Thursday, May 31st, 2007...Let's talk about breakfast.

Greetings Divas!

Here's a common question I get from breakfast lovers...

What do detox diet diva's eat for breakfast?!

Now I realize my answer may startle some of you because yes most of us were raised eating the standard American diet (SAD) so we consumed HIGHLY acidic foods to start our day such as high sugar fruits and juices (oranges, orange juice), and sugary breakfast cereals (in fact my favorite was lucky charms), perhaps you had eggs and bacon?

Well, I'm here to tell you there is nothing truly more energizing and satisfying (once you get used to it!) than the Zippy Breakfast...

The Zippy Breakfast was created by Shelley Young, author of Back to the House of Health 2. And here it is...any healthy warm whole grain (quinoa or buckwheat are great choices) add some avocado and tomato. Toss in other favorite veggies you have on hand. Drizzle with oh so good for you flax seed oil or other Udo's oil blend, and top with a squeeze of lemon, Bragg's Liquid Aminos and wha la! Your tummy will be satisfied for many hours. You just gotta try it.

Now, for those who prefer the lighter side of breakfast I recommend you try simply eating a nice juicy grapefruit along with a handful of raw almonds (that have been soaked). Or, you can warm a sprouted grain tortilla in the oven and spread some raw almond butter on top and roll. Now that's one of my favorites.

And, as always remember to hydrate with your super greens and/or alkalized water! Start early!

Cheers to your new breakfast of champions!
