My Go-To Ingredients
- I like to buy a large container of plain yogurt. For example, Greek dairy yogurt, or a dairy substitute such as almond or coconut. Don’t buy the single-serve flavored yogurt. It is more expensive and usually loaded with extra sugar!
- Fresh fruit or frozen fruit for sweetness. I like frozen mixed berries.
- My secret sweetening weapon is a couple of spoons of all natural preserves or fruit spread. Extra tip, make sure fruit is the first ingredient listed and not sugar!
- A generous topping of granola. Granola can be purchased or see my homemade recipe Here.
Ready, Set, BREAKFAST!!
The Nourishment!
- Yogurt – High in protein, calcium, and vitamins. Additionally, yogurt contains live cultures loaded with probiotics which improve our gut health. Choose Greek yogurt for an extra punch of protein!
- Fresh or Frozen Fruit – Most fruits such as berries, peaches, and bananas are loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber.
- Granola – High in fiber, vitamins, polyphenols (gut-health). Most granola is also high in zinc, iron, and magnesium due, in part, to multigrain oats. Check out my homemade apple spiced granola recipe Here.
