    It's that simple! Dan and I ate this for breakfast for several mornings. We also really enjoyed it as a grab and go snack. I had hoped to make this for Christmas gifts for family but my oven died (shortly before Christmas) ahh! That put a squelch on that great holiday gift idea.... and is obviously a story for another day....

    So after that happened, I decided to save this recipe until after Christmas and share this and another healthy idea with you (next week) to keep you moving towards your resolutions and holiday goals. I know you're going to love this!

    Looking for more delicious breakfast ideas? I got you covered! Here are three of my very favorites, I hope you enjoy them too!

     Avocado Toast is perfect for a quick 10 minute breakfast. Super healthy too!

    Avocado Toast - Slices of toast are sitting on a white marble counter. They are topped with mashed avocado, tomatoes, sprouts and a runny poached egg. Wedges of bright juicy oranges are in the background.

    Avocado Toast Breakfast Sandwich - an easy knock-your-socks-off breakfast done in ten minutes?

    Pumpkin Pancakes with Strawberry Syrup is another crowd please breakfast!

    A short stack of golden brown pumpkin pancakes topped with strawberries and blackberries. It's been drizzled with strawberry syrup. There is extra syrup for passing and bowls of blackberries and strawberries in the background.

    Have I talked you into making breakfast for dinner tonight? You're going to love these, I promise!

    Acai bowls continue to be quite the rage. We first tried these in Hawaii when we were visiting the kids. Acai is packed with antioxidants and just delicious!

    A bowl of healthy açaí berries blended into a creamy mixture topped with slices of peaches, strawberries, cherries and granola.

    Mixed Berry Acai Bowl - easy to make and we've enjoyed this as breakfast, but also a delicious treat at the end of the day.

    Clear glass jars filled with healthy toasted granola sitting on a white marble slab. There are chunks of toasted granola scattered on the marble also.
