The 1-Minute BCW Breakfast

I know my mornings can often feel busy, just as most of the people on the planet would agree. There is work to get to, people to care for, pets, traffic, and somehow the ME in this equation can get lost in the routine. I hope you have already picked up my Balanced Cat Wellness Guide that offers 6 simple shifts. But here I wanted to share my favorite breakfast, I truthfully eat it almost everyday because it makes me happy! There is something magical about making even an ordinary breakfast feel a little more intentional.

¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup oats
¼ cup granola
¼ cup fresh fruit

I set the kettle up to make a cup of tea and while it is heating, I warm up a cup of bone broth (don’t YUK my YUM), then I pour hot water to steep the tea and pour some hot water over the breakfast bowl. Layer the ingredients into your favorite bowl. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, or whatever makes it feel special to you. And then mix it up so it becomes a warm, tasty, nourishing treat. 

Then - and this is the important part - give yourself time to actually enjoy it! 

Notice the colors.
Notice the textures.
Notice the first bite.
Notice your surroundings.

I usually eat while watching squirrels run around the backyard. They are usually tearing through my feeble attempts at a garden :) It doesn't have to be fancy or elaborate to be meaningful.
