Bright Starts: Breakfast at Green Pastures

Green Pastures now serves breakfast to help you start the day right. Fresh, organic ingredients and powerbowls, homemade jams, marmalade, and even peanut butter, it's all about doing it right, and starting right. At Green Pastures...

Chef Robby Goco (L) continues his advocacy for organic, all-natural cuisine with his successful Green Pastures (more on Green Pastures on my previous post, Going Green at The Fort), extending the concept even further with his daily breakfast. That day, Adolf Aran (R) of Courage Asia and Chef Robby Goco hosted our breakfast...

Courage Asia shares revealing insights on the rapidly growing and evolving state of the restaurant industry with its upcoming Philippine Restaurant Investment Conference on June 29, 2016, at Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, featuring key speakers from the movers and shakers of the restaurant industry (for more on Courage Asia's Philippine Restaurant Investment Conference, you can contact Ms. Camille Pabilic at 437-2639, 0935-311-2668, and 0917-639-8089). And there's just no better way to start a discussion on the current state and potential of the restaurant industry than with breakfast at Green Pastures. Blueberry Pancake, served with whipped butter and honey butterscotch, made from real buttermilk, gets your day on the right track. Soft, fluffy yet firm and chewy, the Blueberry Pancake with its buttermilk base gives it a distinct fresh flavor you can't find in the usual pancake made from commercial mixes. Ditch the maple syrup, and go for the homemade butterscotch made from local organic honey.  

And Chef Robby Goco has more surprises up his sleeves. The healthy and flavorful Avocado Farmhouse Power Grain Bowl has everything you need to start the day right with a single bowl, with shredded kale, quinoa, konbu-roasted chicken, Mambo goat cheese, 5-minute duck egg, bacon, corn, avocado, and grape tomatoes drizzled with honey mustard dill vinaigrette. The rich blend of flavors packs all the energy you need without that heavy feeling after, just what you need to start the day right. And it's the perfect pre-workout meal for that much needed energy boost.

You can also go green with Chef Robby Goco's Green Shakshuka, with fresh salsa verde and 142 degree egg served with homemade and freshly baked sourdough toast.  Fermented for five days, the sourdough bread's firm and chewy texture releases a burst of mildly sour and sweet notes, pairing well the salsa verde. Gently break the yolk, mix it all up and scoop it with the sourdough...

A simple Toast topped with marmalade and served with grape tomatoes and duck hash...

...or blueberry with a side of eggs and grape tomatoes, you'll never run out fresh and tasty breakfast options at Green Pastures. It may look deceptively light, but that piece of toast is something else. Thick, dense and chewy with a lightly crisp outer layer, the whole wheat toast is another must-try breakfast dish at Green Pastures.

Pair your breakfast with one of many Cold-Pressed Elixirs to complete your breakfast. Hydraulically cold-pressed using the freshest and highest quality ingredients to preserve all the essential nutrients, choose from seven blends each designed to purify, energize, satisfy, detoxify, hydrate, and brighten your day. Green Pastures also serves VGO local single-origin coffee and Vittoria organic coffee. 

Sausage, Egg, Ham and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich, with farmer's ham topped with cheddar cheese, onion jam, Sriracha mayo and custard egg on a soft brioche bun. Delicately cooked for thirty minutes, the custard eggs are soft and fluffy, pairing well with the ham and cheese. It's definitely much, much better than the usual breakfast sandwich from the popular fast-food chain.

The signature Pandesal, 100% whole wheat heirloom recipe with kesong puti and bangus belly drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, infuses local flavors in another hearty sandwich. The richness of the bangus belly is perfectly tempered by the sharp notes of the kesong puti for balanced flavors. 

But if you want a hefty start for breakfast, you can go all-out without worrying about the carbs...

...with the Longganisa Cauli-Bowl, loaded with Cagayan Valley organic longganisa, roasted cherry tomatoes, custard eggs, and homemade atchara on shredded cauliflower. The shredded cauliflower replaces the usual rice, leaving you satisfied and feeling so much better without the carbs.

Craving for a high-fiber breakfast? The Cantaloupe Overnight Oats, topped with fresh strawberries and organic honey, should do the trick. Sweetened with all-natural and organic honey, the creamy oats are comforting yet light. The wide range of breakfast options leave you feeling good after a meal, and Green Pastures is once again on the right track...
