butter, cream, berries or maple syrup, raw milk yogurt or kefir, raw milk, or smoothie. mmmm

If not toast and eggs, then oatmeal. I have a two-breakfast system, since I focus on protein first, which is hard when my stomach doesn't wake up for awhile. I have a protein drink first thing. When my stomach empties, eggs or oatmeal. Oatmeal has long-lasting carbs, fiber, and protein. The way I like it (chewy and not too sweet), I get some fat in with butter, extra fiber from flax, and then pretend that raisins have some kind of magical benefit if I have no fresh fruit in it. I get extra protein and calcium from milk in the oatmeal. I like Dannon coffee yogurt with wheat germ or flax, but I don't know that is as healthy as oatmeal. The eggs or oatmeal keep me satisfied until lunch (assuming I had the protein drink). Yogurt doesn't keep me full for long.

I do a big omelet- three pastured eggs (soy free, from a friend of mine ) and whatever veggies I find. Generally, that's sauteed mushrooms, zucchini, onions, and perhaps some leftover roasted eggplant or something from the night before. I top that with green salsa and sometimes add a piece of fruit- this morning it was half a grapefruit.

Toast with peanut butter, because it's better than the days where we eat rice krispies (or cookies and milk ). Ok, I struggle with mornings.

Are you allergic to yolks? I was curious why you only have the whites.

Hmm, for me it's seasonal.

Summer:

-Fresh raw goat milk cheese with fresh berries (the berries here are incredible in summer)

-Full fat yogurt with granola (sweetened with honey) and berries

-Scrambled eggs and bell peppers/spinach/other fresh local veggie in butter. I usually accompany this with some kind of whole grain sourdough bread and butter but I don't necessarily need it.

Winter:

-Soaked rye porridge with raw milk and lf lingonberry preserves (which I am almost out of )

-Scrambled eggs with toast and butter, sauerkraut on the side

-Leftover soup with bread and butter.

-Lamb sausages with sauerkraut, toast w/ butter

This thread is making me hungry!

good ideas.

I mostly make a bowl of cereal/oatmeal and a banana
sometimes a slice of toast

On weekends, we'll make eggs and pancakes with fresh fruit.

I have seasonal ideas too, lol

Now, during the winter months, i mostly cook some sprouted wheat flour buttermilk pancakes topped with organic maple syrup, with some pastured cured bacon or pasture pork sausage with a couple of pastured eggs for me, slathered in raw butter with raw milk to drink.

Then when its warmer out, i like something lighter like a mango or strawberry smoothie or some pastured sausage or cured bacon with a couple of scrambled or gently fried eggs and a blueberry muffin (baked with sprouted wheat flour, coconut oil, and organic or fresh picked blueberries) slathered in raw butter. ETA: OH! and some fruit, mostly a grapefruit, strawberries or peaches with homemade raw whipped cream *droooool* I wanna switch it up this year and include some homemade raw yogurt with fruit.

In either climate, if im rushing around, i make sure to soak some oatmeal with whey and a pinch of sprouted wheat flour and then cook it up the next day with some raw milk, raw butter and organic maple syrup.

I cook these things because they are easy on my digestion (i have trouble digesting things in the morning for whatever reason, its like my insides are still sleeping in bed lol), they are nutrient packed foods and the protein "sticks to my ribs" and gives me sustained energy to get to lunch without snacking if I dont want to lol.

I have a lot of healthy breakfast ideas. I mostly enjoy any breakfast meal prepared with eggs, bacon , French toast, and a nice glass of orange juice.

I have to get up and out the door for work, so there's a couple of things I do. The last couple of weeks I've been whipping up smoothies and taking them with me - kefir, maybe some raw cream, coconut oil, banana, mango, raw egg yolk, maybe some avocado or spinach or whatever else. I also like to make breakfast quiches on the weekend and grab a couple as I go out the door - eggs, grated cheese, chopped veggies (spinach, onions, peppers), hot peppers, baked in muffin tins. On weekends I like to make bacon and eggs with sourdough toast.
