With a little bit of planning and intention, breakfast can be beneficial fuel every morning.
This edition of #sunrise-surprise is extra special
because it represents the first time I've made a meal with the intention of using a wild-picked ingredient. Recently, and I learned that greenbriar, a common and aggressive spreading vine in the US, has both thorns and tendrils. We also learned its tender tips and leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. So much amaze!
From a young age I learned food is important, that we truly are what we eat, and that our daily food choices impact our quality of life greatly. Now that I'm a little bit older than I used to be, I am seeing firsthand the impact of my food choices on my “human suit”. I haven't always been on the higher culinary path, but I'm here now and I'm making better choices every day.
Some steemians who have inspired me to look outside for food are

THANK YOU!
#sunrise-surprise is breakfast made enternamehere style, which means meals that are quick, tasty, and flexible. Enjoy!
Starting the day with a nutritious breakfast is essential because when trash goes in, trash comes out. Therefore, I like to create mindful plates for myself as a way to say thank you to myself, to my Creator and to the people with whom I interact. When I disregard a thoughtful first meal, I almost always turn into a hangry anti-productivity creature MoNsTeR. Perhaps you have encountered that same creature lurking within you some mornings.
