Morning is my favorite time of day. It’s quiet, stress-free (well, usually), and full of lots of energizing things:
black coffee…

reading material…

sunlight…

stovetop oats…

[clearly not on the stove]
My version:
- 1/2 c oats
- 1/2 c soy milk
- 1/2 c water
- 1 banana (1/2 cooked in, 1/2 added at the end)
- various assortments of fresh and dried fruits
After cooking, I add:
- 1 T ground flax
- a couple spoonfuls plain yogurt
- various assortments of nuts and nut butters
Fun fact:
My bedroom has no natural light due to a complete lack of windows. I live in a studio converted into a 2 bedroom (it’s not as dollhouse-sized as it sounds), but the tradeoff was that only one bedroom got the window. Waking up in pitch black definitely took some adjustment; luckily, we have a beautiful mini terrace for all my sunny (and photo-taking) needs.
How do you start your morning?
