I’m loving the beautiful weather. It’s weird to think last week was –4 and today will reach over 80 degrees. Warm weather does not mean I give up my beloved breakfast grain bowls; I just eat them cold! (Actually, I eat cold oatmeal in winter too. I’m strange like that.)
Today’s brekkie was a twist on my Blueberry Muffin in a Bowl.
And I ate it outside, in the sunshine!!
(Yes, I had other foods to go with my bulgur. And no, the fabric flower was not one of them.)
Magic Breakfast Pudding
(serves 1)
- 1/3 cup dry bulgur (40g) (I use light, as opposed to dark) (You can also make this pudding with oats.)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup water (240-260g) (Or more, if using oats)
- 2 tbsp (or more, if desired) nondairy creamer (I use Silk)
- toppings of choice (today I went with cacao nibs)
- optional sweetener (When I make this for others, I use 1 pack stevia or 1T sugar)
- 3 drops coconut extract… a.k.a. magic drops (with oats, I use 6 drops)
Cook your bulgur, with the salt, in the water. (I like to cook mine the day before, so breakfast comes together much more quickly.)
Here’s a good tutorial: How to Cook Bulgur.
Right before eating, add remaining ingredients and stir. I like to pulse mine in the magic bullet a few times. You could also use a blender or hand blender… or omit the blending entirely!)
Question of the Day:
What’d you have for breakfast today?
Yummy thought of the day: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip
I had oatmeal for breakfast today 🙂 Topped with goji berries, cacao nibs, and coconut cream….so kinda like a twist on your brekkie! And my second bfast was a kiwi with pumpkin pancakes and coconut butter 🙂
P.S I need a major haircut, too! Blech :/
look at those gorgeous photos! i love it. also i’m jealous of your weather.. it just snowed about 5 inches here, the gorgeous warm weather on friday was such a tease 🙁 have a great day love!
That happened to us a few weeks ago! It went from 75 to -4 in two days. Mother Nature sure has mood swings, huh? 😕
Your hair looks gorg!! I can def relate to your health struggles post…how lucky we are to have such loving friends and family to look out for us 🙂 It was hard, but I’m honestly such a stronger and healthier person for having gone through it!!
Banana,orange and kale postworkout smoothie. Was nearly cocoa-infused thoughh 🙂
Heh, heh…oat bran, raspberries…and a sample pack of cacao bliss. HOLY. !!!!
HOW did anything get so DELICIOUS? My mom came by, saw my chocolately creation, and had a bite from the little packet. Next thing I knew, there was my mother, eating a heaping spoonful of cacao bliss raw. Yes. It’s that good.
LOL Sarah, my mom too! She’s not into healthy food at all, but she loves cacao bliss (or “mounds bar butter” as she calls it)!
I had oat bran for the first time for breakfast. It was tasty, but the portion was so small! Do you think your ‘voluminous oats’ trick would work with oat bran? Now that I’ve tried it, I don’t think I can go back to regular oats 🙂
Yes! It does work! 🙂
I had a big bowl of protein oats after a good workout. Always hits the spot!
Also, glad to hear no one was negative about your post although BP conditions and what not are definitely not something to poke judgement at. Guess you never know, though..
Oh lol you don’t know the crazy anons I sometimes get! They find things in the most benign posts… like my red velvet pancake post! It’s funny, actually!
I had cinnmon- quinoa porridge for breakfast this morning. Warming, nourishing and delicious. People don’t realize the other yummy breakfast grains, besides oats. Sad indeed…
I love quinoa for breakfast :).
Why oh why are you the cutest?! Love the addition of the beautiful rose next to your oat bowl! So pretty like you ; )
I have never had bulgur, I will have to try it!
Love u!
Love u right back, fellow Katie ;).
I’ve never had bulgur, but you sure make it look TASTY! 🙂
I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. In the midst of IF right now, but planning on having roasted chicken + sweet potatoes in a short while.
