- Sage, director, you need to be quiet on set
or you're gonna get kicked off.
This is my audience. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
Hey everyone.
Welcome back to my channel.
I'm Nicole, in case you're new here, hello.
I'm a new mom of a now six month old.
Her name is Sage, and I've been doing a lot of mommy videos,
but today we're doing food.
We're gonna start with breakfast
because even as a new mom working, full-time still,
breakfast is always a priority for me.
I wake up extremely hungry from breastfeeding all the time
and eating a healthy nourishing breakfast is what I need
to start my day with on a good note to feel my best
and just give me a sustained energy
throughout the entire day.
So I'm gonna be talking about four super easy,
like 10 minute breakfast recipes
that I eat every single week.
I alternate between these.
They're delicious and they're really easy to make.

(air whooshing)
First recipe, of course, no surprise, a green smoothie.
It's funny, my sister messaged me the other day
and literally said, "I don't know how
you can drink those every day."
I don't know.
They're just, they, they look the same,
but they taste different.
I always like to switch it up and stuff,
but this one is one of my favorites.
It's actually from my cookbook.
It's the pineapple green dream smoothie.
That's me, all happy making it and it's super simple,
it's nourishing, it's super hydrating
and it has frozen pineapple in it,
which is really delicious.
It kinda tastes like candy.
It's really good.
And there's cucumber greens.
The only change I made is I'm actually
not adding fresh mint.
I read somewhere that you're kind of supposed
to avoid mint when you're breastfeeding.
So just to be safe, I just swapped it with flax seed,
ground flax, which is good for breast milk production
and then I'm gonna add a little bit of ginger
'cause I just liked the flavor so we'll kind of
replace the mint, but it's really yummy
and it takes two seconds to make.
Let's get blending and I'll show you guys how
easy it is to make a green smoothie.
(air whooshing)
(upbeat music)
There you have it.
Breakfast number one is done.
You can make it with one hand,
while you got baby in the other.
Or if you are just trying to multitask, it's really easy.
It's delicious.
You can also add in a scoop of some vanilla protein powder.
I love a plant-based one.
If you wanna do that, I know some people
don't like protein powder, but that's also a great option
just to get in that extra protein.
But veggies and fruit also have protein and the flax seed
also gives it a nice fiber boost as well.
And that's what I love about my cookbook.
There's like different add ins that you can add
into each smoothie.
You don't have to just make it as is
depending on how you wanna boost it up.
So let's make breakfast number two.
Delicious.
Breakfast number two is a yogurt and granola parfait bowl.
I know really easy, but it's all about what you top it with
and the base, which is the granola
and you wanna make it from home.
If you can't find a good quality one at the grocery store,
a lot of them have so much sugar in them.
Like, they just have a list of ingredients.
Basically turns it into like sugary cereal.
So I just make it at home.
It takes two seconds.
I double batched my simple granola recipe from the blog.
It's an oldie, but a goodie.
And I just, I, you could easily swap it up
with whatever you have on hand instead of nut butter,
I used tahini and I didn't have any dried fruit.
So I just took it out and it's delicious.
You can make a big batch.
Like I said, it stores for a long time
and it's a great addition to a yogurt bowl.
So I have some Sheep yogurt here.
I got a mixture of some fruits.
I got Kiwi strawberries and delicious, juicy mango
that I'm gonna cut up and we're just gonna assemble it
and it's gonna be ready in less than 10 minutes.
All you gotta do is premake your granola
on a Sunday afternoon.
I did this the other day when it was raining
and it was the perfect activity
to just like warm up the house.
So highly recommend making some homemade granola.
Mm that, it's really good.
Okay, let's go.
(air whooshing)
(upbeat music)
I love this 'cause you can use any yogurt you want,
you can use any fruit you want.
If I only have banana on here that works.
Sometimes I'll do a little bit of fresh chia seeds
or you can just add dried fruit as well
if you don't have any fresh and for yogurt,
I used Sheep, but you could do a dairy free one.
Sheep is just like an easier to digest one
compared to like regular dairy.
It's delicious, it's easy, it's colorful, it's fun
and it tastes really good so,
another great breakfast option.
Mm mm mm.
It's really good.
This next one is kind of basic, but a little leveled up.
We're doing peanut butter and jelly.
Matt and I have been on a huge jam kick lately.
I'm kind of one of those people when I'm into something,
I eat it nonstop.
And I just have like mega cravings
even before being pregnant.
So I made some delicious homemade strawberry chia jam.
It's so easy.
It takes about 15 minutes in total to make.
You can store it in the fridge
and it's even when you're cooking it, it smells like candy.
So in a pot, I just added some frozen strawberries
with a little bit of water.
I let that boil for a little bit
and then I add in for sweetness, some maple syrup,
vanilla, let that cook for a little bit more, mash it down
really good with the metal whisk
and then you just finish it off with chia seeds
and lemon juice and let it just cool a little bit,
pop it in the fridge.
I'm gonna have a full blog post on how to make it.
Link down below.
Definitely check it out for all the measurements,
but I'm telling you, it smells like candy
when you're making it.
It even before you put any of the sweetener in,
the strawberries, get frozen organic strawberries.
Thank me later.
So I have the homemade chia jam ready to go.
I have some good quality peanut butter.
You can use really any nut butter.
Almond butter works really well.
Sage is talking.
She's trying to go down for a nap, but
It's not, it's not happening.
And then for bread,
I just have some seedy sliced bread here.
A lot of people ask me what kind of bread I like.
Honestly, the seedier, the better.
I switch it up all the time.
I love sourdough as well.
Sometimes we get gluten-free bread.
Cashew is whining cause she smells the peanut butter.
Sometimes we do gluten-free.
I just switch it up.
I usually do like a low gluten diet.
Diet, I hate that word, but you know what I mean?
Yeah so we're gonna toast up the bread,
slather on our toppings and you have breakfast ready to go.
I mean, it's kind of a childhood favorite
leveled-up. (baby screaming)
Oh, she's screaming.
Okay, let's make some toast.
(air whooshing)
(upbeat music)
(air whooshing)
Delicious.
Okay, there you have it.
Adult-style peanut butter and jelly toast.
Mm! Mm!
Whoever thought of that combination, genius.
Now this next one, thanks to my sister, Chloe.
She's got me hooked on hard-boiled eggs.
They're actually perfect for me right now
because I could just quickly boil them up.
I like to cook my hard-boiled eggs in
like starting in boiling water
'cause I feel like you can time it better.
So you don't overcook it.
I actually have a full blog post on,
I think 10 different ways to cook eggs
and there's a little chart, a little guide
for how to do boiled eggs.
I do mine for 10 minutes in boiling water
and it is the perfect amount of time.
They turn out just right every single time I make them.
They don't have that gray ring around the yolk,
which I hate.
It just ruins the taste of your eggs
and they get that really like, sulfur smell
when you crack into them.
So 10 minutes boiling water, in my personal opinion,
it's the perfect amount of time for hard boiled eggs.
So I like to, in addition to hard boiled eggs,
if I'm not just eating it like this,
sometimes, I'm not gonna lie, that's my breakfast.
I'd like sprinkle some salt on it
and I'm just eating it like this.
Matt thinks I'm so weird.
Or I will, if I have extra time, I will smash
an avocado on toast and put the hard boiled egg
sliced on top.
So that's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna do a little fancy for you guys, but I mean,
if you're really in a rush, you just get a spoon,
you spoon out the avocado, you eat the egg
and that is, Oh look, it fits.
There you go.
You don't even need it the toast.
But honestly like that could work.
All right, let's assemble.
(air whooshing)
(upbeat music)
(air whooshing)
And there you have it,
a hard-boiled egg style avocado toast.
Honestly, this is as fancy as my breakfast get these days.
This is also a great lunch.
You got your protein, your healthy fats, your carbs.
It's even nice if you drizzle some olive oil on top,
if you wanna get fancy and yeah, it's delicious.
And like I said, a lot of times
I just eat the hard boiled eggs as is
with a side of avocado toast if you have to.
There you have it.
