This healthy breakfast sandwich is one of my go-to breakfast meals. It will change your day and increase your energy.
It is a perfect balance of taste and hits all the flavour notes.
Things can become pretty complicated when it comes to what to eat. You can head down a rabbit hole of nutritional facts and opinions about how you should be eating, what you should be eating and when you should be eating. It can all become super overwhelming.
I recommend you spend a few minutes a day checking in with your body and asking it what it needs today. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the answers that you receive.
When you are craving sweet foods, it doesn’t mean that you should grab a cupcake.
Your body is trying to tell you that you are missing something that contains sweetness, like a sweet potato, carrots or beets.
During the month, women’s hormones fluctuate constantly. Our bodies are always whispering what we need that day and month. We are rushing around and too busy to take the time to check in with ourselves. Something I know for sure is that the body never lies. We just need to get quiet and listen.
My healthy breakfast sandwich is easy to make and delicious. It is a perfect way to find balance and nutrition.
Those That Want to hear it from a Chinese Medicine perspective
Arugula– bitter in flavour and a bit spicy, it helps stimulate digestion and is good for the liver
Broccoli Sprouts– have enzymes that are wonderful for the digestion system. They are bitter in flavour and great for the liver.
Tomatoes– sweet, spicey and a bit acidic in flavour, perfect for the liver, stomach and kidneys. Aids with digestion, so tomatoes are a great thing to eat in the morning to set your digestion up for the day. They clear toxins and heat in the body and nourish the yin. For those of you experiencing hot flashes and anxiety, tomatoes are for you!
Shitake Mushrooms– rich, savoury taste and builds up the immune system. Shitakes tonify the Wei qi and nourish the blood. These mushrooms are one of my favourites to add to my meals. They help with weight loss, high blood pressure and headaches. This all translates as they give you more energy and help boost the immune system.
Eggs– are sweet in flavour, and they supplement qi and blood. Moisten the lungs and nourish the yin.
To summarize, this healthy breakfast sandwich has all the ingredients to give you energy for the day, support your digestive system and nourish the blood.
