Breakfast of Champions

This simple breakfast is light, refreshing, and easy to make. It packs a nutritious punch full of superfoods, probiotics and protein. 

 

My morning meal full of probiotics and super nutrient foods! 

Two strains of probiotics from the kefir and yogurt support proper gut flora while the antioxidant power of blueberries fights off free radical damage and aging. Add a slice of whole wheat sourdough toast with grass-fed butter, and you will pump up your protein and vitamin K intake as well. Whoever said healthy had to be boring? Win the morning and win the day with this breakfast of champions!!

Here are the recipes for my breakfast of champions-- Kefir Fruit Smoothie and Berry Yogurt Bowl!

Kefir Fruit Smoothie

1 qt milk kefir (I make my own)

1 frozen banana (peeled)

1 apple (cored, quartered)

1 orange (peeled, quartered)

1 cup frozen mango chunks

1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

1 cup frozen apricot halves

2 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp organic chia seeds

5 drops lemon essential oil (eo--I use DoTERRA oils)

4 drops wild orange eo

2 drops lime eo

2 drops grapefruit eo

Put ingredients in a high powered blender in the order listed above. Blend on low speed for about 30 seconds, then switch to a higher speed for 20 seconds, until all ingredients have been thoroughly blended with no chunks remaining. If the smoothie seems too thick or is not blending easily, add 1/2 to 1 cup water until the desired consistency is reached. 

I have a Blendtec blender with the Wild Side jar and this recipe makes enough smoothie for my family of eight.

1-2-3 Berry Yogurt Bowl

1 cup organic plain whole milk yogurt (or make your own)

1/2 cup organic blueberries 

1-2 large organic strawberries (diced)

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp hemp seeds

1 tbsp sliced almonds

Mint leaves for garnish (and surprisingly pleasant flavor!)

Honey (optional to drizzle on top for added sweetness)

Put the ingredients into your bowl in the order listed, add a spoon, and enjoy!! This yogurt bowl is easy to modify according to your own tastes. Just remember the 1-2-3 formula: 1 cup yogurt (coconut yogurt is great as well), 2 kinds of berries (my husband's favorite is raspberries), and 3 tbsp of nuts or seeds. Mix it up any way you like!!
