Having a Supermorning becomes much easier when you have a super breakfast. 

Realizing the importance of having a super breakfast, I’ve been experimenting with different options for many years. This post shares the two breakfasts that emerged on top after all these years. 

Cold version

This breakfast combines the following ingredients:

• Hemp, flax, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds. I buy the seeds in bulk and mix them together in large plastic containers beforehand for maximum convenience. 
• Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, black- and red-currents. These come in a convenient mixed frozen bag. 
• Peanuts, almonds, and cashews with some raisins and bits of dried fruit. They are also bought conveniently packed together. 
• High protein plain Greek yogurt. 

It only takes a minute or two to chuck all this stuff into one bowl and then it’s ready to enjoy! 

Given that this breakfast contains 15 different nutritious ingredients, each bite tends to be subtly different, creating a highly enjoyable culinary experience 🙂

Hot version

This one has a little less variety, but it’s still super healthy. Here are the ingredients:

• Hemp, flax, and chia seeds, also pre-mixed for convenience as in the cold version above.  
• A little bit of All-Bran flakes.
• Almond milk. 
• Fresh blueberries.

Here, I mix together the seeds, All-Bran, and almond milk in a bowl and then heat it in the microwave. The blueberries are added on top after the microwave pings. 

The chia seeds are a particularly enjoyable part of this meal. They swell quite impressively when heated in moisture, creating a very enjoyable texture. 

Nutrients

For the fun of it, I compiled a list of nutrients provided by these two breakfasts using the nutritionvalue website. Both are tailored to provide about half your daily required calories. 

• Cold version: Here we get almost all the healthy fats, protein and dietary fiber needed for the day. Saturated (not so healthy) fats are kept well below half of the daily requirement and carbohydrates to about a quarter. It also provides essentially every known nutrient, often enough for the entire day. 
• Hot version: This one also provides most of the healthy fats and proteins required and significantly exceeds the fiber requirement. It also contains essentially every known nutrient, with limited saturated fats and carbs. 

Both these breakfasts are super convenient, tasty, and affordable ways to load up on most of the macro- and micronutrients you require for a given day. They also promise a slow and steady energy release for controlling cravings and energy levels and contain all the fiber required for good digestive function. 

I hope they inspire you to do some breakfast experimentation of your own. Being the most important meal of the day, this is certainly worth some of your time. 

See you tomorrow when we wrap up this week’s topic.
