yummy breakfast

lately i’ve been feeling bad that i havn’t shared my delicious breakfast with you all :) here is what i eat pretty much every single morning. brigham can attest to this. and sometimes i eat it a couple more times each day for a snack…yummmm
moms granola
  • 3 c oats
  • 1/2 c instant milk
  • 1/2 c slivered almonds
  • 1/2 c chopped pecans
  • 1/2 c natural coconut
  • 1/2 wheat germ {i do 1/4 c wheat germ & 1/4 c flax seed}
  • 1/2 brown sugar {or applesauce}
  • 1/2 c oil {i use coconut oil mmm.}
  • 1/2 c honey {i like using 1/4 c agave nector & 1/4 c honey}
  • combine all ingredients, pour onto a cookie sheet, and bake 325 for 20-25 min.
  • {my oven only requires me to cook for like 15 min..so just start out low & keep an eye on it!}
  • {also, my sis gave me an awesome tip. if you want it chewy then mix it with your hands. :)}
i double this recipe & can easily go through it in a week..thats with brig eating only a couple bowls of it. its sooo good. oh, and i like mixing cereals..so i usually mix a half of bowl of this with a half a bowl of honey bunches of oats with pecans :) delish in a dish!
the last couple of days i decided to try making a strawberry spinach smoothie! this will now accompany my granola breakfast each morning. it was the best smoothie i’ve ever made! you gotta try it.
shelby’s strawberry spinach smoothie
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 3 frozen strawberries
  • 3 ice cubes
  • handful of spinach with stems cut off
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1 tbps flax seed
  • dash of raw stevia {organic sweetener, opt}
  • 1 c orange juice
  • fill the rest up {to the top of the fruit} with milk
  • BLEND.
ENJOY :)

  1. yum! that recipe is good that you gave me. i prefer almonds. also i love smoothies, i will have to try this recipe-its so hard for me to ever follow one i just throw everything in. ps, if you use frozen fruit its cheaper and you dont have to use ice cubes. the produce here stinks so that is what i have had to result to, but it still taste great! cant wait to try it with some greens :)
