Fruit & Wheat Berry Breakfast Bowl

Are you tired of eating the same ol’ crap? Cereal is boring, and it leaves much to be desired (even if it’s frosted and has marshmallows). Eggs are great and come in many forms (frittatas, scrambles, soufflés), but even they get boring every day. Plus, variety is key to a healthy diet… and brain. Too much monotony and you’ll go crazy.

So, with that said, I’d like to introduce you to the Fruit and Wheat Berry Breakfast Bowl. It’s a new arrival to my own breakfast menu, and I’m a big fan.

This is an excellent substitute if you like oatmeal. But, unlike packaged oatmeals that come packed with sugar and low on nutrients, this is all homemade… yet still simple to make. So, you can control the amount of sugar, and increase your fiber which reduces your body’s absorption of that sugar.

Filled with whole grains, probiotics, fiber and antioxidant rich spices, you’d think it was just healthy for you. But, oh no, it’s so full of flavor, the Lucky Charms Leprechaun would weep with envy.

But hey, I gotta be honest. As you know, I try not to bother you and keep to myself. But of lately I’ve had my concerns.
