To make your day just so much more awesome, start out with an awesome breakfast

Breakfast can be a riddle sometimes. There seems to be rules around the ritual regarding what constitutes a "breakfast food" and what just can't go. I can't eat a whole pile of these "breakfast foods" and wouldn't want to anyway. Cereals are so artificial and sugary. I don't understand what the goal is when people are creating these cereals, some taste OKish but they're not great, they are not so healthy and they are so so expensive. So I have a more natural kind of cereal. It takes a bit of prep but not much, though I think it is still pretty pricey. Super healthy and delicious though. So the first step is to get a good variety of nuts and dried fruits, oats, seeds, coconut, hemp hulls, puffed grains etc. Just get a bunch of stuff you like that is dried, chop it up if it's big and put it in an air tight container. You can be really creative with this. I once chopped up a bunch of banana chips and added it to the mix. Then every morning you take about 1/2 a cup, add to the bowl then slice up some fresh fruit over it, add soy milk and you have one seriously great breakfast.
