You Are Cereal


Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day.
(In fact, you’re probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.)
Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking… and you are a sucker for junk food.
Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance.

You Are a Scrambled Egg


You are spontaneous and fun. You like to mix it up in life, and you are very flexible.

You consider any day that surprises you to be a good day. You aren’t big on planning and structure.

You are an agreeable, happy person. You can get along with almost anyone, and you’re pretty easy to please.

You live a somewhat chaotic life, but things seem to work out for you in the end. Even when things are a mess, you come out fine at the other end.

These abound at their home in the province and she would always make us whenever we spend our summer vacation there.

Ingredients:
1 pc buko, meat shredded, (reserve water)
18-20 pcs of pandan leaves
1 can (240 ml) Pineapple Juice

And the best way to serve it is through smoothies. Smoothies are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Not only are they great tasting, they’re healthy drinks, too! They are great for breakfast or any time of the day.

Sharing a recipe which my grandmom taught me.

Ingredients:
1 pc small carrot
4 to 5 tbsp sugar or 1 tsp honey
1 tbsp raisin
1 can (240 m) Pure Pineapple Juice
12 pcs ice cubes

In a blender, blend carrot and raisins with the Pineappe Juice until crushed. If your blender doesn’t like carrots try chopping it up and adding it one piece at a time during the blending. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.

Makes 4 servings
Excellent source of Vitamin A for good eyesight.
