Breakfast
Lemon Water first thing in the morning is a great way to help your digestion and elimination. It helps to cleanse toxins out of the liver. Squeeze 1/4 or more fresh lemon into a glass of room temperature water or a mug of hot water. Option - add honey to taste.
Wait 15 minutes before eating or drinking anything else.
Instead of, or 15 minutes after lemon water, drink 6 - 12 ounces of freshly juiced Celery Juice. Watch video of how to prepare and read about the health benefits here
Refraining from protein/fats for breakfast turns out to be the best way to assist your liver to continue cleansing for a few hours after you arise from sleep. Fruits are the best breakfast food. Save your proteins/fats for lunch and/or dinner for ideal health.

Avoid any kind of processed food (boxed food) - especially if sweetened. If you want a quick cereal breakfast, I recommend "Barbara's organic Brown Rice Crisps". Use as base then add fruit (banana slices, berries,etc.), slivered almonds, raisins, coconut shreds, a dab of maple syrup/honey if desire a bit more sweetness.
Other Breakfast Ideas:
Sautéed Potatoes (regular, sweet or yams) with Veggies, Squash, etc. (leftovers/already cooked easiest for working mornings!)
Heat in skillet or in toaster/regular oven (avoid microwave whenever possible).
Good quality GF bread toasted with honey, all fruit jam, and/or mashed banana.
Optional - unsweetened, no added oil nut/seed butter.
Or Toasted with Avocado or Vegan Cream Cheese with Tomato
Recommended brands of GF (gluten free) breads - Happy Camper, New Cascadia, SRSLY Sourdough, Food For Life English Muffins.
Unsweetened Cashew Yogurt (Forager brand) with added fruit, nuts, seeds, drizzled of honey or maple syrup.
NOTE: Don't need to limit breakfast to traditional American breakfast food - eat anything for breakfast - soups, left overs, etc.
*Avoid the nut/seed butter, cashew yogurt, & avocado if want to adhere to "no protein/fat" first few hours of day (see above discussion on liver health)
