The best way to start your day is by having a high-protein, antioxidant-rich breakfast. This kind of breakfast has saved my life. Eating regular breakfasts has made my skin glow, kept me full longer, and improved my gut health. I want to share my top five breakfast recipes with you. These meals will make your skin glow, keep you full, and repair your gut.
Monday: Ricotta Blueberry Sourdough Toast
My mornings start with a soothing drink. Instead of lemon water, I have a skin elixir made from traditional Chinese medicine. My favorite is a ginger and pear elixir. It’s gentle on my stomach and perfect for the fall season. After this, I get to my emails.
By 9 or 10 a.m., I make my breakfast. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with ricotta blueberry sourdough toast. I get fresh sourdough bread from the farmers market. I spread ricotta on it, which is high in protein.
Then, I add a homemade blueberry component. This mixture is sugar-free and packed with antioxidants. I use wild blueberries and add a special skin booster instead of sugar. This breakfast is not just delicious but also great for gut health.
Alongside my toast, I make a matcha latte. I use a frother to mix matcha, hot water, and milk with probiotics. Sometimes, I add a bit of coconut creamer or maple syrup. I love adding pumpkin spice Stevia for a fall flavor. This drink gives me energy without the crash.
Tuesday: Chia Strawberry Oats Pudding
On Tuesday, I start with a cacao drink. It’s a great low-caffeine alternative to matcha. I mix fair-trade cacao with hot water, coconut and almond creamer, and a bit of cinnamon. Sometimes, I add a drop of pumpkin spice. This drink is rich and delicious.
For breakfast, I make chia strawberry oats pudding. It’s easy to prepare. I mix chia seeds with coconut strawberry yogurt and let it sit overnight.
In the morning, I top it with fresh fruits and homemade granola. This pudding is full of protein, probiotics, and antioxidants. It’s great for gut health and tastes amazing.
Wednesday: Natto Avocado Rice Bowl
On Wednesday, I crave something light and comforting. I often eat rice-based dishes, like I did growing up in Korea. Today, I make a natto avocado rice bowl. Natto is a fermented soybean dish from Japan. It’s high in protein, fiber, and probiotics.
I mix natto with mustard and sesame oil. Then, I pour it over rice and add avocado for healthy fats. Sometimes, I add fresh sashimi for extra collagen.
I top it with sesame seeds and perilla oil. This bowl is packed with nutrients like magnesium, iron, and vitamin K. I drink a pear and ginger elixir with it. This breakfast boosts my immunity and helps with digestion.
Thursday: Carrot Banana Muffins and Smoothie
Thursdays are busy, so I need something quick. I bake carrot banana muffins over the weekend and keep them in the fridge. These muffins are gluten-free, vegan, and almost sugar-free. They are great for balancing hormones.
I pair the muffin with a smoothie. I blend banana, cacao, spinach, carrots, and a special skin booster. This smoothie is full of vitamins and antioxidants. The combination of muffin and smoothie is filling and energizing.
Friday: Cottage Cheese Fruit Bowl
Friday mornings are special. I make a cottage cheese fruit bowl. Cottage cheese is a new favorite of mine, thanks to TikTok. It’s high in protein and perfect for a quick breakfast.
I mix cottage cheese with a skin booster and add fresh fruits from my fridge. I top it with cinnamon and a rice-based syrup from Korea. This bowl is high in protein, antioxidants, and has a touch of sweetness. I drink a cacao latte with it, which is another favorite of mine.
Thank you for joining me on this breakfast journey. These meals are my passion. They are easy to make, high in protein, and full of antioxidants.
These breakfasts have changed my life. They keep me away from sugary pastries and give me energy for the day. I hope you try these recipes and feel the difference in your skin, gut, and overall health.
