The Tamesis
If breakfast is starting to feel less like the most important meal of the day and more like a hasty compromise between hunger, convenience, and whatever’s left in the fridge, we’re here to help. Because starting your day intentionally can actually have a huge impact (and maybe even make you a morning person).
The good news is, that doesn’t necessarily mean obscure powders, expensive berries flown in from Japan, or breakfasts that taste like punishment. Instead, consider a high-protein, hearty breakfast packed with fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, healthy fats, and herbs and spices like ginger and turmeric (all of which have anti-inflammatory properties).
Read on for three easy anti-inflammatory breakfast recipes you can make quickly, even if you just want to hit the snooze button.
Berry Oats with Chia Seeds and Walnuts
½ cup oatmeal
1 cup milk or unsweetened plant-based milk
1 small banana, sliced
handful of berries or chopped strawberries
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
a pinch of cinnamon
Cook oats in milk until creamy. Top with bananas, berries, chia seeds, walnuts and cinnamon. If you want it sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey.
Turmeric Eggs with Avocado Sourdough
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon turmeric
black pepper
Salt
1 slice sourdough or whole wheat toast
slices of avocado
Drizzle with a little olive oil
Scramble or fry eggs with turmeric, salt and pepper. Spoon over toast and finish with avocado and a drizzle of olive oil.
Pomegranate and Pumpkin Seed Yogurt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup fruit, chopped
a few spoonfuls of pomegranate
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
a pinch of cinnamon
Spoon the yogurt into bowls, pile on the fruit, and finish with pumpkin seeds and spices of your choice.
