My Favorite Breakfast



Fresh fruit is not only a good source of natural energy but also provides vitamin C, fiber, potassium, folate, and helps stimulate your memory. It has been proven that a diet high in fruits and vegetables greatly reduces your risk of disease.

I did a little experimenting and found a delicious way to eat fruit for breakfast. I like it so much, I eat "Fruit Cereal" every morning... and I'm not sick of it yet!

"Fruit Cereal"

The base of the cereal is always the same, but I change up the protein depending on what I feel like that day or what's in the fridge.

Base: 1/2 - 1 chopped apple (I like pink lady), 1 chopped banana, and 1 chopped date.

Protein: either peanut butter, combination of seeds (hemp, chia, and flax. I use 1 Tbsp of each), or soaked oats.

Milk: either soy or almond.

Place fruit, protein, and milk in a bowl, stir, and top with cinnamon. Sometimes I sprinkle raw organic coconut flakes on the top. Don't be afraid to use a large bowl... fruit is fat free and doesn't have many calories!

*The cereal in the photo contains pomegranate seeds and cottage cheese.
