We don’t need to tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In this series, we’re asking some of Boston’s top doctors, fitness pros, and dietitians for a sneak peek into their kitchens, so we can see what’s on their breakfast table.

Siga Bielkus
Claim to fame: Bielkus is one of the four sisters who own Beacon Hill’s Health Yoga Life. Siga is chief operating officer.
What she ate: A “super bowl” of quinoa, sprouts, avocado, boiled egg, flax seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and feta cheese. She also drinks a glass of lemon water and coffee with coconut oil and cinnamon.
Why she chose it: “As a small business owner, I’m always on the go, and I don’t always know when I’ll get my next meal,” she says. “This dish is super high in protein, so it makes for perfect, long-lasting fuel. I drink a glass of warm lemon water while I prepare breakfast, which has the added benefit of cleansing the liver. I love my coffee, and by adding a teaspoon of coconut oil mixed with cinnamon, you can supercharge your metabolism to burn fat throughout the morning.”
