This is a great quick and easy breakfast.
I take some chopped fruit (about a cup) and lightly coat it with some vanilla yogurt and top with some almonds.
I really like to use red delicious apples because I am a total texture person and I love the crunch of the apples and almonds mixed with the smooth yogurt. You can put anything in there that you want - mandarin oranges might be nice. We had some awesome green grapes from Costco the other day that would have also worked nicely. I prefer using vanilla yogurt because I am not too crazy about the fruit flavored ones but feel free to experiment. I always have almonds around so that is also my nut of choice, but by all means try some variations.
For the kids? You can get mini skewers and have them spear the fruit onto the skewer and then drizzle the yogurt on top. Chop up the almonds and have them sprinkle them on top. Obviously you have to take into account your child's ability to "spear", but kids are much more likely to eat foods that they took a part in preparing. What a fun activity!
My goal for breakfast is to have a source of carb, protein and fruit (and veggies if there is a way to get them in there). This easy breakfast (and it makes an awesome snack, as well) has fruit, yogurt for carb and the nuts add a nice protein source.
Enjoy.
In Health,
