A morning routine is a great way to kick-start an awesome day!
Some people prefer to jump out of bed and hit the gym or go for a run first thing. I am NOT one of those people ๐ lol. But I admire those who do!
My morning routine has been the same for years, which is one of the great things about routines โ they tend to stick! That can be GREAT if itโs a good routine, but not so great if itโs NOT starting your day off on the right foot. ๐ง
I prefer an hour to myself in the mornings, usually on the back deck, and always with a collagen coffee. Thatโs when I plan out my day and get my head on straight โ before I greet the rest of the world. โ๏ธ (this โme timeโ is definitely necessary !!)

Guess which one is my favorite!
answer: it depends on the dayโฆ ๐

My daughter starts her day with a collagen coffee as well. Sheโs turning 26 next week, and in that hard-working phase of her 20โs where sheโs working double shifts at two jobs โ and somehow finding time to hit the gym in between. ๐ respect! ๐
Thatโs her coffee above. She likes the Cinnamon Toast collagen from Perfect Keto with whipped cream. Iโm a little more โvanillaโ โ except not. I like the Perfect Keto unflavored collagen powder in my coffee. ๐ This is mine, on the deck of course:
It actually IS unflavored, not salty of funky like some other brands โ plus adds a nice creamy texture to my coffee. Then I can add in sugar free syrups for flavor, heavy cream โ or you can fix your coffee however you prefer without the collagen messing up the taste.
I also use their Almond Butter Brownie protein bars, but those are out of stock right now. (boo!) ๐ Iโm down to my last one too! I love those for a quick meal replacement at my desk or on the goโฆ
I havenโt tried their brownie & pancake mixes yet. Have you?
I got some to try. ๐ฅ ๐
Iโve been using their collagen & bars for years now though, and those are my two main staples from Perfect Keto โ and thatโs pretty much been my morning routine for awhile now.
Iโll have my collagen coffee when I get up, then a bar closer to lunch โ and that holds me over until a simple dinner of meat & greens. That makes the day easy! โ
My daughter is staying with me still, until early next year, so on days sheโs home sheโll usually make โbreakfastโ for lunch or dinner.
She isnโt a morning eater either, but we both LOVE breakfast foods. ๐ฅฐ
Some people like to start their day with a solid meal, some like to have their bigger meal at dinner. I used to like a big breakfast, and honestly canโt remember when I switched, but either is okay in my book.
I always say: โEat when youโre hungry, donโt when youโre notโ (ie listen to your body!). I donโt personally thing thereโs a right or wrong way to eat outside of that โ basically: mindful eating.
But I do think a morning routine can make a big difference to your day, every day, and ultimately your lifestyle and your goals! ๐ฏโฃ๏ธ
Speaking of โbreakfast for dinnerโ โ I love that Perfect Keto came out with a GOOD low carb breakfast cereal earlier this year. Sometimes thatโs just the perfect thing at the end of a long day when you donโt want to cook. ๐ Donโt you agree??
I love the Honey Nut and the Cinnamon cereal mixed together, with unsweetened almond milk or milkadamia โ plus raspberries & blueberries. ๐ซ๐ฅฃ
If youโve been around awhile you already know I am NOT one to meal prep.
My daughter is the exact opposite. She prefers to have her week laid out, and prepare plenty of things to grab & go โ or to heat up quick meals.
Sheโll make up things like boiled eggs, sausage balls (just sausage + cheese mixed up & rolled into balls & baked crisp!), or cook up a big batch of โchicken fried riceโ (with cauliflower rice), etc.
As we prepare to kick off the Fall Challenge, I would love to hear about YOUR morning routine, what works best for you โ and/or what youโd most like to change. Leave a comment and letโs discuss ideas & options, and get some inspiration from each other. ๐
Best,
