Making the Most of Breakfast

Breakfast is by far my favourite meal of the day - I don't think I've ever skipped breakfast in my life and I like to leave a good half hour in the morning for a leisurely breakfast, regardless of what time I need to be out of the house. For me, breakfast sets me up for what sort of day I'm going to have - I know if I don't put much effort into my breakfast then I'm probably not going to have a very productive day. I like to try and make it tasty, but healthy, as eating a healthy breakfast means I'm more likely to keep up good eating habits throughout the day.


I realise that we don't always have time to make a big deal out of breakfast (unless like me you get up early especially for it which I imagine isn't all that common!), but I do think it's nice to make a bit of a thing of it when you can so that you feel healthy, positive and motivated for the day ahead. So when the lovely people at Amara kindly offered to send me some home bits I knew it was breakfast I wanted to focus on to make it as visually pleasing (surprisingly not just for Instagram, but for myself) and enjoyable as possible.


Being currently without a kitchen (although not for much longer hopefully - watch this space) breakfast options are limited, but luckily one of my favourite breakfasts is granola. I usually make my own, but being without an oven means I've had to shell out and buy a few packets. As I mentioned, I like my breakfasts to be as healthy as possible so fruit is a must. My go to breakfast at the moment is greek yogurt with granola, fruit and either nut butter or honey (or yanno, both cause a girl's gotta treat herself every now and then). All topped off with a coffee of course (or, ahem, two).

You may be able to tell from this breakfast set up that I am possibly the most cliché marble loving blogger that ever existed. Soz about that. Not soz though because it makes me pretty darn happy to have my very own marble patterned cereal bowls* to eat out of and mugs* to drink from. In a breakfast for two set up my new marble platter* is perfect for condiments like honey and nut butter so we can help ourselves from the middle as well as being the perfect platform for some gorgeous flowers* (fake so they last forever obvs) because call me shallow but I really do love a good looking breakfast set up. It's the simple things isn't it? And now I have the most perfect breakfast set up ready to go for my new kitchen and I can't wait!


Are you a fan of breakfast?
