So, what does a vegalien eat for breakfast? Well, that depends. Of course we also have that fraction of healthy vegaliens that eat a very grainy, fruity wholemeal-breakfast, but we also have those among us that even prefer an unhealthy breakfast (Yum!).
Vegalien doesn 't necessarily mean healthy, that's something many people seem to forget when asking, what we (can) eat. Most people seem to think, we eat no fat at all. I've already been to restaurants where they cooked my meal completely without fat, even without vegetable fat. I have never eaten such horrible meals (imagine dried out mushrooms and dry rice without any sauce...ugh). They completely misunderstood the concept of vegalienism. And since those restaurants were really conservative, old-fashioned German restaurants, they probaly have never even heard of other fats than butter. But I digress.
My breakfast routine changes with my mood. It changes with the time of the year. It depends on my timetable, for example whether I have exams (no time for breakfast), or the term has just started (not much to do, so much time for a lengthy, extensive breakfast).
I know people who have a fixed breakfast routine at the weekends. They read the sunday-newspaper, drink an orange juice and a coffee and croissants.
I'd like to have one, too. It's kind of cool to brag with a fixed breakfast routine, I think. It sounds professional and a little bit quirky, like some really distinguished person, who really enjoys a relaxed sunday-morning (because he's been working alle week in some really important position), informs himself about the world politics and knows a lot about good food and a good life. I think a sunday morning breakfast-routine really has style. I'm going to establish one for me, too.
So, what did I have for breakfast today? I had Weetabix (Thanks to lovely Great Britain, the most wonderful country in the world, for this great invention! :-* ) with vanilla -soy milk (Yummy!) and agave syrup (a replacement for honey).
So what do you need to do?
Soak two weetabix(es?) in vanilla-soy milk and pour a little bit agave syrup on top of the two. You can add some fruit, I prefer some frozen berries, because the weetabix-stodge then tastes a bit like icecream. A delicious, slimy, sweet mud. I just love it!
Now you can just spoon it up in about 2 min. Trust me, I've had this breakfast 5 min before a lecture started and practically grabbed my bike while slurping my weetabix up. I recommend some tea or coffee with it, tough.
Now, that's a truly vegalien breakfast, if you ask me.
Yours sincerely,
