onto todayās topic: my hot takes on breakfast š„£
today we were out of avocados, and i was devastated because pretty much all of my breakfast options revolve around them. its been on my mind all day so thatās why todayās post is about breakfast!
1. youāre supposed to brush your teeth before breakfast
i donāt even know how this is a controversial topic. i cannot eat or drink anything after waking up if i donāt brush my teeth first.
2. cereal before milk
i pour my cereal correctly: before the milk. the other way is just awkward. youāre just throwing cereal onto milk and hoping it doesnāt spill. when cereal goes first, you can measure your portions easier and let the cereal soak up the milk. cereal isnāt supposed to float on milk .. itās supposed to be in it. š¬
3. waffles are pretty mediocre
EXCEPT costcoās sugar belgian waffles ā those are delicious. maybe itās because iām biased towards anything my mom makes (pancakes!), but waffles have just never impressed me. i only enjoy waffles if the strawberries, syrup or whipped cream are good, so do i really like the waffles or just the toppings? pancakes, on the other hand, reign supreme. especially apple cinnamon ones.
4. breakfast is a NECESSITY.
obviously, there are a bunch of health benefits, which i wonāt bore you with, but eating breakfast is so satisfying. iām not saying to eat a feast, but even having a bowl of fruit is energizing. š i feel productive when i cut up some fruit or slap together a grilled cheese sandwich, and afterwards i have the energy to actually do some work. itās a win-win. this is your sign to convert to eating breakfast!
5. i eat nachos for breakfast sometimes ..
hear me out. my breakfast nachos are completely different from actual nachos. chips, cheese, veggies, and homemade guac for dip? itās basically just a breakfast wrap, with the tortilla being baked to make chips.
i always have to start my day with breakfast (after brushing my teeth). i feel refreshed, productive and even my creativity is challenged when the avocados or cheese are finished. š§
what did you have for breakfast today?
