“Superfood
Breakfasts” delivers exactly what the title promises.
Quick and simple, high-nutrient recipes that will kick start
your day. The book contains a wide variety of breakfast options,
many of which can be prepared to take out the door with you
in the morning. These recipes are designated by a “Good
to Go” logo, making them easy to find within the various
recipe groups.
There
are 25 recipes in all, including granolas, breakfast bars,
juices, smoothies, smoothie bowls, superseed bread and even
pancakes and parfaits! There is likely something to appeal
to everyone, and it is easy to keep your favorite ingredients
on hand once you've decided on which recipes you will enjoy
the most. I recommend trying some of each category so that
you have a good repertoire, which you switch up depending
on the amount of time you have in the morning, or even according
to how any people you need to feed.
In addition
to photographs of the breakfasts, which are so visually appealing
that they practically leap off the pages, the recipes themselves
are carefully laid out, presented step by step with bonus
super-tips to further enhance your breakfast experience.
I really
like this book and its convenient size makes it easy to keep
right on the kitchen counter without taking up too much space.
I think that, once you try these recipes, you can learn them
easily enough and perhaps adapt them to your own tastes as
well. The only downside I found was when I looked at the nutrition
information. You'll want to be certain to review that information
for each recipe carefully. While there are some, such as the
Amaranth and Blueberry bars containing 229 calories, 26g of
carbohydrates and 12.5g of sugar, others like the Avocado,
Nori and Nut Cream Toast will cost you 929 calories, 66.4g
of fat, a whopping 62.4 grams of carbohydrates, 11 grams of
sugar and 692 mg of sodium per serving! This is indeed a superfood
book, but watch those serving sizes and be careful if you
or anyone you may serve has any health conditions which may
be affected adversely by too many carbs, sugars or sodium.
