Breakfast... power up your day - Fresh starts

When I was growing up everyone seemed to be eating cereal or toast for breakfast, or maybe for special occasions there was brunch or Eggs 'n something. Then I went to Greece and discovered that there are other foods to eat for breakfast and have not looked back since.

These days my favorite breakfast is to get a large ceramic bowl and fill it up with sliced fresh fruit, trail mix and low fat yogurt - Yum! For those who need a little extra sweetness to their day - some honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon can really set this dish up.

Ready for the recipe? Keep in mind you can mix n add your favorite fruits, from Mangoes to blueberries.

3/4 cup of trailmix (nuts and dried fruit)

3/4 cup of low fat yogurt

2 cups of sliced fresh fruit - suggestions: apples, banana, strawberries, blue berries

1/2 tablespoon of honey - organic is best

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

stir and enjoy!

Want to make your own trail mix? I like a combination with roasted peanuts, almonds, sunflower, pepitos, raisins (blond & red) and currents.

I cannot tell you how good this is for you…the combination of nuts for protein and oils, the calcium and healthy benefits of yogurt and the vitamins and zesty eclat of fresh fruit!

MMMMMmmmmm! What a great way to start yor day!
