Take Your Breakfast to a New Level

Posted on November 20, 2019 by

Let’s talk about the typical American breakfast: namely toast, bagels, muffins, waffles, pancakes, “cereal,” biscuits and bread. Basically just white flour and sugar. Stripped carb. For example, “cereal” really means grain (like oatmeal, millet, kasha, bulgur wheat), and not boxes of sweetened, dyed, highly processed products of limited nutritional value.

Even people who have made the switch to real food and who have rid their kitchens of items from that list of typical American breakfast foods above (at least most of the time) can still be strongly influenced by the list.

Click here for inspiration to re-image your breakfast.
