Try This Breakfast Solution: Faster and Healthier Than Cereal

My variation is granola instead of the nuts and, well, (blush) I have a 'thing' for canned peaches!!

But I a glad you mentioned Chobani and Fage yogurts. A thick yogurt like that is kinda essential for this breakfast. I don't love thin, runny yogurts and you do need the firmness to compete with the crunchy nuts or granola and sticky honey, or syrup, etc.

My fave which I pack in a container the night before. Great combo of protein and fiber and keeps me full until lunch.

- 6 oz. plain fat free yogurt

- 1/2 to 1 cup frozen mixed berries of your choice (I loooove Trader Joe's frozen fruit and it's priced right)

- Fiber One (at work, I keep a zip top bag of Fiber One and I add 1/4 to 1/2 cup prior to eating).

I use 1/4 c. nonfat greek yogurt with 1/4 c. each Kashi Go Lean & Original Fiber One cereals, some frozen or fresh blueberries, a small squirt of raw agave nectar and 1/4 t. cinnamon.

I have this breakfast quite often (as does my toddler - nearly daily for him), however, I make my own yogurt. A yogurt maker has easy to follow instructions, but a "maker" isn't necessary - I've made it in my slow cooker before. I simply strain my yogurt if I want a thicker, Greek-style. And like the post above, I also add fruit or a handful of a granola type cereal to it.

Be careful of the sugar content in those yogurts. Try Greek Gods, it has less sugar! :)

Melinda

Why can't I get past the bitter/sour taste of nonfat yogurt? Even with honey it makes my mouth pucker! And the greek version is even worse. I love this idea though, guess I'll have to go with the low fat instead of nonfat version :)

Andrea

Wow, my school serves cinamon roll/bun on Tuesdays for breakfast, and sometimes for lunch if there are extras. School lunch is getting healthier nowadays, isn't it? :D No...in my area, it is not...

Kathy

There is nothing but sweet goodness to the Stonyfield Organic Fat Free French Vanilla Yogurt! You should definitely give this a try Andrea.

Our favorite is to have 3/4 cup yogurt (which we use the Pampered Chef Prep bowls... awesome). Then top with small handful of Kashi GoLean Crunch (the one with the berries). My kids prefer frozen blueberries/strawberries.. but I really like the crunch. :)

Theresa

Mmm, sounds good! Have you tried berries too?

Nat

I make every morning...

1/8 dry "Coaches Oatmeal" cooked with 1/4 water in the microwave for 2 min. 22 sec. :)

1/2 cup blueberries (frozen) I add these first because they thaw in the hot oatmeal

1/2 cup Greek non fat yogurt
2 tablespoons of raw sunflower seeds
Delish!

Kyle

I try to keep homemade yogurt in the fridge at all times! I add frozen blueberries, walnuts and oats....sooo good! (and a packet of NuNaturals Stevia usually. I have quite the sweet tooth!)

I always have a smoothie to 'start' the day, however your recipe looks cool and yummy. I adore natural Greek Yogurt, so I will try your suggestion for a week or so..who knows, I may even ditch the smoothies!

John

John you can still have your smoothies. Just use a scoop of Chobani in it. Being a huge fan of smoothies myself I love trying mixing new things together. Lately I've been using carrot juice, soy milk, Chobani vanilla, frozen peaches and raspberries and a handful of baby spinach. For added nutrients I sometimes add bee pollen, ground flax seeds and local honey. Mmmm now I'm hungry!

Amy

I would love to hear your thoughts on protein shakes for breakfast.

Sally

I add some sort of high fiber cereal to my yogurt. Usually Trader Joe's Fruit and Nut Multigrain Medley or Cherios. I also like to add crisp diced apples (Jazz Apples work well)

Kristen

omg you saved my life snack girl!

Sara

The best plain yogurt I've ever tasted is Cabot Greek.

Amy

I am still in high school and find myself struggling with time for breakfast between showering and packing my bag so this recipe will definitely help me. Thanks!!

Keeley

I take Fage 2% and put frozen fruit and Agave on it in a container. By mid morning the fruit has thawed and when mixed up it looks like a high calorie bowl of Ice Cream but its just healthy and yummy yogurt. This makes me eat much less through out the day because I feel like I cheated when I didn't.

Linda

I love plain Yoplait light & fit greek yogurt which is only 80 calories per serving and I mix in lemon curd and top with chunky granola. Delicious but tends to be more desserty.
