Yogurt And Granola: An Achievable Breakfast When You’re Not Ready.
I’m rarely hungry in the morning, but know I “should eat breakfast” — If and when I do, it’s usually a V8, Jamba Juice, KIND Bar, Clif Bar, or some sort of bottled Green Juice. It’s seldom a full breakfast, unless enjoying a special, leisurely weekend. In that case it might be Huevos Rancheros or Eggs Florentine, but lately it’s been Plain Yogurt and Granola (with sometimes Berries). How can it taste so crazy good? It just does. The tartness of the Plain Yogurt goes well with Granola and I’m really liking the Maple Pecan Granola Clusters from Fresh & Easy.
It’s also pretty easy to make your own granola, and it generally fits into the budget better. My recent kick had been “chocolate granola bar bites,” which are a little more decadent but delicious.
I grew up on granola in the morning– it’s a seriously sustaining food with lots of fiber and good fats from the nuts, but watch the sugar/fat if you’re watching your diet. Muesli’s a nice variation, and great with lots of fruit.
