breakfast time

our planet makes such beautiful food

without a doubt my favorite time of the day is breakfast time. it's a time in the morning (sometimes later) when we get to fuel ourselves for a journey out into the world. this week has been a good example of what i wanted to eat, what i needed to eat, and when i'm out the door and eating.

what i wanted:
gluten free pancake breakfast at watercourse after a 3 mile run with friends

what i needed:
breakfast salad with avocado, banana and romaine.
dressed with blood orange juice and coconut.

when i'm out the door:
morning pick me up
(makes 2 16oz servings)

28oz distilled water
1 cup chopped and frozen pineapple
2-3 bananas chopped and frozen
1 large handful of kale
1 heaping tablespoon of raw hemp seeds
1/4 teaspoon red cayenne chili flakes
drizzle of raw agave nectar (optional)
pinch of pink himalayan sea salt

Blend all of the ingredients together. Enjoy!
