Breakfast Beverages
When I was pulling into the parking lot at work today I watched a woman go to the vending machines behind the building and buy a breakfast Pepsi. Just the idea of drinking 20oz of liquid sugar for breakfast made my stomach hurt. Then I remembered my old neighbor down here used to drink a can of Mountain Dew every morning; I guess he didn’t like coffee but still wanted that jolt of caffeine. Maybe it’s because when I was growing up pop was a Friday night treat, but I just can’t grasp the concept of Coca Cola as a breakfast beverage. It makes my teeth ache just thinking about it.
Though I must admit, on the extremely rare occasion I have both things available, my all time favorite breakfast consists of leftover wedding cake and a glass of Pepsi. It’s been so long since I’ve experienced that particular joy, it might turn my stomach into knots if I tried it today. These days, every morning my breakfast consists of a Kellogg’s blueberry breakfast bar and a cup of plain ol’ black coffee. I’ve experimented with the mixed berry flavor, but it just isn’t the same.
Comments
I like a breakfast shake:
1/2 banana
1 cup frozen berries
1/3 c. protein powder
1/2 T. flaxseed oil
1 t. psyllium
1 c. soy milk (I like chocolate)
Blend it up.

I like two pieces of wheat toast, both with peanutbutter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and a tall glass of 1/2% milk. Also if available, sliced banana ontop of the peanutbutter-cinnimon delight. Come to think of it, I eat this pretty much every day.

Diet Coke has a new ad campaign that is promoting it as a breakfast drink. One ad shows a can of diet coke with a coffee sleeve around it and it says "Good Morning"
