Cool Summer, Hot Breakfast

Vancouver has experienced quite a weather contrast from last year. Instead of having hot summer weather, we've been experiencing relatively cool, almost Autumn like weather, with heat flashes once in a while.

This week, I decided to enjoy a Hong-Kong inspired breakfast that embraces our variable weather. As a Chinese Canadian, shredded ham and macaroni has been part of my diet at some point or another. This week, I made a very simple macaroni and egg with chicken soup for breakfast, with a simple blueberry shake on the side. This breakfast is a healthy alternative to traditional bacon and eggs, consisting of a balance between grains, fruits, dairy, and protein. This provides athletic students like me enough energy to power me through the day without excess fat. Best part about this breakfast? It can be made in less than 10 minutes with very little prep work needed.

Try it out today!
