Breakfast for a New Beginning

I have made something similar to this before but this breakfast I stepped up a notch. One of the first things I learned to do when I became a health nut was make these awesome breakfast muesli's. Since I feel like I am starting again at square one, I went back to basics and started my day making this nutrient dense concoction of health in a bowl.  

Chopped up some

• pecans
• walnuts
• raw cashews
• banana chips

On top of that I added chopped and peeled

• apple 
• bananas
• blue berries (didn't chop or peel these)

Topped with

• ground flax seed
• hemp seed
• soy milk 
• drizzle of maple syrup

It was a pretty big breakfast in the end, took forever to eat it all.

Who needs AC when you have awesome fruit pops?

It's kind of muggy today. We don't have an air conditioner installed because we are moving (and I hate them) but my little dude was getting hot so I threw together these Popsicles. Took no time at all and he really loved them.

Step 1: Cut a few strawberries into bits and push them into the Popsicle tray. I pushed them down and added more once they seemed full. I didn't pack the berries tightly because I wanted the juice to fill in well.

 Step 2: Add juice. Check for air pockets and if you see any, just use a knife to release the air. Air bubbles can cause the Popsicle to fall apart when you try to get it out.

Step 3: Freeze for 1-2 hours minimum.

Step 4: When good and frozen run the pop you want to dislodge under hot water. Just expose the sides, not the top. Then it should slide out pretty easily.

Step 5: Feed to your monster(s). Will keep 'em happy for a bit. They may get messy but that just makes it more fun.
