Running on Brazilian time? Here’s a nutritious and tasty way to start your day.
Brazilian Coconut Mango Bowl: Five minutes is all it takes.
Breakfast the Brazilian way?
Maybe it’s the whole thing about running on Brazilian time, or maybe it’s that Brazilian lunch choices are bountiful. Whatever the reason, Brazil’s morning nosh is usually the least formal and most rushed meal of the day.
This is especially true in cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, where school, professional and social activities start early and go late.
The whole approach is different.
Forget about the Kellogg’s Chocolate Frosted Flakes or Lucky Charms. Ditto for waffles, egg scrambles, or your favorite breakfast sandwich (but McDonald’s can set you up with a Brazilian ham and cheese croissant with OJ).
Instead, Café de Manha can as quick and simple as sweetened coffee with milk and maybe a slice of Brazilian coffee cake.
Better yet, think Bakery-fresh Brazilian rolls with prosciutto and cheeses, tropical fruits with honeyed açai, an aromatic cafe preto, plus your favorite Brazilian tunes.
Or you can go tasty and nutritious with this easy recipe for our Brazilian Coconut Mango Bowl. All it takes is five minutes to give yourself a delicious and healthy start to the day.
