Breakfast Salad


We've discovered breakfast salads. Normally, back in the states, we'd blend a salad in the morning with kale, frozen fruits, nut butters, and some avocados. Here, though, we've opted not buy a blender since we're going home in July and we're trying to keep our lives free of machinery we won't be taking back with us. While blended salads are absolutely delicious and the nutrients absorbed very easily in liquid form, we're just eating the breakfast salad. It's simple, quick, refreshing, filling and its incredibly high in nutrients. It's also gorgeous to look at. Try it for yourself. It tastes even better if you use organic ingredients. And better for the world if you know where that organic produce came from. Go for it!
And tell us what you thought.


First, fill the bottom of a large bowl with lettuce and arugula and slice a banana on top.


Next, dice an apple and put that on top.


Take an orange, peel it, and dice and spread that on top.


Dice a 1/2 an avocado. Spread on top. Almost done.

Sprinkle cinnamon to your liking. And eat it up. Preparation time 5 min. Yum.


Until next time,
Be Well Little Cell

I love your blog!
I have been a vegetarian for nearly 10 months now, but I have had this desire to make further improvements to my diet. I read through nearly all of your postings and am grateful for the resources, book reviews, personal stories, tips and delicious recipes you both shared!

This was just the little push of extra motivation that i needed :) I feel ready and inspired to make changes toward a more "Nutritarian" lifestyle!

Also... I am so happy for you both. Although it has been many years Ms O'Donnell-Gervase, you are as radiating as ever.

Continue on the journey spreading this positivity and passion.

much gratitude,
Kyria
