peaches & chia seeds for breakfast.

 

some say when posting a recipe, it should be just that: the recipe. no story line with it, just ingredients, steps, boom.

 

i, however, do not fancy that method.

so i'll grace you with my story for the dish pictured above.

 

it starts with a pesky wisdom tooth that began making its stand sometime last week.

just started as a tiny voice going hey, hey, hey!

 

by the end of last week it made it pretty clear, being ignored was not up its alley.

having half of your mouth swollen is no picnic, since you really can't eat a whole lot without screaming outloud every time you chew, making your co workers wonder if you've developed turrets overnight.

because i couldn't go without eating, i had to find the softest thing to scarf down and appease my hungry tummy.

enter peaches and chia seeds with yogurt.

not only soft, easy to chew but super healthy, delicious and easy to make.

 

if you haven't heard of chia seeds, you need to.

they are packed with protein, fiber and so many vitamins.

the little black seeds turn into this gel like substance and are so filling.

i usually mix them into my yogurt. so, so good.

 

anyway, back to my story. this breakfast kept me sane and full. and honestly i ate it sometimes for lunch when i wasn't feeling like having soup.

i haven't yet made an appointment for the dentist. i'm a scardy cat.

thankfully, the swelling has subsided dramatically and the pain is slowly going away.

 until the next time it decides to be a diva.

 

what are some of your healthy breakfast/snack options?
