BREAKFAST

Breakfast should comprise at least 25% of the daily calories, and the best breakfasts contain adequate animal protein and fats. Any animal protein will do, even last nite's main course - but we usually go for the more traditional eggs or pancakes (cottage cheese pancakes that is).

Sample #1:

This can be a fast food breakfast by preparing the eggs and peeling the grapefruit the nite before:
2 or 3 eggs, soft boiled (or if you must, hard-boiled)
fresh grapefruit or fresh  or frozen unsweetened blueberries or sliced tomatoes
2 or 3 oz Niman ranch ham, sauteed in butter - or 2-4 strips crispy Niman ranch bacon

Sides can include: green tea, or herb tea or tomato or green veggie juice and/or raw milk

If additional "sides" are needed or desired: Sliced tomato, Cortido (a fermented, home-made Spanish-style sauerkraut described in Nourishing Traditions) or as an acceptable alternative Sanja's Kimchi or toast and butter. (Although we don't eat much bread, we do like Ezekiel's Sprouted Cinnamon Raisin or Trader Joe's sprouted multi-grain bread because we are basically lazy and these are reasonably nutritious and easy to find)

Sample #2:

The ultimate fast food breakfast: milk shake, like grandma used to make taken from The Recipe for Living Without Disease by Aajonous Vonderplanitz:

1 to 3 raw eggs, from clean, healthy, pastured hens
3 to 6 ounces raw milk
2 to 4 ounces raw cream
raw honey (or we often use stevia)

We always tamper with recipes and like to add our own spices to taste, such as cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg and when we don't have cream we just use a bit more milk and we always use at least 2 eggs. We also usually have one of the following: a "green drink" such as PH Green Zone with fresh bee pollen added before our milk shake, or mid-morning as a snack - or raw grapefruit and green tea.

Sample # 3:

More fast food meal ideas:

"Crispy" or dry roasted nuts or seeds and/or chunks of raw cheese and slices of low glycemic fruit (including sliced tomato) and/or good quality plain yogurt or kefir or raw milk; smoothies made with raw milk or yogurt - or coconut milk - or homemade almond milk - and fresh or unsweetened low glycemic frozen berries plus raw eggs or a high quality, low heat protein powder, raw honey or stevia, fresh ground flax seed (Make your own recipe according to taste, just use the best ingredients you can find, and focus on low glycemic, lower acid foods. Raw fruits are for the most part alkaline.)

Sample #4:

2-3 eggs scrambled with mixed peppers, onions, tomatoes etc plus 2 or 3 oz Niman Ranch Ham, all sauteed in coconut oil, seasoned to taste with sea salt and other spices

Choose similar drinks and sides to those listed in Sample #1 above, as needed

Sample #5:

Another "fast food" breakfast because it can be made in advance and is good for six servings:
Egg custard made by combining about 1 dozen eggs (more if eggs are small) with about 2 1/2 cups gently warmed raw milk, and if desired and needed add some raw cream and/or vanilla and a bit of raw honey. Pour into six 10oz ramikans, top with ground nutmeg and bake in a pan of water for about 22 minutes (or until center "gels") at 275 or 300 degree oven.

Sides as above listed in Sample #1 and as needed.

Sample #6:

Baked Eggs Supreme: prep time under 5 minutes (from The Coconut Diet by Cherie Calbom)
1 or 2 eggs (we ALWAYS use 2 eggs!)
1-2 teaspoons virgin coconut oil (We ALWAYS use a GENEROUS 2 teaspoons)
1or 2 tbls cream
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
If needed melt coconut oil in ramekin. Crack the eggs into ramikin on top of coconut oil, top with cream, salt and pepper. Bake 15 minutes or till yolk reaches desired firmness. (we like a runny yolk.)

Sides as above and as needed

Sample #7;

Steel cut or organic rolled oats, best soaked overnite in lemon juice and water or buttermilk. When ready to prepare, add milk if needed to cover a 1/2 inch or so above oatmeal then heat to just below boil. Turn off burner and cover. Let set a few minutes till ready to eat. Add the following as desired or needed: more milk, a low heat non-denatured unsweetened protein powder (that has been dissolved in a bit of cold milk which is added to oatmeal after it has been cooked); "crispy" or dry roasted nuts; blueberries or other berries (fresh or frozen but unsweetened); a pat of butter or cream. 

herb or green tea or veggie juice to drink, milk if desired

Note, it is best to use raw milk from pastured cows. If you don't have access, then try Trader Joe's Organic Whole milk (with "cream at the top - or unhomogenized - if available.) Can also try home made nut milk or Thai Kitchen whole fat canned coconut milk.

Sample #8;

Cottage Cheese Pancakes with blueberry "syrup":
6 eggs separated
1 1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 to 1/2 cup organic unbleached flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
We sometimes also add a very small bit of raw honey or organic evaporated cane juice

Beat eggs yolks and add flour, salt and cottage cheese. Beat egg whites till stiff but not dry and fold egg-cheese mixture into beaten whites. Bake on fry pan greased with coconut oil, left over Niman Ranch bacon grease or lard. Serve with butter and "blueberry syrup" below, plus Niman Ranch ham.

Blueberry "syrup":
Heat unsweetened frozen blueberries in pan and stir till syrup-like. If more thickness is desired add some fruit pectin. Pour over pancakes and enjoy.
