Premeditated Leftovers
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” so the saying goes. Personally I don’t believe that’s true. Everything you eat is important.
Breakfast is often a “habit” meal. Most people have a strong morning routine. Which includes a regular breakfast. Simple and easy. We do the same thing every day on repeat.
What I call “white floury carbs”. In short, anything that comes out of a package. Many breakfast cereals market themselves as “healthy” when really they’re considerably processed.
Think of an ear of wheat. (You can buy it as “spelt”.) It has a fibrous husk around the outside and flour in the middle. The processing method may take away that husk. That husk is good fibre for us. Our gut biome (those friendly microscopic things that help keep us healthy.) feed on that fibre. Taking away the husk isn’t great.
– Find a recipe or a few recipes that work for you and your family. – Get into a routine. – Be brave and ditch the packages. (If not, go for whole-grain cereal that include the husk.)
I love spelt and would eat it every day. Except I have kids. They won’t touch it. As a happy compromise, we eat oats during the week in the form of “porridge” or “oatmeal”. Rolled oats are halfway between “processed into flour” and “whole grain”.
