Seedy Breakfast Bowl

I love a satisfying breakfast!

When it's delicious and easy, even better! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it tells our metabolism to kick in, wakes us up from the inside out, and fuels us for everything the day holds.

One of my lovely clients shared this recipe with our group and I could not help but try it on my first opportunity. Since you can prepare it ahead of time and it is good in the fridge all week, it's the perfect quick, easy, delicious, filling, and customizable breakfast bowl! It is also gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan for those who need it.

Take 1/2 cup dry mixture and pour 3/4-1 cup near boiling water into bowl. Mix well and let sit for 3-5 minute. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for a creamier texture (non-vegan).

Pelvic Health Series: Our journey to regaining strength, alignment, and function Kellie - part 1

photo by Roughley Originals Every single one of us is different. One of the most amazing aspects of my job is to witness the vast differences between each pregnant body as they exercise and how their body transforms postpartum. Most women will have similarities between their own pregnancies and births. Many women can even find a few similarities with other women as they discuss their stories. I think you would be hard pressed to find two stories more similar than mine and Jamie’s are, which is truly incredible, as we have only known each other for 18 months. That being said, they are not identical stories and for that reason I will also be sharing my story of regaining strength, alignment, and function through the help, expertise, and guidance of a pelvic health physical therapist. photo by Roughley Originals After one miscarriage, my husband and I went on to have two healthy pregnancies.
