breakfast

often for breakfast i make grapefruit juice, using the citrus juicer my mom gave me. (maybe one of my most used appliances!)
recently my brother in law brought us a huge bag of pomegranate, we ate a few, but still have a lot left. so then i got the idea to try & juice one, using the citrus juicer. it totally worked! i don't get a ton of juice, but still enough to really taste it, when combined with grapefruit juice.

i always wonder what people have for breakfast (well, & for every meal). so i'm sure you're dying to know what i have for breakfast......(probably not, ha)
i'll tell you anyway. some days i just have coffee, other times a tea tonic, but on my favorite kind of days,  i'm hungry for real breakfast! 

side note:
i order this bread from julian bakery, because regular bread just isn't good enough for me -_- lol, kinda kidding. but,
i do really love their bread. it's delicious & they use sprouted grains (which cuts down the gluten & increases protein content) & they also have many vegan choices.

today for breakfast, i made a kale, chives & cherry tomato tofu scramble with  avocado toast. 

Kale Tofu Scramble

a few leaves of kale
chives
evoo or coconut oil
1-2 tsp turmeric
one/two garlic cloves

put a little coconut oil in your pan. as it heats up add chopped garlic & some chives. while that heats up, take a chunk of tofu, and crumble it with a fork (before this, you can press the tofu, to drain... but sometimes i skip that part & it still tastes good). as the garlic begins to brown, add the crumbled tofu. let it heat up then sprinkle a little sea salt & turmeric, mix to make sure all tofu is yellow. turn down the heat to low & chop up the kale (& red cherry tomatoes, if ya want!). put the kale in the pan, mix well, let it sit for 30 seconds & turn heat off. add remaining chives & some more cherry tomatoes. (i also added some mung bean sprouts i just sprouted, adds a little crunch, really good)

at this point, i let it sit there, while i make my avocado toast. 

bon appetit!


what's your favorite breakfast?

  1. Actually, I really do question what people have for breakfast, or any meal of the day really. But breakfast can be so darn tricky. I like this recipe, might try it out. Thanks for sharing !
