Breakfast Five

Breakfast Buffet
​(Otherwise known as a chance to use my charming new bowls!)


As I'm sure most of my patients can tell you, in exhaustive detail, I'm a big fan of centering breakfasts around vegetables and a bit of protein!  Once they give this style of eating a chance, most patients don't want to go back to the way they were eating before.    There are many benefits, including:
  • Reduced exposure to foods that cause many people problems (such as dairy, gluten, and eggs)
  • Reduced exposure to processed foods (such as toast and prepared breakfast cereals)
  • Good appetite control until lunch (imagine not needing to eat a 'second breakfast' at 10:45 AM!)
  • Increased vitamins and minerals

I regularly see my patients benefit from making this change, including:
  • Reduced need for drugs to control blood sugar
  • Weight loss
  • Better hormone balance
  • Increased energy and vitality 
  • Less tummy troubles (*if eating this way gives you more tummy troubles, it would be a good idea to talk to a naturopathic doctor about why that is, and what to do about it)

I have a range of vegetables I find palatable in the morning, including:
  • Roasted Brussels Sprouts, sweet potato, rutabaga, squash, zucchini, and onion
  • Steamed green beans and squash
I recommend preparing the vegetables in advance.   I don't know about you, but I don't have an extra hour to be cooking in the morning!   I'll often roast my veggies the evening before, while I'm preparing dinner.  It only takes about five minutes to prep them, add some olive oil and seasoning, and throw them in the oven.  

This breakfast was made from:
  • Brussels Sprouts I roasted from frozen the evening before (in my cast iron griddle from yesterday's post).  In the morning I just sliced them in half and warmed them in my cast iron frying pan. 
  • Baked Beans
  • These fun little canned cabbage rolls I found in the international section of one of our local grocery stores.   You'll be far more likely to find canned stuffed grape leaves, which I would consider interchangeable.

    What I Eat

    I want to give you an idea of how to eat healthfully on a restricted diet, without a lot of work, by showing you how I eat!  I eat strictly gluten-free.  You'll find A LOT of veggies in this blog!  I eat both fish and meat a few times a week (local and/or humane, whenever possible), and dairy when I'm visiting family and friends, or eating out.   I hope you find this blog inspiring and interesting!
