A Happy, Healthy Start to Your Day

While I do love some vegan pancakes, a tasty tofu scramble, or a fresh veggie saute to start my day, sometimes my body craves a simple fresh breakfast. That's when I reach for my basket of fruit and put together a healthful bowl of sweetness. I chop up a variety of fruit and round out the meal with a homemade muffin, or a cup of granola, and a big cup of green tea with a drizzle of agave. ~Red berry & chocolate granola, 1/2 a banana~ one tangelo, apple slices, fresh kiwi and green tea with agave You can also always toss your fruit into a cup of yogurt, add a handful of raw cashews and dried fruit, or mix with granola and splash on some milk.  I've even surrounded a square of leftover cornbread with fruit! So many delicious possibilities! ~Fresh blueberries, raspberries and almond granola on top of ~ coconut flavored almond milk yogurt ~Dried apricots, fresh blueberries, cherries and raw cashews~ ~Vegan sweet cornbread, fresh blueberries, sliced pluo

Apple Oat Muffins!

Apparently, most of those types of recipes call for bran and also call for eggs. As you know, I bake everything vegan and was not about to reach for eggs just to use up the ingredients I had.

These little gems are great for snacks, a quick on-the-go breakfast or even a guilt-free dessert! Enjoy!
