Post-Election Breakfast
This morning on Pacific Palate we welcomed newly elected NDP MP Libby Davies and unsuccessful Liberal candidate Keith Henry. I served them breakfasts made up of ‘Superfoods’. Superfoods are being acclaimed by medical experts for containing disease-fighting, health-boosting nutrients critical for good health. Capers Community Markets has come up with a Superfoods Healthy Eating Plan to help you ‘refresh your relationship’ with food. Here are two recipes from the Eating Plan booklet, available at Capers for just one dollar.
Breakfast Burrito (1 serving)
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 tbsp. green onions, thinly sliced
dash of cumin and chili powder, salt to taste
1/4 cup salsa
1 whole wheat tortilla
Pour eggs in a pan lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Add onions, spices and salt. Stir. Add salsa. Cook eggs, stirring, until firm. Heat tortilla in a microwave or dry skillet. Roll eggs into heated tortilla.
Prepare the night before and wrap in wax paper or foil for an easy, grab n’ go breakfast.
High Protein Fruit Smoothie (1 serving)
1 scoop whey or soy protein powder
1/2 cup blueberry juice
1/2 peeled and sliced banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/3 cup organic plain dairy or soy yogurt
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix ingredients in blender and whir until smooth.
