When you start a day with a delicious, nourishing breakfast prepared whole foods (and a whole lot of love!), you set the right tone for your day, opening up space for magic. How does your perfect morning look like? The kind of morning that gets your day started with energy, loving thoughts, and excitement?
It doesn’t have to be anything big. It’s the small, but meaningful things that count.
One of my rituals is sharing my breakfast on Instagram. It’s fascinating how healthy food has the ability to bring together so many like-minded positive people! This month, don’t miss We Dare You To Share campaign that dares you for three healthy challenges with a chance to win awesome prizes (like iPad and $400 Amazon gift card to stock your pantry with superfoods). One of the dares–drum roll please–is to share a photo of your healthy breakfast. How about we #breakfastcriminalize the page with submissions?
Let’s show them how healthy breakfast is done, we only have until the end of March! You can also take a simple nutrition quiz to test your knowledge and share your opinion about a food label video on www.wedareyoutoshare.com
Back to little important sweet rituals… my ideal morning starts with a meditation followed by a cup of matcha latte and journaling, a little bit of flowy stretchy free movement, and then comes the important decision: am I in the mood for a cold or a warm breakfast? In other words, am I making an açaí bowl or an oatmeal? Sometimes, the answer is crystal clear, and sometimes, no matter how much time I spend eyeing ingredients for both options, with freezer door open and closing, the answer just seems to fall right in the middle.
For those days, I have the Purple Love Oatmeal with Açaí Berry. Combining nourishing warmth of oatmeal with divine purple goodness of açaí berry, it hits every time. Adding not only beautiful color, but also nutritional benefits–açaí is a true beauty food that’s rich in antioxidants, minerals, vitamin C and healthy fats.
