Ah friends. We have made it to Friday. This week wasn't even long or exhausting for me, but it's just nice to know you get a little break. It's good for the soul. But no kick-off to the weekend can start off on the right foot without a healthy breakfast, right?! And so, I introduce to you my newest favorite breakfast. Greek yogurt with ground blueberry-infused flax seed and a dried berries granola combination. All purchased with love from Trader Joe's, and eaten with gusto every morning this week.
As my family knows, I grew up hating breakfast. I used to skip it entirely. I'm awful about making time to eat it before I leave for work (or used to leave for school) and while was in school it was impossible to eat in class, so I just skipped the meal. Now that work allows for noshing at one's desk, breakfast has been newly introduced to me. (Ha! See how I used word-choice to make it seem like eating at one's desk is a privilege rather than the slow sucking of any semblance of free time? Glass is always half-full, my friends)
I throw the yogurt into reusable Tupperware, toss the flax seed and granola into a reusable Ziploc baggie, and I'm good to go! And this meal, I love. I know it doesn't look appetizing -and Greek yogurt can take some getting used to - but I promise you the mix of flavors and textures in this breakfast will delight your senses! And with all these healthful, nourishing ingredients costing less than $13 and lasting me for a little over a weeks worth of breakfasts, what's not to love?! Now go to, and have a wonderful weekend!
i grew up hating it too. but this looks delicious--i'm gonna have to try it!
