Breakfast Salads

I don't like breakfast! Cereals, toast - what a waste of a meal. And now I can't have bacon butties or too many eggs...

So I'm having yummy scrummy mega salads - takes me over an hour to prepare and eat but I get a great variety of 'colours', nothing heavy or fattening, includes fruit and garlic and you can throw in just about every alcalizing ingredient you might need! Breakfast like a king...starting with a 'bed' of salad leaves, including tatsoi, cos and spinach...

Artichoke hearts
Olives
Sundried tomatoes
Parsley

Chunks of cucumber
Celery
Orange peppers
Thin slices of red onion
Sweetcorn (from a tin!)

Strawberries
Blueberries
Kiwi fruit

Beetroot

Sprouting seeds or sprinkle of seeds

Cherry tomatoes - work better as a separate salad with onion and garlic

Spoonful or two of a protein grain - bulgar wheat or quinoa

A squeeze of lemon in my apple and mango special vinaigrette (full of special oils, garlic, onion and parsley.

A chunk of Buckwheat bread to mop it all up

  1. I have to agree with you, I have never been a big fan of breakfast either. If I have to have something I will throw some fruit into the blender and have a smoothie.
