Breakfast! Most important meal of the day! Most times, breakfast needs to be planned in advance to make it hearty and balanced.., else we end up with just some bread, or juice or cereal!.
I keep looking for options and want to find things quick and protein filled, like eggs which could be cooked in all possible ways. With my family history of wavering thyroid hormones, I cant always use Tofu to fill that void.
So every month, I will round up some of the breakfast pictures and recipes we’ve tried on a post. And with the usual morning time shortage.. these are not the best pictures:)
French Toast: I make french toasts every few days. Seen below is Strawberry Mango wheat bread, coated with oat blueberry batter! and topped with blackberry chutney(recipe similar to Mango Chutney).
Seen below Chocolate oats french toast made with the Chocolate Multigrain bread. No such thing as chocolate overdose in the morning! topped with Maple syrup.

Seen below is Chocolate Multigrain bread with Blueberry Chutney.
Pancakes. Some fruit pancakes every once in a while. Seen below are strawberry pancakes with chocolate chips, topped with Blackberry compote and some maple syrup.
Idli/Dosa(crepe) There are ofcourse the Indian breakfast options like steamed savory cakes like Multilentil Idli, that can be made ahead and refrigerated for 2-3 days, and served with chutneys like Coconut chutney or Garlic chutney or Hummus!. I havent picked up on eating much Idlis in the mornings yet. But these steamed cakes make for a great protein filled breakfast and are one of the widely consumed breakfast and snack in Southern India.
Sprouts. These never fail you. Any whole bean, pea, lentil sprouts, are a nutrient filled breakfast. Some days its Mung Bean, or red lentil or black eyes peas! On warm days, its just a day to sprout!. Heres usually how we have our sprouts. Mung Bean Sprouts spiced recipe. I have to sprout some quinoa ad try that too.
We chomp down some almonds, cashews with each breakfast whenever possible!
Another round up in a couple of weeks! Have a fun Tuesday! The breakfasts are headed to
