Everywhere I go I see ads for ginormous breakfasts- waffles with butter, syrup, whipped cream, and a side of bacon OR an egg sandwich on a large bagel with cheese and ham and sausage, for example. OH YA- don't forget that side of home fries!! And for an extra buck perhaps, make it two sides.
The other day after waking I thought to myself, 'Geez. All I want for breakfast is something wholesome, hearty, quick and simple.' I thought. What did I eat when I was kid? Well there are many foods as I kid that I would absolutely not eat as an adult, but I took the concepts from the past meals.
My breakfast was a bowl of Kashi Go Lean cereal with 1% milk and strawberries. I laughed to myself. So simple. Yes I have cereal now and then, but I think we all get caught up in one advertisement or another. Should I have eggs for breakfast? And why kind of bread should I buy? With or without cheese? The questions go on and on...
I cant even tell you the last time I put fruit into my cereal. It was great! I loved it. By no means is this a new concept. It's just a matter of taking a step back and realizing that you already know what to do; it's having the strength to avoid the mixed media messages (ie those whole grain high sugar cereals.) Take a step back. Think simple! And voila!
