Cordelia's breakfast ideas

Cordelia's breakfast kitchen ;-)

Begin every morning with a glass of warm water and lemon juice - this will cleanse the body and flush out toxins.

Exercise (even if you only jog up the stairs) ... If it is suitable for you, do this before eating! If you can't begin preparing a nutritious breakfast...

BREAK FAST - means to break the fast, you should aim to have at least twelve hours of fasting from your last meal until you eat again the next day, your digestive system needs rest.

Breakfast options:

Ah!Juice: If you have a juicer (which I highly recommend) make a fresh juice from approx 8 large organic or peeled carrots, a nob of fresh ginger and two apples.

SLIMSmoothie: plain yogurt, honey, berries (fresh or frozen) whizz up in the blender and drink to start the day with energy.

OOOH Porridge: Make porridge in a pan with oats and water, once thickened add honey to taste and a sprinkling of raisins and seeds.

Rye Toast Treat: If you can make your own great, if not try and look for an organic yeast free kind, toast it and serve with natural peanut butter from the health shop, marmite or honey, use coconut oil as a substitute for butter or marg.

Power Bbbreakfast: Chop a banana in the bottom of your bowl or glass if you're going to be posh, cover with natural yogurt, drizzle over some honey, sprinkle with seed mix, raisins, chopped apricots and enjoy.

For coffee drinkers,  I love coffee too but I save it for the times I really need it. Instead green tea, the loose kind is the best if you can get hold of it; this contains caffeine which will give you that kick in the morning but it is also heaving with health giving properties!

Herbal teas -peppermint tea is great for digestion and has a soothing effect on the whole body. For a cleanse try a fennel or nettle based tea and feel refreshed an invigorated!!

Try not to overeat - this will leave you feeling sluggish and lethargic for the rest of the day.
Have a nutritious, tasty breakfast for a great start to the best day!
