Lately I've been making fruit smoothies with strawberriers, blueberries, tons of spinach, yogurt, slices of orange, milk... this one below has a raw egg in it. I make it because it's easy and delicious.
What's your standard breakfast, hubski?
Coffee. Just coffee. And that's actually a somewhat recent addition, the regularity of it. I love breakfast foods more than anything else, but I've always felt sick if I eat in the morning, and if I do, I'm starving by noon. coffee alone makes everything normalized and I feel less of a desire to eat garbage foods throughout the day.
You, mk and I are in the same boat, we prefer not to eat breakfast and find it actually makes us hungrier by lunchtime if we do. These days, due to peer pressure, I usually have a small greek yogurt in the morning. Otherwise, an energy drink (judge away!).
Actually, no, but funny story. I grew up in the East Bay of SF. E-40 lived in the nearby super-rich gated community. Around the time I was in my freshman and sophomore year of high school, he was really big on the 'hyphy' movement. It was just, like, a subculture of hip-hop around the Bay Area. Anyway, he created an energy drink by the same name, and every so often when school got out, he had these crazy, tricked out ice cream truck-van-hybridized car things roll around with massive speakers on the sides blasting and would hand out the drink free. I don't know if he ever handed them out himself, but the kids went fucking apeshit for getting some. It was kind of a cool thing to see.
I tend to have coffee with cream and sugar (I know, I know..) and many days I'll have a guru energy drink, but I only rarely will have any kind of food. Liquids only in the AM.
Simple breakfast for me. I'll have Weet-Bix, which looks like this: And then I'll follow that with two slices of toast with peanut butter on both of them. I like my breakfast to be simple because I'll often have to go to uni, so the quicker it takes to prepare, the better it will be time-wise.
I seriously had to Google what they are. No, we don't have them in Australia. You guys (assuming you're American) have come up with, er, creative foods to have for breakfast. Why are they depressing to eat?You guys don't have Toaster Strudels or Toaster Scrambles down there? They're depressing as hell to eat, but fast, efficient, and filling.
So, you're saying that if you buy this: The resulting flavour would be nothing like cream cheese and strawberry? Come to think of it, does cream cheese and strawberry even combine well for a breakfast food?Because they taste like they're trying to taste like what you see on the box, but they don't actually know what you see on the box should taste like.
It tastes like fake cream cheese and strawberry in a flaky crust with goopy frosting. While I can't say anything about cream cheese and strawberry, berry and cream combos go really well together. Dala and I are pretty into some scandanavian yogurts right now. They're thick and substantial, not very sweet, and kind of bitter, but very good. Our go to flavor is vanilla, because vanilla yogurt with strawberries or blueberries and a bit of granola is amazing. You can dip cookies in it, which is also amazing. Best of all, you take a bite of the yogurt, then a sip of black coffee, and the two complement each other so well.
My breakfast recipe:
My mom's recipe: Maybe it's time for a compromise1/2 cup full fat greek yogurt
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1 frozen banana
Protein powder
Splash of milk/ OJ for consistency.
1 Big handful Kale/Spinach/Chard/etc
I'm not a fan of juicing. I think (And my nutrition professor thinks) that there are some important vitamins/minerals/phytochemicals/good stuff in the fibers of those plants that you don't get in the straight liquid. Also it's not nutritionally complete for a meal or meal-replacement with only juice. When I take the time to do my shakes properly and include some fat(Coconut oil mostly, I'm gaga about the stuff) and a few other veggies, it's got about 1/3 of my daily values of a ton of stuff, and it's DELICIOUS. And it makes very few dishes. I'm all about the multiple skillet prep omelets, baked goods, hollandaise sauce... When someone else is cleaning up.
Depends on where I'm living. I used to eat phở all the time (which is actually mostly a breakfast food or an in-between meal). Phở is a great breakfast, especially when hungover. Just add fresh chili, fried chili and extra lime juice. I'm also a big fan of croissants, but good croissants are hard to find. Other than croissants and phở, leftovers usually do me just fine. I don't get why so many people are so particular about "breakfast food" and get excited when they "get" to eat something like pancakes for dinner. Food is food. Whatever I eat in the morning, the most important for me is a big glass of water.
I usually go for the traditional sunny side up eggs, thick cut bacon, and toast that's been cooked in the remaining bacon grease. It gives the toast some extra flavor, and increases chance of a heart attack by 50%. Have that with a side of OJ and some coffee. Doesn't take too much time to make either, and I feel good because I made a good looking breakfast.
Not a morning person and as i'm usually running late a cup of tea or coffee will do. Maybe with a nutella toast or bagel if I have extra time. (Dammit I haven't realized how much I missed proper bagels until now) I love breakfast food tho so on weekends I try to have a proper breakfast. Crepes, eggs, omlettes, french toasts, croissants... It's all so gooood :)
I love a good fried egg sandwich - whole wheat english muffin and some fontina or cheddar, so good. Also echo the other people saying smoothies. I tend to just dump a lot of frozen fruit together with a banana, almond or coconut milk, and some combination of powders that I'm feeling that day - spirulina, maca, creatine, or calcium.
75g of whey PLUS pb and milk? Are you made of digestive enzymes? D:
A bowl of cereal with fat free milk, a cup of yogurt, and a hard boiled egg.
Coffee or tea to get me going and a hot bowl of thousand year old eggs and pork porridge to fill me up.
I am very serious about the egg. The are eff'ing awesome!!
For me, Chinese style porridge tends to be on the bland side (but I will still eat congee whenever I get the chance!) but that might be because it's supposed to be easy to digest. Anyway, some versions that I like are the Vietnamese cháo vịt and the Filipino arroz caldo.
Hmm.. certain regions of China do tend to make the congee a little bland. But if you're in the U.S. where most of the Chinese folks are from the Guangdong region, that should not be the case.
