20 Healthy Green Breakfast Recipes For St. Patty’s

16 March, 2015 by Giselle Rochford 10 Comments

Hey Friends! How’s it goin?

For someone who won’t be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year, I’ve been harping on it a lot on the blog recently. One of my friends is throwing a St. Patty’s Day kickoff party that starts at 9 am and includes pancakes. Now, breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and I love pancakes, but I’m not too sure about this party. 

A list of 20 healthy green breakfast recipes, for any day, but especially St. Patty's via @ExSloth | ExSloth

First off, will the pancakes even be green? I mean it’s St. Patty’s Day. They HAVE to be green. And, if they are green, how do they become green? Food colouring?!? Blasphemous, I know. There are so many other – healthier – ways to get green pancakes than using artificial dye. And, if the purpose is just to have a little something green for breakfast honour St. Patrick’s Day, why stop at pancakes? I’m not saying to go all out with green ham and eggs or anything, but breakfast options are virtually unlimited, even if they need to be green.

For a really long time avocado on toast was a staple in my diet. I had it almost every Tuesday - mostly so I could have something to post on #toasttuesday. But when I took my extended break from social media last year I realised that I didn't actually want it week after week. And that just made honouring the real cravings πŸ’― times more satisfyingπŸ₯‘πŸžπŸ’š

Moral of the story: Don't let anything but your body & health - not a hashtag, fad or photo op - dictate what you eat. Just do you πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ

Quick thoughts on routines/comfort zones: I went skiing with some friends this weekend which is so far out of my comfort zone I still can't believe I went.
.
1. I get really anxious when I'm away from my apartment overnight (and this trip was ✌ nights)
2. New experiences scare me, especially when heights and falling are involved.
3. I'm scarily attached to my weekend routine and messing with that sends me into a tailspin.
.
Why I'm glad I went: The day started off horribly. There were tears and I had to be rescued by professionals a couple times but I kept going and by the end of the day I was having so much fun I didn't want to leave the slopes. I was also so tired after half a day of skiing I fell asleep before I could even miss my apartment. Lastly, I totally survived without my weekend routine. I have a packed lunch for the day (leftover from last week) I got the store this morning to stock up for the week and I feel more at peace and energized today than I have in too many Mondays to count.
.
All that to say: don't let your fears, routines or comfort zones stop you from experiencing everything life has to offer πŸ’πŸΎ
