Hey guys, welcome back to my cottage kitchen. Today I have some breakfast ideas for you. All of which are quick to put together or can be made somewhat in advance so that they are quick when you’re ready to eat. They’re obviously all nourishing and healthy and they’re going to get your day started off on the right foot. No matter where you’re at in your healthy eating journey, breakfast always deserves your attention and your intentionality because breakfast is what’s literally breaking your fast. It’s eaten on an empty stomach. And not only do we want to get in, you know, different vitamins and minerals at the start of our day to feed our body the nutrients that it needs, but also the composition of what you’re eating at that point in the day can have major impacts on how your body feels throughout the day. And that is because it can really impact your blood sugar either positively or negatively. If you start your day off with a nourishing, well-balanced meal, it’s going to set your blood sugar up for a steady rise and fall throughout the day versus the opposite. If you start with a massive blood sugar spike, you’re going to end up being very erratic throughout the day, which is going to make you feel sluggish, like you have low energy, and it’s going to make you crave even more carbohydrates because your body is trying to bring your blood sugar back up. And those of you who are new to embracing more real food, trying to cook more of your own food yourself to have higher quality ingredients, then can I encourage you to start with breakfast and for a couple of reasons. Breakfast meals from a cooking standpoint tend to have less ingredients. They’re just more simple and more approachable. They take less time and effort. And it’s just a great way to get in the habit of making meals from single whole ingredients. Another thing, if you have kids and you’re now transitioning to making whole real food for them, they’re probably going to like breakfast meals a lot better because they tend to be again simple. They’re often sweet and generally just more well accepted. So, I want to encourage you to instead of maybe grabbing the bagel on the way to work in the morning or, you know, pouring some processed cereal with milk for your kids, try these instead and pay attention to see how they make you feel. So, I recently got a waffle maker and I am kind of obsessed with it. It’s a ceramic one, not like a teflon. I will link it down below for you guys, but so we’ve been making a lot of sourdough waffles. I will leave the recipe linked down below that I love. It’s actually a sourdough pancake recipe, but I use the batter for waffles as well. However, I do tweak it a little bit. First, I use 100% soft white wheat, freshly mil. So, it’s whole wheat, fresh flour, high nutrient content, and then I also add in a little bit of collagen powder to up the protein. So, when it comes to that first morning meal, thinking about how it’s going to impact your blood sugar is so important. So, getting in the protein and the fat and the fiber to help balance out any carbohydrates is really critical. So, I’m getting um protein from the collagen, obviously, the fresh mil flour. That whole wheat flour is super fiber richch. And then I’m adding, you know, butter to the pancakes. There’s a little bit of fat in the batter. So that just kind of helps balance everything out. So I make the batter the night before. The next day I’ll add in um the baking soda and the baking powder just to kind of fluff everything up. Something I love about this recipe is because it’s soaked overnight, that fresh mold flour has so much time to absorb the liquid and it really does get so light and fluffy um as far as the batter and then the end product, the waffles as well. Now, you might be thinking like, I don’t have time to make waffles in the morning. And I don’t blame you cuz honestly, I don’t either either on like a typical busy week morning, but you can make waffles ahead of time and you can freeze them. You can make a big batch and then all you have to do the morning of is throw them at the in the oven at like 350 for 10 minutes and you can have delicious homemade waffles that taste like you just literally made them that morning that are going to be nourishing and delicious obviously and really help get that great start to your day. And you can just freeze them and reheat them whenever you want. So you can make these in advance. So, it’s actually a pretty simple breakfast to throw together in the morning, but it’s tastes homemade because it is. And again, you get all of those nutrients and they are just so delicious. When it comes to collagen powders, my favorite one hands down is the multi-colagen protein by Ancient Nutrition. Ancient Nutrition makes very high quality whole foodbased supplements, which is something that I always look for. They combine ancient traditions with clinically studied ingredients so that they can make the most effective products. There’s a few things you need to know about collagen. First and foremost, it has a very unique amino acid makeup. It contains glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which is unlike other protein sources. It’s also the most abundant protein in our body. So, it can impact a lot of different areas of the body. For example, we always hear about like hair, skin, and nails and our joints, but it can also impact our bones, our digestion, our reproductive system. Now, here’s the thing. Our ancestors consumed very collagenrich diets and it’s just one of those ingredients that has kind of disappeared from the modern diet. So, if you are someone who consumes a lot of bone broth, if you are long, you know, or slow cooking bone in meats, if you are eating meat or fish with the skin on daily, you are actually getting collagen. But most people are not. And in that case, you would want to consider supplementing collagen so that you are actually getting it. But another thing is there’s a lot of different types of collagen. So like type one, type two, type three. And they actually target different areas of the body. Like one might target that youthful skin, that healthy shiny thick hair. Another type might target, you know, your joints or your bones. And the reason I love Ancient Nutrition’s collagen is it actually contains 10 different types. So, it kind of covers all the bases in that one scoop or two of collagen. You are getting all of the different types that are going to target all those different areas. It also contains probiotics which are obviously going to help support your gut. And most importantly, it contains a big dose of vitamin C. And vitamin C is actually needed for the proper utilization of collagen when you’re consuming it. It actually is used to attach the collagen peptides to your collagen fibers. Two scoops will give you a whopping serving of 20 g of collagen. And the best part about collagen powder is it’s literally so easy to use. It basically has no flavor. It’s undetectable. You can stir it into liquids like your coffee in the morning. You can add it to different recipes. And ladies, something to really think about once you’re over the age of 30 is getting in enough protein. After 30, we actually lose up to 1% of our lean mass every year. You have to be so intentional about strength training to build muscle and then also consuming enough protein so that you actually can maintain or build on lean mass. Just another reason why collagen is so great cuz you can just mix it into anything. It’s so easy to boost your protein intake, but also you’re getting that unique amino acid makeup that is kind of missing from our traditional modern diet. So if you guys want to try the multicolagen protein, I will leave a link in the description box below. I also have a discount code for you guys. It’s Bristo B and it will get you 15% off on Amazon. Next up, I’m making oatmeal, which is just a classic simple breakfast. I always make it in the Instant Pot, and I do double the liquid. So, I always do two cups of oats for my family, two cups of water, and two cups of milk, and it makes perfect oatmeal. I just cook it on high pressure for 4 minutes. Now, when it comes to oatmeal, I feel like what you add to it is like what’s most important. I do like to use sprouted, just plain oats, no sugar added. They’re more easily digested because they’re sprouted. Um, but what you add to it makes all the difference. So, I usually like to add some kind of protein. So, here again, I’m using collagen cuz it mixes right in and you can’t taste it and it gives you that boost of protein that is going to help keep you full, but again, balance out those carbohydrates as well. And then I like to always put some kind of nut or nut butter on because again, that’s fat and protein. So, here I’m doing walnuts. And then I usually do some kind of fruit. So, I love bananas and walnuts and cinnamon. That’s my personal favorite. I was out of bananas on the day I filmed this, so I did raisins instead. But, it’s just quick. It’s simple. It fills you up. It’s going to give you balanced blood sugar. Next, I am making probably my kids favorite breakfast, and that is a Dutch baby. I have shared this recipe many times throughout the years. It’s kind of like a healthier version of your standard Dutch baby. If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically like a one giant pancake that you bake in the oven. But what I love specifically about this is it’s very rich in eggs and not so much flour. So, there’s six eggs in here and just one cup of flour. So, you’re getting a lot more protein versus if you were just to eat straight up pancakes. And it’s also really easy to make because you just mix up everything in one bowl, pour it in a skillet with some butter, and then you just throw it in the oven. You can even mix up the batter the day before and just stick it in the fridge and then literally in the morning all you would have to do is pour it in the pan and stick it in the oven and you can be doing other things while it’s baking. It’s obviously very handsoff and I will link the exact recipe down below for you guys. Recently I have been experimenting with using fresh mil flour. Um so I just sub the allpurpose with the same amount of soft white wheat and it actually still turns out pretty well. Um it still puffs up really well. I feel like whenever I’ve tried to make it sourdough, it’s a lot more dense and it doesn’t get as puffy. But just using the fresh milk flour, it still got pretty puffy and it was still a hit in my home. Okay, next I’m going to share with you guys avocado toast, but with a twist. So, I am not a huge avocado toast for breakfast kind of person, but I know a lot of people are. So, if I were going to have it for breakfast, here’s how I would do it. So, first I’m starting with my fresh meal flour bread that I’ve shared that recipe. I’ll link it down below. Um, lots of fiber, super high nutrients because it has fresh mil flour. And then obviously we’re going to be topping it with some avocado. But then here’s where the twist comes in. So topping it with cottage cheese, which might sound gross, but trust me, it’s really good. It’s also delicious with bara cheese on top. Just saying. But this is higher in protein and it’s also delicious. So if you’re able to get like a half a cup on there, it’s a whopping 14 g of protein in addition. Plus, you’re getting all the fat from the avocado, the fiber from the bread. It’s not only so satisfying, it tastes so good, but again, it’s very filling, it’s very well-rounded. It’s gonna be a great way to start your day. Okay, next, I am showing how to make your own granola because it is so stinking easy. You do not need to be buying it from the store and paying an arm and a leg, especially for ones that have inferior ingredients that you can make yourself at home. So, I’ve shared this recipe before. I can um put it down below in the description box, but it’s just my favorite like classic granola recipe. You throw it all together. Everything goes in one bowl. It’s super easy. My kids love to help with this recipe because it’s pretty foolproof. You just kind of stir everything together. It doesn’t take much skill. And then you put just put it in the oven and you let it bake for like 45 minutes or so until it gets nice and crispy. So, obviously granola itself is not just a breakfast, right? But when you are adding it to something like a yogurt bowl, it can not only be something that’s really satisfying, has like a lot of different flavors and textures, and just something that’s like really enjoyable to eat, but it can also be really nutritious as well. So, especially if you’re making that granola yourself, you’re going to be using probably far less sugar than what you’d find in the store, and you’re going to have much higher quality ingredients. And then when you’re topping it on yogurt, which is full of protein and full of fat, and you can even again mix in a little bit of that collagen, you’re not going to taste it. It’s going to give you some extra protein. And when you’re then adding that crunchy fresh granola on top that’s full of fiber, adding it or adding some fresh berries, which are also super high in fiber and your antioxidants and lots of different nutrients. Again, just a great way to start your day. It’s very satisfying, but it’s going to fill you up and give you lots of energy throughout the day. Thank you guys so much for watching this video.
