[01:00:03:12 - 01:00:19:09] (Water Running) (Dramatic Music) [01:00:17:06 - 01:00:44:15] So the first thing is blueberries. What you see on the screen here is perfectly imperfect blueberries. It's a range of foods that I get in that are available in the freezer section of my local grocery store. These are perfectly imperfect fruits. So when you go into a grocery store and you pick up some [01:00:46:00 - 01:01:20:07] frozen fruits or vegetables, usually they've been pre-sorted to be the best available that there are. So blueberries are nice and round. They are pretty consistent in size. There's no deformities in them. This range of products for different types of fruits is perfectly imperfect. So these are the imperfect ones that have been sorted out of the factory. [01:01:21:13 - 01:02:13:07] What is interesting about these is that first of all they contain the same amount of nutrient value as the perfect versions of the blueberries. But if you look in the bottom left-hand corner, the bottom corner of the package, you see 1.75 kilos. Well this is a 1.75 kilo bag and these are the imperfects. But right next to them in the store are bags of perfect blueberries and they're only 1.5 kilos. And the price of the two bags is exactly the same. So here I'm actually getting 0.25 kilos or about half a pound more imperfect blueberries for the same price as perfect blueberries. [01:02:13:07 - 01:02:22:17] So that is just a little bit of cost saving. [01:02:23:20 - 01:02:44:06] And when we move on to the next slide, we can see the other components for the breakfast. It's a little bit hard to see here, but on the plate at the top 12 o'clock position are walnut crumbs as they're sold in the bulk food store. [01:02:45:13 - 01:03:02:23] They sell whole walnuts, they sell walnut halves, they sell walnut quarters or pieces, and they also sell walnut crumbs. These are very small pieces of walnut that have been broken off during the manufacturing process [01:03:03:23 - 01:03:05:03] or the shelling process. [01:03:06:05 - 01:03:10:04] And they're actually the cheapest of all of the different versions of walnuts. [01:03:11:20 - 01:03:19:02] At the 11 o'clock position, there's a black mass there, that is sunflower seeds. [01:03:20:06 - 01:03:24:13] And then at the one or two o'clock position, you have black chia seeds. [01:03:26:10 - 01:03:32:20] In the packaging, we have ochos or ochos, Greek yogurt, plain Greek yogurt. [01:03:33:20 - 01:04:01:03] On top of that in the red container is 2% cottage cheese. And at the back there, you have hummus. And then you have my alkaline water, my kengan, anagic water machine, which produces the alkaline water that I recommend and consume. [01:04:06:01 - 01:04:23:04] Now just to mention here that in the picture there you see a container of honey. It's dark honey, it's what they call amber honey. It's again bought from a bulk foods store. [01:04:25:04 - 01:04:31:16] It's unpasteurized and as an unpasteurized or raw honey should not be given to children [01:04:33:04 - 01:04:42:01] younger because it may contain bacteria and things which they're not able to digest or deal with. [01:04:43:03 - 01:04:44:13] So that's a warning. [01:04:46:02 - 01:05:42:04] I prefer as an adult, I prefer the unpasteurized honey simply because the more nutrients in it, the process of pasteurization of the honey removes not only the things that are not wanted, but it also removes the things which we do want. There are a lot of macronutrients that are removed in the pasteurization process. So as an adult I can deal with anything in the honey which may not be digestible to a young child. So that is one thing to bear in mind if you're giving honey to a young child. One year or under they should not have unpasteurized honey. [01:05:43:14 - 01:05:46:02] So that's just one thing to look out for. [01:05:50:11 - 01:05:54:22] And now we're starting to assemble the breakfast. [01:05:56:06 - 01:06:08:22] So first of all a portion of blueberries and in the notes I do give the recommended serving size and this is approximately that serving size. [01:06:11:02 - 01:06:35:20] So in this bowl here we're looking at all of the blueberries, the sunflower seeds, the chia seeds, the walnut crumbs, the cottage cheese, the hummus and the Greek yogurt all assembled in the bowl along with honey. [01:06:37:03 - 01:08:54:17] So that's basically it. Now that you see that bowl of assembled breakfast, it's a lot better, much more nutritious. There's absolutely no manufactured products in there, there's no cereals that have been processed in a factory such as Corflakes or artificially created everything. There is a whole food, there's a lot of fiber, a lot of macronutrients and yes there are some carbs but they're beneficial carbs. We do need carbs in our diet, we don't need the highly refined carbohydrates and of course you can vary the proportions of these, you can leave things out, you can add things in here. For example one of the things I periodically add is a serving of crunchy peanut butter. It's whole peanut butter, it's not manufactured, it does not have anything added to it. It is again from the the bulk food store but you can also get products by Kraft which are referred to as only peanuts and that is the only thing that's in there. I mean the obvious thing with some of these nut based whole foods is that the oil that's in the nuts does separate out and you have to stir up the container to remix them but that's a small chore to do for the important nutrients that you get in by only consuming that particular nut. You can use almond butter as well and you can also use whole peanuts as well. Again purchased from the whole food store, there's nothing been added to them, they're just blanched or roasted and served up like that. [01:08:54:17 - 01:09:08:14] So I hope this was an interesting introduction to a whole food unrefined breakfast that is easy to put together. [01:09:09:19 - 01:09:38:17] I often mix all of the seeds and the nuts together in the bowl before, the night before, so that they're already done. I don't have to measure them out and put them in the bowl, so that I only have to add things out of the fridge like the Greek yogurt, the hummus and the collard cheese, and then I just add some honey to the nuts as well. [01:09:39:17 - 01:09:49:05] But you can also leave the honey in with the nuts overnight as well to speed up the breakfast creation process. So enjoy. [01:09:50:11 - 01:10:33:05] On the website there will be an accompanying page for the post and that will have all the nutrients and a much fuller description for you. So take care, have a good day, have a good breakfast, and you don't have to eat this just at breakfast. You can eat this any time during the day that you want to. And if you were going to make a lunch out of it, you might actually use a little bit larger portions as well. Or you could sometimes for lunch I will cut up a cooked chicken breast and add that to this to add more protein to the meal. Take care, bye now.
