Breakfast Recipes

My Wake-up Cleansing Drink

Use organic as much as is possible

juice of 1/2 lemon

1 teaspoon Tumeric

1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or black pepper)

1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (NEVER use table salt)

1 and 1/2 cups warm water

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Drink this first thing in the mornings. It lowers blood pressure and helps with controlling inflammation, which is the major cause of disease. I challenge you to try it for 30 days and notice the difference! If you are diabetic, I would suggest leaving out the maple syrup or honey. I drink mine without the sweetener.

Drinking water or this cleansing drink first thing in the mornings has many health benefits. Check this website to read more about the benefits. http://www.healthyfoodhouse.com/see-happens-drink-water-empty-stomach/

Breakfast is the most important part of my day! During the week, when I need to go to work early, I will usually have a fruit bowl, cereal, and toast. On weekends, when I have more time, I will usually become creative and make elaborate breakfasts. Some of these, I have found on the internet or in books and I added my slant to them, some are my complete creations. Enjoy!
