February 2018 - Matthew Albracht - Nourish Your Self Whole

I recently added something to my scrambled eggs that you might think crazy, but it was sooo GOOD! I added blueberries.

Might sound awful, it did to me when I heard about it last week, but it is pretty amazing.

Pasture raised eggs are already a great source of choline, b vitamins, good fat, protein and more – they really are a super-food. Add in the blueberries for a powerful burst of antioxidants to kick off the day. Be bold, try it out! I’d love to know what you think.

Here’s how I did it:

Ingredients

3 pasture raised organic free range eggs
1/2 cup of frozen or fresh organic blueberries
1 Tablespoon of grassfed ghee or butter
Splash of coconut milk (or substitute)

Directions

Put you ghee/butter (I used both) and blueberries into a pan on medium heat and let them soften for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix together your eggs and coconut milk in a separate dish, then pour into your pan. I use a small whisk and stir constantly until desired consistency. Eat and enjoy!

This paleo friendly smoothie is silky and delightful.

Veggie and fruit smoothies can be a great way to get a nutritional kick-start to your day. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, fiber, healthy fats and protein (if using powders). All crucial elements to living a vibrant life.

In my smoothie recipes, I typically go with about three quarters vegetable and one quarter fruit (no need to overdo it on the sugar). It’s easy to make and gives me a nice, clean, healthy boost of energy. Has all that I need to get rolling.

RECIPE:

(Makes substitutes as desired or needed. All organic ingredients. I don’t use protein powders, but they can be a great addition.)

1 zucchini
1/4 avocado
1/2 endive
radicchio (handful)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
3/4 cup frozen mango
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut water
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt

Blend, pour and imbibe.
