when i get into a breakfast routine the angels sing. these are the two things i always gravitate towards:
- some sort of an egg scramble. it’s crucial to have one cheese, one green, and one other vegetable. lately i’ve been blistering tomatoes in olive oil, butter, salt and pep, and when those soften i add my scrambled eggs also with salt and pepper. i’ll throw in a handful of spinach, or kale, or even arugula, and let that cook. when it’s almost done i add in some mediterranean herb feta crumbles. always serve with a piece of buttered toast or even crisp up some potatoes on the side. andouille sausage is my favorite protein for this when i have it.
- i literally used to have this everyday for a month a couple of years ago and every now and then i come back to it but never as intensely. old fashioned oats and oatmilk on the stovetop. add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, half of a mashed banana, a handful of chia seeds, some salt, and honey or agave to sweeten. let that cook and assemble your toppings! i usually cut up the other half of the banana and accompany that with any other fruit i might have. i add melted almond or peanut butter, granola, more chia seeds, and i would always add some yogurt, but ik you said dairy free!! mix it all together and you get this slop of oats, seeds, fruit, yogurty goodness and it’s so filling!
there are definitely easier breakfasts but these two are always the most filling in my opinion. banana and toast is always a classic.
