I Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast

By Hannah Manley

I eat ice cream for breakfast

I’m a healthy strong boy

I eat ice cream for breakfast

And help dad at McCoy’s

I eat ice cream for breakfast

Surely, not the kind you would think

I eat ice cream for breakfast

My plate licked clean then tossed in the sink

My cone was a wedged wheat waffle

With a scrumptious scoopful of K

I say, this is starting to sound delightful

Then garnished with a brussel sprout

Definitely no way!

Instead I topped it with a berry

Next time I think I’ll try a cherry

The poem above is dedicated to some of my best friends in the world, Betsy and Philip Espinal.

We had a farm fresh egg, raw milk, and fresh ground wheat for our whole wheat waffles.

Our waffle recipe:
3 cups whole wheat
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp Real Salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 farm fresh eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup butter

Nutrients in Bananas and the Health Benefits

The main role of Vitamin B6 in our bodies has to do with effectively regulating our metabolism. That is very important if we want to maintain a healthy weight and if we want to have enough energy to get through our day.  When we don’t have enough Vitamin B6 our mood can be very irritable. This is due to the fact that the vitamin is responsible for helping to create serotonin in the brain. This is a type of chemical that helps us to feel good. – Vitaminb6.org

Vitamin C boosts your immune system and cell health and improves the absorption of other nutrients such as iron. – Livestrong.com

Manganese is necessary for bone health and metabolism. –Livestrong.com

Dietary fiber can help you feel fuller longer and also keep your digestive processes running smoothly. –Livestrong.com

Bananas are one of our best sources of potassium, an essential mineral for maintaining normal blood pressure, heart function, and good nerve and muscle function. A banana a day may help to prevent high blood pressure.

Quiz: What is the scoopful of K?

K is the symbol for Potassium and bananas contain this mineral.
