One of My Favorite Breakfasts

5/22/2013

I've been on a huge oatmeal kick lately, but one of my favorite breakfasts during the school year was what I called a "bowl of mush". It hardly takes any time at all to prepare or clean up. Despite the name, it's very yummy.

All you need is:
  • a banana (any size will do)
  • 1 serving of yogurt (6-8 oz or 1 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter
  • cinnamon and/or pumpkin pie spice to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Peel the banana, put it in bowl, mash it well with a fork, spoon in the yogurt, stir in your nut butter, sprinkle on your cinnamon/pumpkin pie spice/chia seeds, and mix well. That's all you need to do! 

I rarely like yogurt by itself, which is why I love mixing in a mashed banana with it. I like to use plain Greek yogurt or strawberry. 

Lately, I enjoy Wild Squirrel Nut Butter (now called Wild Friends). They make some fun flavors such as Curious Cocoa-Nut, Honey Pretzel, and Chocolate Sunflower Seed. I like the single-serve packets.

If you want to give some of these flavors a try, I recommend buying the Variety Single Serve 10-Pack It's fun to sample all of these different kinds of nut butter. Just make sure that you knead the packet well before you open it so that it has that soft peanut butter consistency. 

So, if you don't like yogurt but need new sweet breakfast ideas, try it my way! I'm sure that you will like it.
