Yes, there is always the eggs and bacon alternative, and nothing is more wonderful than buckwheat pancakes and maple syrup with a poached egg - a Canadian breakfast. But, if you like a cereal to start the day, then the choice of a pre-packaged cereal can be very expensive - or what I think of as expensive.For ages I ate rice cereal, sometimes with pre-soaked buckwheat, or steel cut oats. All very healthy, all good especially with added berries, but sometimes you just want something fast.
Then I discovered puffed corn. A big bag from Coles costs about $3.25. To this I sometimes add a gluten free cereal which are sometimes $7 a packet. I wait for specials and recently bought a box of a carob rice bubble cereal for $2.75 on special. This combination (as in the photo) is quick, and reasonably nourishing when you add milk, fruit juice and/or fruit and a dob of yoghurt. Not too bad in the taste department either. Not as balanced as rice cereal, with buckweat, oats and fruit with a dob of natural yoghurt, especially as I cook this in water not milk - a whole lot less in calorie count.
SPEAKING OF NUTRITION> Elle Macpherson has just launched what she calls THE SUPER ELIXER which she claims "will beautify the whole you". This is actually a green powder and costs $49 for 100 grams in a fancy glass container designed by a famous glass artist. The cost of the third of a page advert which appeared in the Body and Soul section of the Sunday Sun alone would have allowed us to give a scholarship to a couple of needy students.
The point is that we have been marketing our own "Super Elixer" for about half the price for a number of years. You can buy this through our web site, or I can send you a pack of your very own powder if you email me yogafirst@netcon.net.au. The cost? Including postage in Australia $18.50 per 100grams (not $49). No glass jar, no Elle MacPherson, no big advertising budget.
Our powder (like hers) is derived from whole foods and is easily absorbed on a cellular level as she says. Hers has been scientifically balanced. Ours is "organically balanced" by nature. We don't add chemicals so we don't have to work on the scientifc side. Nature has optimised the right balance of nutrition which impacts and supports the body.
Our MAGIC GREEN POWDER (our students call it that)..
*is free from gluten, preservatives and dairy
*suitable for vegans, and those gluten and lactose intolerant
*derived from natural organic ingredients
………..and is designed to support your healthy nutrition and the optimum function of all systems of the human body.
