If you think about it, it takes an average of 5-10 minutes to get through dunkins or starbucks, at least at the ones I frequent. It takes less than 3 minutes to whip up a healthy breakfast and even less if you prep it the night before. I guess healthy is subjective. I consider yogurt, flax, honey and fruit to be a healthier alternative to starbucks and dunkins, though some could argue that the sugars and fats are not "good" for me. That's another story for another day.
I believe in starting my day out light. Who died and made eggs, sausage, toast and hash a breakfast food? Personally, I prefer something like that at dinner. Something heavy to put me right to sleep. Start my day like that? Sure, I'll do it because I am accustomed to it but I really don't feel great afterwards. Life is short. Or as Gretchen Rubin would say "the days are long, but the years are short". Well, if the days are indeed long, I want to start off right. I also don't drink coffee (when I do have coffee, it's because I like the taste). My good friend Alden once pointed out that he ate a fruit whenever he felt sleepy, the natural sugars gave him a boost. I thought he was full of it but here I am, eating fruit for breakfast to feel more awake.
Breakfast:
Full fat greek yogurt: I just got into the greek yogurt "craze". I like it because for its consistency.
Raw honey (teaspoon)
2 teaspoon of raw organic flaxseed (crushed/shaved/whatever)
Smorgasbord of fruit: today it's kiwi, cantaloupe, strawberry, blueberry, grapes and pineapple.
- I buy the fruit spread at wholefoods for 20 bucks and it lasts about 10 days. Yes, I know this is expensive but you know what? The fruit is always sweet, never sour, it's always fresh and I am much more likely to eat it if I don't have to wash/cut/peel and pack it.
