What Do You Eat for Breakfast?

EL staffers share their typical morning menus.

bowl of yogurt with berries

A cup of green tea and an “everything” smoothie — banana, almond butter, coconut yogurt, chia and flax seeds, greens powder, flax oil, maybe some maca or ashwagandha or another random adaptogen, all slurried together with grapefruit juice.

— Courtney Helgoe,
executive editor

I love a thick, protein-dense smoothie in the morning. My ­ favorite flavor variations are mixed berry, strawberry cheesecake, and spinach with peanut butter.

— Molly King, senior editor/
lead fact checker

Nothing. I practice intermittent fasting, so I don’t eat until about 11 a.m., which has been a total game-changer for my energy.

— Anjula Razdan,
senior director–digital

Some mornings, something extravagant.
Most mornings, something simple.
Every morning, coffee.

— Tatyana McNamara,
senior manager– multimedia

In a calmer environment, I would make myself over-easy eggs, sausage, hash
browns, and buttered multigrain toast with black coffee and orange juice. But
usually, amid the chaos of getting my family ready for the day, I just grab the
two bites of eggs or half a bagel my toddlers don’t finish.

— Cole Luskey, business and circulation specialist

My go-to breakfasts are protein shakes and overnight oats. If I forget to plan ahead, I’ll do Greek yogurt with protein powder and berries — fast, easy, and filling.

— Carrie Stafford,
senior manager–business and circulation
