Bowlful, Mouthful

IMG_4611-2Blog

It wouldn’t be summer…. without cravings for cereal + milk!

IMG_4617-2Blog

They said you should use small bowls to control portions – but of course I chose my largest bowl today! But they also say voluminous foods are good for satisfying the mind and body, so my honey puffs and puffed quinoa made up for the big bowl with all their air.

I filled it out with some dense, satiating foods: a few tbsp of cville cluster, toasted buckwheat, chia seeds and sunflower butter. Without them I’d be hungry in an hour!

Blueberries, banana and milk rounded out the bowl.

[Quite a mouthful of ingredients!]

IMG_4613-2Blog

It was an amazing bowl of cereal!

IMG_4616-2Blog

On the side: Tazo Green – one of the few green teas I like

IMG_4610-2BlogIMG_4609-2BlogIMG_4620-2Blog

Two things define how I’m spending the rest of my day: Goggles and good bread!

    For 10 months of the year, I only want oatmeal for breakfast. But during hottest months of summer, cereal + yogurt + berries + PB are my go-to breakfast. I’m not sure whether it’s because it’s so hot outside, or simply that there are so many delicious berries in season. Yum.

    A farmers market just started coming to the Department of Health (where I work) every Thursday, and they have a Great Harvest stand. We don’t have any of these in our area so I’m really excited!
    So my question to you is- High Five bread, or Dakota bread? 😉

    Is there a specific thing you look for in cereal? Is wholesome ingredients good enough? or do you look for certain # such as fiber, etc?

      I think the simpler the better. I look for things like bran flakes or shredded wheat or a simple puffed whole food. I avoid things with isolated protein or added fiber – not how nature intended those foods to be consumed!
