So, I think it goes without saying that soup three meals a day can get old really quickly. Now that I am on stage 2, I decided that I should mix breakfast up a bit. I have been gradually increasing the amount of homemade raw yogurt I've been eating, and today is when I started with egg yolks. That gave way to this glorious idea:
Yogurt Nog
1/2 to 3/4 c plain homemade yogurt
2 pastured, organic egg yolks (carefully separated)
honey to taste
Blend on low speed, pour and enjoy!
Now, I actually had adapted that this morning when I had it, I poured it over some butternut squash puree (the puree we have been making for Joshua, butternut squash boiled and mashed in bone broth). The tartness of the yogurt combined with the sweetness of the squash actually made it taste peachy. It was like I was eating some kind of creamy peach porridge.
I know, it is a very simple recipe. But after a week on soups for every meal, glorious is the most appropriate word, because having something not-soup for breakfast made the rest of the day so much better for me. Also it was surprisingly filling, and is really soothing for the stomach. Dr. Campbell-McBride says that raw egg yolks are so readily absorbed that they require almost no digestion. And of course the yogurt is probiotic, so it is good for the stomach as well.
So, there you have it. Healthy, good for the digestion, GAPS legal. My new favorite breakfast (until I get scrambled eggs back in the lineup!)
