Breakfast at ScraB&Bleis healthy, ecological and fair food.
Please note that we do not always serve the same breakfast, so the ingredients may vary from day to day.
Food is an important part of our overall carbon footprint. So it is an esential component in our sustainability strategy.
But what do we mean by healthy, ecological and fair food?
Healthy
Breakfast consists of a healthy mix of fruits, cereals, yogurt, bread and various toppings.
We choose organic products whenever possible. Of these we know with certainty that they have been grown without pesticides, which of course is healthier. It is also said that they are healthier because they are said to contain more vitamins, but that is not entirely proven anyway.
We also serve as many plant-based products as possible. While a fierce debate rages about whether or not BIO is healthier, there is no question that animal products are worse for your health than vegetable ones. Therefore, you will not find meat on our breakfast table. As animal products we serve only: some cheeses, BIO yogurt, BIO milk and sometimes BIO eggs. For the cheese and yogurt there is always a vegetable alternative.
So what is all BIO in our breakfast ?
- orange juice
- choco
- jam
- sandwiches
- yogurt
- meusli
- cheese
- seaweed salad
- bananas
- coffee
- milk
- eggs

Ecological
The above paragraph gives it away a little bit: we commit to both organic and plant-based foods. We also always look at the transportation footprint: for example, we avoid fruit that comes from the other side of the world.
Using the“green house food calculator,” we calculated the CO2e emissions of different types of breakfasts. The following illustrates the impact of a fully plant-based breakfast and compares it with other types of breakfast.
We have already made an ecological selection, now it’s up to you to choose what you consume at breakfast.
Fair
(H)Fair ! Of course we want to serve you a delicious breakfast, but we also try to do so with ingredients that are as fair as possible.
We therefore choose the following Fairtrade products:
- Cocoa paste
- Bananas
- Tea
- Coffee (if pads are in stock)
- Sugar
