Lentil Breakfast Bowl — The Lovely Crazy

I never use to eat%u00a0breakfast. Or I would drink a pot of coffee and call that my breakfast. (which still happens every now and then) But as I get older I have realized the importance of a eating a healthy morning meal.. If I eat breakfast I have more energy throughout the day. I go to%u00a0the gym in the mornings and find that if I eat before%u00a0or right after that I feel so much better and stronger and am less likely to have a major energy crash.. I also made breakfast%u00a0a routine, where I read while I eat, which is one of my favorite%u00a0parts of the day.%u00a0%u00a0This bowl of greatness has made%u00a0me wake%u00a0up hungry, to the point that sometime I go to bed excited to wake up and eat, and i’ll%u00a0be honest, to drink coffee.(that’s totally not weird)

And I know, this might seem like a strange combination to some, that lentils should not be a breakfast food. But really think about it. Why not? I am a firm believe that anything healthy that%u00a0provides a great amount of nourishment%u00a0is%u00a0good breakfast food. %u00a0

This breakfast bowl is full of everything that I love. It’s backed full of proteins and all sorts of other hearhtly vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (I am not going to list everything) and is%u00a0the optimal form of nourishment%u2026. The perfect breakfast.

Still %u00a0skeptical%u2026Well don’t be because I am telling you, this is oh so tasty. Just trust.

The stuff*%u2026. Cooked and cooled lentils, a carrot, a%u00a0couple strawberries and a small apple, all chopped up. And cinnamon. Don’t forget the cinnamon.

*Note..%u00a0%u00a0I always start with the lentils and carrots but will change uo the mix ins. I like%u00a0peaches, blueberries, cherries, pears, roasted sweet potatoes. I’ll use pretty much whatever I have for fruit in the house. So%u00a0what I am saying is%u00a0%u00a0use whatever you like.%u00a0

Take you stuff, and pile into%u00a0a bowl all nice and pretty.

Sprinkle on a spoonful of cinnamon..

This is for real, the best breakfast ever!

Start your morning right and have a great day!
