28 Awseome Real Food Breakfast Ideas savorylotus.com

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day.  I wake up ready to eat.  And I usually eat twice before 10am.  Several weeks ago I asked all of you readers on Facebook what you wanted to see more of.  Breakfast ideas was one of the answers.  So here you go: 28 Awesome REAL FOOD Breakfast ideas.

Below I have listed some really amazing,  grain-free breakfast ideas.  I included a few properly-prepared grain breakfast ideas towards the end for those who enjoy a little grain in the morning.  Buen provecho!

    So excited I found this site on fb post by a lunchbox post today. I have been told by my holistic dermatologist to eat better. I have some skin issues. So anyway, I told her unusually eat wheaties with a spoon of sugar in the morning. Or a scrabbled egg. My kids are both picky and usually want pancakes or cereal. My husband isn’t picky. Anyway, I looked at the yum recipes and decided my goal is to try one a week. Yippee. I can’t wait! Thanks again. I really wouldn’t think of these things!

      Yay! I’m glad that you found me. I am always looking for new ideas for food too. You might be surprised how kids adapt to healthier eating when we get creative. 🙂

  • 💗 We choose to live below our means.

💗 We don’t buy things we can’t pay for. We don’t carry debt to maintain a lifestyle. We don’t feel the need to buy the latest brand name or keep up with what everyone else has.

💗 We try to be intentional with our spending, asking ourselves whether something actually adds value to our lives — or whether we’ve simply been conditioned to want it.

💗 We invest in things that align with our values, including our future selves.

💗 And we’ve learned to value things that can’t be bought more than the things that can.
  • Lake life is the life for me…. 🚣‍♂️👙🏊• slow days with sweet friends doing what we love ❤️
  • 💗 the older i get, the less interested i am in building a life that looks good from the outside • i’d rather build one i genuinely love living 

💗 this is my kind of vacation:

* a quiet lake
* my favorite people
* time outside 
* simple meals 

💗 nothing fancy 

💗 i think the  best parts of taking ownership of your life is realizing you get to decide what a good life looks like 

💗 spending time with BOTH of my girls is EVERYTHING  to me
  • ✨ 5 years ago, i completely uprooted my life because i felt a call for something different • i don’t have a single regret 

there is so much peace and power in intentionally creating a life aligned with your values and heart’s desire 

but it takes radical ownership of EVERY aspect of your life
  • 💪fitness is one of the biggest mood boosters in my life—not because it solves everything, but because it consistently gives me space to come back to myself 💪

💪sometimes the workout is the least important part • the real gift is becoming the kind of woman who keeps choosing herself, over and over again 💪
  • ✨this season has changed me in ways i never expected—and honestly, i think it’s making me a better woman • softer, slower, stronger, and more trusting ✨✨
