what then shall i do this morning?
how we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
- annie dillard
when you wake from your nightly slumber as the sun rises each morning, do you take the opportunity to revel in the beauty of a new day? perhaps you roll out your mat and greet the day with sun salutations, waking your body and your spirit. perhaps you plunge into a warm bath before choosing which pair of heels matches your pretty almond-hued dress. perhaps you let your thoughts become cursive writing on the recycled pages of a cloth-bound journal. the morning is ideal for starting the day with a fresh body, with a fresh mind and a fresh spirit.
let these yummy & nourishing suggestions inspire you to enjoy the perfect breakfast for you... and a brighter morning!
whole oatmeal or quinoa, with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom
museli topped with greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey
any delicious, seasonal fruit from your produce market
roasted sweet potatoes with sea salt and tomato preserves
homemade granola squares that are quick and portable, made with pumpkin seeds and dried fruits
smoothies made with greens, fruits, cacao nibs, almond milk and spices
toasted ciabatta with fresh ricotta and sliced cherry tomato
almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans
homemade baked goods that incorporate whole grains and vitamin-rich produce, such as beetroot muffins, a zucchini loaf or whole-wheat blueberry scones
a warm cup of your favorite hot beverage, whether it be a fresh ginger infusion, an organic green tea, a rich espresso or warmed whole milk with chai-inspired spices
tell me: how do you greet each morning?

Yum! These all sound delicious. My favorite breakfast of late has been a slice of multi-grain toast with some almond butter and organic fruit preserves, alongside fresh fruit and a big mug of green tea.
Thanks so much for posting this, as I am always looking for new yummy ways to start my day...now I have some new ideas of things to try. :)
I like the MorningStar Farms soy breakfast sausages, although I try to limit those, as it's still a processed food. Baked sweet potatoes are a favorite as well.
This morning was 1/4 avocado mashed with 1/3 c of canned chick peas as a "sauce" for some steamed broccoli and a MorningStar Farms veggie burger.
