Healthy Grits for Breakfast

I grew up eating a traditional Southern breakfast. Most of the time that consists of things like biscuits and gravy, sausage and grits, fried country ham and red eye gravy (IYKYK), and the occasional Krispy Kreme doughnut!

I don't eat quite that way now, but I do occasionally enjoy one of those comfort foods. During cooler weather, a bowl of warm grits for breakfast is so satisfying!

To up the nutrients and keep this meal from being some empty calories, I made some additions!

Grits: cook long and slow, I added a little bone broth for some extra minerals.

Spinach: add at the end of the cooking process for loads of added nutrients, including fiber, calcium, magnesium, and iron, plus loads of vitamin A, C, and K1. (Honestly, I didn't even taste the spinach)

A pat of grass-fed GHEE for a dose of Omega 3.

And this time, I added an egg, which contains Vitamin A along with Vitamins B5, B2, B12, K, D and E plus minerals making it a nutritious powerhouse on its own!

Plus, a couple of slices of avocado.

Eating is all about balance; in this instance, I had delicious grits with some healthy additions.

How do you balance your eating?
