Monday Blues

This was my breakfast this morning. A nice bluesy start to the day, and week. Bluesy not in the sense of feeling low and blue, but more as in swingin’ and dancin' to the Blues. What a nice happy feelin’!

It’s organic blue cornflakes by Health Valley. I love the color of blue corn. I also like its sultry nutty taste. While blue cornflakes may not be as crunchy as regular cornflakes, its complex flavors and textures stand head and shoulders over the usually very bland (and nutritionally questionable) regular cornflakes. The cereal is only lightly sweetened by organic cane juice, and the natural lightly savory overtones of the blue corn make for a nice change from the usual sweet breakfast cereals.

This morning I had the cereal with organic hazelnut “milk”, topped with my usual sprinkling of lecithin granules. Ah! Purple and yellow. Rather pretty me thinks. A nice cheerful start to the week.

Happy Monday, everyone!
