Breakfast like a King...

*

An old proverb
suggests that we eat:


Breakfast like a king
Lunch like a prince
and
Dinner like a pauper




After 8-12 hours
without food
our blood sugar
is at rock bottom


25% of our day's calories
need to be consumed at breakfast
to keep us going until lunchtime


The brain needs constant glucose
to function properly
and therefore
breakfast is very important
and not only that,
studies tell us
that those who eat breakfast
are happier people


Protein in the morning
gives you energy
and brain food,
whereas starch
makes you feel calm
serene and happy


We require most of our energy
at the beginning of the day
and least at the end....

So let me tell you
about my breakfast...

I make muesli
by gathering together
sunflower seeds
pepitas
and craisins

bran and puffed rice











baked honey coated rolled oats

lots of walnuts

and crunchy almonds

at other times











I add various dried fruits
I have in stock
like Goji Berries

I make a lowfat yogurt
from a package
of organic milk and
yogurt culture mix

which sets
in the container overnight

and add juice
of the day

today it is orange-mango
but my favourite is apple-pear

and voila,
served with fresh red pawpaw
we have


Breakfast for a king...
