I love breakfast!  To me, cereal is a dead food in a box that never goes bad.

Because nuts and seeds are great source of protein and good fats, I always like to include them in my breakfast.  So what is all that stuff in my breakfast?

1.  Homemade whole organic yogurt (yes, I make my own yogurt and it’s so easy)

2.  Fresh mangoes, peaches, blueberries and strawberries (always use FRESH fruits in season, preferably organic and local, and never more than 1 cup per meal)

3.  Raw pumpkin seeds, pine nuts and walnuts (use any raw nuts and seeds).  Nuts and seed are rich in fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium.  They are also high in plant sterols and Omega-3 fats which have all been shown to lower LDL cholesterol and decrease heart disease.

Voila!  What a great way to start the day with a great breakfast!
