Breakfast Cereal

We had a rough month.  I don't really know why.  We ate things I thought we'd given up.  I gained weight.  blah blah blah.

May is here and I'm recommitting!!!  I have really struggled with breakfast from the begining of this journey.  I am okay with eggs and veggies for awhile, but I can't do it everyday.  I also can't do green smoothies for very long.  And if you fail at breakfast, it's so easy to fail the rest of the day.  I decided I was missing cereal in my life.  I guess I didn't realize how much we ate it.  It's quick, cold and easy.

So I went looking for inspiration last night.  There are many ideas for Paleo granola and cereal.  I picked this one:


You can find it here.

Anyway, I changed it a little.  But honestly, I could eat this every morning!!!  It was quick, light, fresh, filling, everything I've been looking for.

Here's what I did:

2 Tbs chia seeds
1/2 cup almond milk
1/4 cup almonds, roughly chopped (soaked if you've thought about it)
sprinkle of raw pumpkin seeds
a few chopped up strawberries
tiny drizzle of agave (the strawberries were sweet, I probably didn't even need this)

Soak the chia in the milk first.  Add everything else.  Add more milk (or water) if you want.

You could add anything!!  Bananas, apples, blueberries, cinnamon, flax, different nuts, etc.

Anyway.  Thought I'd share a quick, Summer breakfast.

Oh Jen!!  We all (especially Stephen) LOVE the banana waffles.  I was telling Lindy that I misread the recipe the first time and ended up nearly doubling the flax.  It can handle it.  They are SO good.  We eat them with sliced bananas and agave on top.  Calleigh always has seconds.  Thanks for a winner!!!  We've had them for dinner several times :o)
