Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and while something is better than nothing, why not make that something really count??
As a single mom, I know that mornings can be hectic. That's why I'm always thinking up ways to keep breakfast QUICK and EASY, but also creative and healthy.
Fancy Yogurt Parfait
Forget those sugary yogurts that have little benefit. Use plain yogurt and jazz it up on your own. We use Organic full-fat plain Greek yogurt, but I've also used organic regular plain yogurt that can be bought in large tubs and is cheaper per unit. Dish it up into a pretty champagne flute or just a regular bowl and add a dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract and 1 tsp local organic, preferably raw (for the most benefits) honey. For added color and nutrients, top with diced kiwi and pomegranate seeds. Serve it up with a whole grain English muffin such as Ezekiel brand Cinnamon Raisin or Regular (shown). Toast and spread on 1/2 tsp of ghee, such as from Pure Indian Foods and 1/2 tsp Virgin Unrefined Coconut Oil from Spectrum.
Breakfast in a Crunch
Don't have time to do any mixing? Grab some banana chips, washed blueberries already waiting in the fridge and your favorite unsalted, unroasted nut from the freezer and throw 'em on the plate! Pair it with an English muffin from above. This one can even be bagged up and taken onto the bus! This is a complete breakfast--whole grains, healthy fats from the nuts, ghee and coconut oil, and fruit that's loaded with antioxidants! Enjoy!
