Breakfast of Champions!

 I don't often make time for such a breakfast ... but when I do I go all out.  

Oatmeal has all kinds of health benefits. Don't forget, the longer it takes to cook the better it is for you (it means it is less processed).  I turn my oatmeal into a power food (I make it count!) and it sure does sustain me throughout the day. 

Oatmeal + Almond milk (or coconut milk), cinnamon (lots of it), craisins or raisins, roasted almonds (or whatever nuts I have on hand), flax seeds, raw fiber, and sweeten with agave. 

DELICIOUS!
What do you eat for breakfast?

Chex Treat

 Remember the yummy traditional sweet Chex mix?  Well this is my version of it. 

1 box Chex cereal (corn or rice -- I actually like to mix 1/2 and 1/2)

1/2 bag coconut toasted (just put it in a frying pan on high heat and stir it around)

slivered almonds - about 1/2 c.

In a sauce pan mix

3/4 c. Karo syrup

3/4 c. agave

2 cubes butter

a dash of salt

Boil for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat, stir in 1 tsp vanilla.  Pour mixture over cereal.  Stir to coat.  

Let cool for a minute and add M&M's (I like peanut butter M&M's but you can add whatever flavor you want.  I was just think that the coconut ones would be delicious!) Spread mixture out on wax paper to finish cooling.Store in an air tight container. Enjoy!

By using less Karo (3/4 c instead of 1 1/2 c) and agave (instead of 1 1/2 c sugar) you have made this traditional treat a little less evil but just as yummy!
