My Power Breakfast!

Because I want to make the most of my day, I do what I can to start my day feeling great. A strong start sets the tone for what's to come. With a good beginning, every day can be a carpe diem kind of day. 

For me, that means having a power breakfast.

Lunch and dinner? Lots of room for improvisation there. But, at breakfast, there's one meal that leaves me feeling totally satisfied and ready to rock.

Oatmeal.

Yes, ladies and gents, oatmeal is my go-to. 

But, before you think "yawn," let me tell you: my oatmeal is not just any oatmeal.

My oatmeal is made with a tablespoon of chia seeds and a teaspoon of maca powder.

It is seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg (sometimes a dash of cloves if I'm feeling spicy).

I sweeten it mostly with berries (blueberries are my favorite, dried goji berries come in at a close second), but also with a touch of honey or maple syrup. I might add one or two chopped dried figs or prunes on a special occasion. If I'm feeling extra hungry, I mix in some pumpkin seeds or almonds.

On mornings I want to feel super fresh, I supplement this breakfast with a homemade green smoothie.

After I finish my oatmeal, I usually go for an egg-over-easy, and drink some tasty organic tea.

Sounds like perfection, right?

It is. 

In fact, it's one of the few things in my life that I feel like I've completely figured out.

While my power breakfast might not be your power breakfast, I think it's important to have some sort of consistent morning routine that starts your day off in a way that leaves you feeling fired up.

What's your power breakfast/morning routine?
