Basic Macro Breakfast





Basics of a macro breakfast is porridge and greens, even adding a side of miso soup would be great.

Porridge 
It's important to use only whole grains.  My favorite mix is millet with brown rice and forbidden black rice.  However, you can mix any whole grains you want:  buckwheat, buhatnese rice, sweet brown rice, etc.  Place 1/2c of mixed whole grains in rice cooker and fill up to slightly passed the mark inside the rice pot that says "Porridge-0.5"  Then you can set the timer that you want the porridge ready by in the morning.  Be sure to top it off with some shredded nori or seaweed flakes (here i used dulse flakes).  *better to get ones that have no added salt*

Steamed Greens
Any of the following greens are good, you can even mix them up if you want:  collard greens, kale, chinese/napa cabbage, bok choy, broccoli/broccolini/rapini.  Be sure to stay away from spinach.  Steam in a pot with either a steamer plate or you can fill pot with little bit of water and steam it that way.

Be sure to eat this breakfast slowly so your body can easily digest in the morning.
