My three favorite breakfasts as of lately are based upon some of the Mediterranean principles I have been following.
As I pay more and more attention to various longevity research and dive into some of the common denominators of the five blue zones, it alters some of my breakfast ideas.
Don’t get me wrong, I am always tweaking and refining what I eat, and it’ll never be over, so expect this to change as I learn, but in the interim, I thought you may want to try these out to see how you feel with them:
Option 1)
3 Whole Eggs + 1 Additional Yolk (duck eggs when available as they’re higher Vit D)
2oz smoked salmon mixed into eggs
1oz kalamata Olives
2 Tbsp Olive Oil drizzled on Eggs
3oz goat milk yogurt or kefir with 1/2 Tbsp flax meal mixed (this is intriguing science here)
This next option is more of an on the go type option, but works if you want to prep it the night before
Option 2)
2 hard boiled eggs
2 slices of Parma Ham (there’s only salt and ham in this)
Green tea or coffee mixed with 1 Tbsp MCT oil and 1 Tbsp avocado oil (bulletproof tea/coffee)
1/2 medium or 1 small avocado
(If I’m having carbs, I’ll cut avocado by about 30% and add 1/2 cup raspberries or blackberries)
Option 3 is one that my kids really enjoy too. I’m not always the biggest fan of cottage cheese in the morning, but I found this one to be great for families that are in a hurry:
Option 3)
5oz Good Culture Cottage Cheese or full fat Greek/Bulgarian Yogurt (organic, for adults do raw dairy when possible)
1 Tbsp Chia mixed into yogurt or cheese
1 Tbsp flax meal mixed into or on the side
1/2 avocado with 1 Tbspolive oil and a sprinkle of aged Parmesan (tastes unbelievable)
For my kiddos with this one, they don’t always eat the avocado, but they devour the cottage cheese or yogurt.
For the kids, I also give them a HIYA chewable multivitamin (sweetened with monk fruit) to help round out the vitamin profile, but not always.
