Enjoying Breakfast :)

My breakfast's are much different than a year ago, which mostly consisted of some kind of oatmeal, fruit, and fresh juice. I've found out that my body needs a different type of fuel to last. I'm a protein type and therefore need more protein and fats to slow down how fast sugars breakdown and metabolize into energy. Before I was eating too many carbs, healthy carbs, but in the end my energy was so low and I didn't quite know why because I was eating really healthy foods. Now that I've added more healthy meats and fats and taken out grains, I've felt better, but still have more to go to feeling my most energetic self.

For breakfast I usually have some kind of mix of eggs, meat, veggie, and a shake filled with really good and healthy proteins and fats. The above pic is two boiled eggs w/ uncured ham, real salt, and pepper. The shake is 1/2 avocado, 1/2 of small apple banana, some fresh papays, a few frozen mango chunks, three dino kale leaves, almond milk, water, and hemp seeds.

 A boiled egg mixed with some of last nights dinner...Apple Chicken Sausage, with sauteed onions and garlic, baked potato chunks w/ Italian herb blend. And some raw fermented sauerkraut. I've been learning tons about how much our bodies and digestive system needs fermented foods to provide good healthy gut bacteria.

And this was my oldest's breakfast request...
Asparagus, eggs, sauerkraut, and "the seed bread".
