In all seriousness, I am hypoglycemic and if I don't eat often, I feel miserable. So, I never skip a meal. I am a picky breakfast-eater though. I would really just like to eat donuts, cookies, and pastries everyday but then I wouldn't be able to call this blog "Little Mommy." When you think of healthy breakfast choices, many people think of oatmeal and yogurt as being a sound choice. While they have their health benefits, they are often loaded with sugar, or sugar substitutes. So, I'd like to share two simple, and healthy breakfast choices that help to fix my sweet tooth most mornings. (When my sweet tooth is too large - O'DoodleDoo's Donuts are soooo yummy ...just once in awhile) ;)
Little Mommy's Quick and Easy Yogurt Parfait
1 1/2 c. of plain fat free (regular) yogurt
1/2 c. granola (I like BareNaked Peak Protein)
1/4 c. frozen organic blueberries (I leave them frozen as it makes for an interesting change in texture.)
1-2 tbsp. (more or less) of Agave
I mix this together in an empty coffee mug, or small glass container and eat it as I'm headed to work. Who says there isn't time for a healthy and satisfying breakfast?
Little Mommy's Oatmeal
1/2 c. of Quaker oats
1 c. water, or skim milk
Microwave for 1 min. 30 sec.
Add in 1/2 - 1/4 c. walnuts
1 tbsp. or more of organic brown sugar
2 tbsp. Craisins
For a little twist - use brown sugar, a tbsp or more of canned pumpkin, and apple pie or pumpkin pie spice. Yumm!
Enjoy these two breakfast "treats" without the guilt of the prepackaged sweeteners and artificial colors. Best dishes and yummy dreams!

Another favorite of mine? Breakfast "MilkShake"... In a blender, combine 2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt (I like "Light & Fit", 2 cups of your favorite frozen fruit (just make sure it's not the kind packed in syrup, I use mango, peaches, strawberries, or a combo), and a splash of skim milk. Blend away until nice and smooth! Read more about it here: http://haganhouse.blogspot.com/2010/02/whats-cookinfor-breakfast.html
Yummy - have to try it!
I've never been much of a yogurt person, but I am absolutely IN LOVE with Stoneyfield OIKOS fat-free Greek yogurt -- I'll eat it with strawberries and it's like strawberries and cream, and I've also used it in lieu of sour cream or salad dressing on potatoes, dips, etc. It is D-I-V-I-N-E!
I'll have to try it! Thanks for sharing :D
I was only thinking of having yoghurt and granola for breakfast today and you've just reminded me. It looks delicious. I'd love for you to link up to my new "Thriving on Thursdays" linky party here in Australia every week. My blog features recipes, crafts, decorating, organising and decluttering advice and tips. I know everyone in Australia would love to read this blog post.
