Healthy Breakfast

Here is a breakfast we eat almost every day and never tire of. On weekends we do bacon and eggs or waffles, pancakes or French toast. But for the daily grind, here is:

Grapeshot's Way to Start the Day

Pour a generous helping of Shredded Wheat and Bran into a nice bowl. I use an old Burslem soup bowl, the shallow kind, with drawings of Sitka, Alaska on it.
Onto the shredded wheat put some fresh or frozen (defrosted) berries. Add half a banana if you have one (small banana). Put three generous tablespoons of Yoplait berry yogurt (any flavor) over the fruit. Sprinkle a few nuts over all. (Your choice).
Top with whatever kind of milk you drink. We use 2%, a compromise between whole (Significant Other) and 1% (moi). On days when you are feeling unruly and decadent, a tablespoon of heavy cream makes the medicine go down.

The nice thing about this breakfast is that it keeps you full until lunch time, and you get fruit, fiber and calcium, along with some protein. It also tastes good. And because you can vary berries, yogurt, fruit and nuts, it contains enough variety to please over the long haul.

One of these days I will put a photo of the concoction up on my blog. Stay tuned.
