![]() Breakfast. A lot of people say they hate it. I'm not sure why, I get up in the morning, having not had anything to eat for 12+ hours and of course I feel not quite right with low blood sugar, grumbling tummy and all. I am lucky that I have always loved breakfast. So why don't you take the time for breakfast? Too busy in the morning with kids, getting ready for work? Why not start eating breakfast, I bet it makes a world of difference in the long run. If your excuse is that you don't have any time, well I have a nutritious solution for you that takes 5 minutes the night before and a 2nd option that takes 5 minutes in the morning and doesn't include buying expensive, processed sugar laden commercial cereal. I sometimes eat these for lunch or dinner when I'm feeling lazy. Since being in Mexico I have been unable to buy low fat dairy of any kind or any frozen berries, so I had to adapt to what was at hand. Here are my two favourite breakfast options, one I eat in Canada with low fat Greek yogurt and one tasty option for when I'm in Mexico! Try them both and see which one you like best! Gringo Breakfast 1/2 cup low fat, plain Greek yogurt 1 tsp. Splenda or other sweetener 1/2 cup frozen raspberries, black berries, sour cherries or strawberries - whatever berry you love 1 tsp. hemp seeds Optional 1/4 cup quick oats Mix it all together - enjoy! *********************************** Mexican Breakfast 1 cup dry oats (whole) 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder 1 tsp Splenda or other sweetener 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup milk (preferably low fat) or almond, soy milk etc. 1/2 cup water 1/2 tbsp. cocoa nibs Mix all dry ingredients in a jar or other container with a lid. Add water and milk, shake and put in the fridge over night. In the morning, give it a stir with the cocoa nibs - voila!!! My new fav. Happy breakfast! Jen Instagram: @lazycatzimmerman
