Community Spotlight: Morning Food Rituals
By: Marissa Brassfield
Published: February 24, 2012

For many of us, our morning ritual is sacred; accordingly, this week's community spotlight features readers' responses to the following Twitter question: What are the first three things you drank or ate today?
Unsurprisingly, coffee figures into many readers' morning routine (including that of yours truly):
@foodistaCoffee, coffee and coffee. :) Happy Friday @foodista !

@foodista First thing I drank this morning: Mayan Spiced Mocha from @KeanCoffee. It may literally be the nectar of the mocha gods.

Still others prefer relatively light fare to start the day:
@foodista granny smith apple with chunky cashew butter, water and decaf coffee.
