GRILLED CHEESE OMELET

Yes another breakfast! It's just so amazing, and I'm trying to encourage everybody to eat breakfast, because its good for you! 

I would like to think I invented this but I'm not too sure. It's basically like grilled cheese but instead of bread, its with eggs and cheese (sorry if you're not a cheese fan). 






1. Beat your eggs, add a little bit of milk (1-2 tablespoons), a pinch of baking soda (to make it puffier), and a bit of salt and pepper for seasoning. And then add in some chopped mushrooms.

2. Prep your cheese if you need to. Like cutting your cheese up into piece, or grating your cheese. 

3. Next, oil your pan and let it heat up and then add your egg mixture. Let it sit until the top starts to get solid and then flip the whole thing over. If you can't, cut the egg omelette in half, and flip it one half  at a time.

4. Next, cut your omelette into 4 quarters and layer it in this order. Egg, cheese, Egg, cheese (etc) you can totally add any type of cheese you like (asiago would be great with this) 

and there you have it! You can eat this plain, or with some ketchup to add some sweet and sour balance.

BLUEBERRY SHAKE


Sometimes I don't like putting proportions or ingredients amount in my recipes especially for simple ones because I believe that sometimes it's all up to the person who makes it to decide how much of a certain ingredient they want to add to match their own taste. I think you guys will be able to handle this one without the proportions! 







Mix the frozen berries, some fresh if you'd like, but I used all frozen, greek yogurt, almond milk, honey and walnuts and blend it all together until smooth. 

If you like your shake to be thicker, add more yogurt, if you want it more liquid-y, add in more almond milk! Top it off with a bit more walnuts and fresh blueberries and voila! 

You can drink it with breakfast, or even add some protein powder and drink it FOR breakfast if you're on the go. But I definitely recommend adding some protein powder if you're going to drink it for breakfast to keep you full for longer! 

This is super easy, and extremely healthy and of course, delicious.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE TOAST, TOAST


This is my go-to breakfast.  When I’m too lazy to make anything, this is what I would make. I started making this in first year of university when they’d serve us very unhealthy breakfasts and I wanted to control what I ate so I made my own toast. Back then it was only with peanut butter and it was just as good until I discovered almond butter.

The combination of banana and peanut butter is already good as it is, but with almond butter, it’s even better. Also, with all of this on your extremely healthy toast, you won’t be able to taste the “healthiness” of your bread.

So for substitution, you can use peanut butter, or if you’re allergic, you can definitely try sesame butter, but almond butter is the way to go.






This is pretty much self explanatory since it’s so easy, but I’ll give the steps to how I made this. 


1. Toast your bread to your liking.

2. While its toasting, cut up your banana into thin slices

3. Next, when your toast it done, let it cool for about a minute or so, so your almond butter doesn’t’ get too runny on your toast. And when it’s cooled down a bit, spread the almond butter and add the slices of banana on top!

Also, you can eat this with some fruit such as blueberries, and glass of almond milk to complete your meal. And voila!  A healthy and delicious breakfast filled with tons of protein to start your day off right.
