7 days, 7 breakfasts

Oh, mornings... My favorite part of the day. Why? Well, let me tell you.
Every morning when we wake up, it's like a new chance. What happened yesterday doesn't count, it is a new day, a fresh start. The sun is slowly rising and the city is little by little waking up. The soft sleepiness fills the air and we feel energized after a good night sleep (obviously depending on did we actually get the good night sleep or did it go just a little too late last night...). Everything is new and exciting, and no one can know what will happen today. It feels like a beginning of a brand new adventure.
But for my opinion, the best thing about mornings is the breakfast. See, I'm one of those people who never misses the first meal of the day. I just love putting effort to my early snacks, because I know that they're doing a good cause. Eating a good, nutritious breakfast will help you stay energized and on a good mood throughout the day.

Today I'm sharing some lovely breakfast ideas for each day of the week. All of these treats are extremely customizable, so feel free to have fun with these and throw in what ever you like!


Monday: start the week right

This breakfast has everything and it's filled with vitamins. A blueberry-raspberry smoothie and toasted veggie bread, topped with avocado, dried cowberries and a dash of black pepper. A perfect energy boost for the entire week!


Tuesday: fruits & berries to keep you going

This breakfast, again, is a mixture of many things. Turkish yogurt topped with frozen blueberries, plum and this adorable mini banana! As I said in the beginning, all of these ideas are super customizable, so if you don't like what you see, take the liberty to switch these fruits and berries into the ones you like! Turkish yogurt is very natural, so it goes with absolutely everything. 


Wednesday (remember to wear pink): food in a flash



As the week keeps going further, we get more and more tired (at least I do). In the earliest morning, you may not have the energy or time to start creating something very special and complicated for breakfast, and that's why I decided to add the good old homemade granola into the stew. Some unseasoned yogurt and granola on top. Recipe for the granola can be found here: http://isabellamarianne.blogspot.fi/2016/04/the-granola-to-die-for.html


Thursday: something fresh for today


Not much more to go! When the weekend is getting closer and closer, we all could use a fresh burst from the nature, to give us energy and inspiration to deal with couple more days. Keyword: fruit salad! Put together all the fruits that you love and enjoy! Today, I went with pink grapefruit, apple, banana and plum.


Friday (more like Friyay!): getting ready for the weekend

Friday is the last day of hard work and the first day of fun. So, celebrate by putting a little more effort into your breakfast. Toast topped with peanut butter and banana slices, Turkish yogurt (I know, I'm obsessed) with plum cubes and last but not least, orange juice. Very filling, very delicious.


Saturday: something simple, something chill





We all have plans for Saturday and nobody want's to spend the whole day in the breakfast table. So, I prepared something quick, but very very good: mango flavored Turkish yogurt (Okay, I'll consider rehab), blueberries topped with cinnamon and granola topped with shredded coconut. For my drink, I chose something that could rinse off all the stress from the week: stress-releaving green tea. Yums!


Sunday: the perfect brunch




























Sunday. The day for resting, chilling with the people you love and eating well. The perfect
way to start the day is a long brunch with your friends or family (or both!). My fave is definitely pancakes or waffles and obviously, endless amount of topping choices. Here I have two versions of the classic waffles: the healthy and the not so healthy. Both to die for and super delish! 

So, those were some of the things I like to stuff my face with in the mornings. Although it's good to remember that there is still soooo many wonderful breakfast ideas out there from omelettes to smoothie bowls, that I didn't include to this post.
If you liked the overall breakfast/morning theme, give this post a thumbsie upsies so I'll be sure to make more of these. Also, comment your favorite breakfast down below!
