How To Prepare:

I am not going to do the math, but just trust me when I say using the options above and varying them with different grains and yogurt will give you endless possibilities for breakfast!

Start by choosing a whole grain (buckwheat, quinoa, oatmeal... Even brown rice) or organic yogurt. Next, chose from the options above and wa-la, breakfast made!

Clean it:

When preparing fresh fruit or veggies, it is a great opportunity to lead by example for your kids. Teach them about composting and do an experiment to track the amount of garbage bags you save at the end of the week by recycling and composting!

Green it:

Breakfast is a great opportunity to buy in bulk. This significantly reduces the cost of whole grains and raw nuts as well as eliminates a great deal of unnecessary packaging.

Make it Fun!

Take the fruit, dried fruit, even honey and molasses and make smiley faces on top of the whole grain (especially if you have a finicky child!). It makes it more inviting... I know I can’t help but feel positive about breakfast if I see pineapple eyes and walnut lips smiling back at me! ;)
