WEEK 5 NUTRITION: Healthy Breakfast Inspiration from member Cass Warner

We asked Working-IN member Cass Warner for some insight into how she ensures a healthy start to each morning for her young family…

As a mum of 3, working between mothering gigs, and training, the weekday mornings in our house are typically rushed and chaotic! Though, I always try to make time for a yummy nourishing breakky that will sustain the boys (ages 3, 5 and 6) and myself for the day ahead.

We have moved our eating away from processed foods, wheat, dairy and limit sugar (due to intolerances and health reasons) so breakfast is usually a cook up of some sort. However, the boys still love the “crunch” from cereal and if we are limited on time we make “mummy’s yummy nut cereal” Which is based on a fabulous, very easy recipe from https://wholefoodsimply.com and all the ingredients excluding the apple can be bought from Scoop

I am actually a bit of a Scoop fanatic, we take a trip there at least once a week and our cupboards now look like a Scoop advertisement. I always make sure I have the ingredients for the muesli on hand as it’s our “go to” breakfast.

Fruit and Veg we are now trying to buy organic so you’ll usually find us at the Warriewood Markets on Friday. We love the markets, it’s such a great way to shop! Otherwise we’ve started using Group Organics in Brookvale (www.grouporganics.com.au). They are a great delivery or pick up service and the produce so far has been excellent. Our meat we are mostly getting at Shiralee Meats, in Brookvale. Also organic, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

It does help the mornings if I’ve planned ahead or even made breakfast the night before, sometimes breakfast muffins or a chia pudding. However as I mentioned we normally have a cook up which may be scrambled eggs with avocado, cherry tomatoes and spinach or kale. Or even something we are loving at the moment is poached eggs in bone broth with lemon and tumeric with a bit of leafy greens. It’s really warm and nourishing as we head into winter, it’s great for the immune system and the boys love it!?!

Geeze, I could rattle on about food forever, I’ve become hungry writing this! Can’t wait till breakky now
