Green Breakfast: Start getting your 5-a-day first thing! Read in a supermarket newspaper that breakfast cereals are being rapidly replaced by fresh & green alternatives (green smoothies, spinach and eggs, salads) as the preferred breakfast choice in the UK.
That seems like a good thing to me. I still remember how breakfast cereals would get stuck in my sons' teeth when they were little and took a lot of brushing to get them clean. Same for adults too, of course :D
Linking this new, social media led trend (fuelled apparently by 'fresh and healthy' bloggers) to the ongoing promotion of the Mediterranean diet as being healthiest, brings me to comment on the healthy breakfasts I used to have in Turkey when I lived there, and especially with my then in-laws. We would always sit down to fresh tomatoes, cucumber and olives every breakfast, usually served with some form of cheese, boiled eggs, and loads of fresh PARSLEY! ... and daily baked bread.
Yes, parsley was a common nibble with our mediterranean breakfasts - lots of goodness there and grows so easily in UK climate - no excuse not to have some growing in the back garden or patio.
What is your green-ist breakfast?
