What is a "good breakfast" to start the day?
Avocado and Poached Egg Toast
Ingredients:
• 1/2 avocado (mashed, leave it on the chunkier side if you like!)
• 1 slice organic whole wheat bread (toasted)
• 1 whole organic free range egg
• 1 dash of Himalayan salt (to taste)
• 1 dash black pepper (to taste)
• 1 dash of hot sauce (to taste)
Steps to Make It:
1. Toast your whole wheat bread until lightly browned but still slightly soft. A really crunchy toast will be hard to eat with the toppings.
2. Mash your avocado, leaving it as chunky as you like. Sprinkle a little salt onto the avocado.
3. Poach your egg, or use a fried egg, whatever you prefer!
4. Spread the avocado over the toast. Top it with your egg. Sprinkle a little hot sauce on top if you like and another sprinkle of salt! Dig in and enjoy!
5. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled but is best done single serve, this way the toast stays crispy, the avocados stay green, and the eggs perfectly poached!
Almond Banana Cinnamon Smoothie
Ingredients:
1. 1 cup vanilla almond or organic coconut milk
2. 1 large banana (peeled and cut into chunks or use a previously frozen banana)
3. 2 tablespoons raw organic almond butter (unsalted). You could also choose cashew butter.
4. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling)
5. 1 teaspoon raw organic honey or 2 dates.
6. 3 ice cubes
7. Optional: add 1-2 scoops of raw vegan protein.
Steps to Make It:
1. Place the milk, banana, peanut butter, cinnamon, and honey (if using) into a blender, and puree until smooth.
2. Add the ice cubes and pulse just until the ice is crushed.
3. Pour into a glass, sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
Cinnamon Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 cup organic buckwheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of Himalayan salt
2 cups nutmilk (unsweetened almond or coconut)
3 tablespoons organic virgen coconut oil
2 large whole organic free range eggs
Additional oil for pan
Raw honey, for serving
Steps to Make It:
1. Gather the ingredients.
2. In a large bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and eggs.
4. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just blended. Often when making pancakes, the recipe calls for the wet and dry ingredients to be mixed until 'just blended.' The reason for this is that mixing flour with liquids begins to develop the gluten. These proteins are what give pancakes, muffins, and cakes their structure. Over-mixing can lead to baked goods that are tough, gummy, or unpleasantly chewy.
5. Heat a thin layer of oil in a nonstick griddle pan or skillet. When the oil is very hot, spoon in about 1/3 cup of the batter for each pancake. When bubbles form on top, flip pancakes and cook another minute or until set.
6. Serve with raw honey and enjoy!

Important! Soaking your rolled oats in warm water overnight
