Here is what happens in the morning: I wake up at exactly 7:06AM because there is a foot in my face. Then I hear my son’s voice “whispering” (not whispering) in my ear: “MOM. MAMA. MOMMMM. WAKE UP.” Then, from the other room: “MAMA BABAAAAAAA!” (Translation: Mom get me a bottle yesterday please and thanks.)
My children very obviously wake up with the word “BREAKFAST” ping-ponging around in their heads. Like, the first order of business better be food delivery, or things will get really real. Except there is one minor problem with this: In addition to being early risers, my children are also highly specific about what types of foodstuffs they like. Cereal, for example, is okay. Cereal with milk in it is VERY SERIOUSLY NOT.
You know what both of them love? Like, practically from the day they were born? Yogurt.
The perfect pick as part of our breakfast: Plenti Oatmeal Meets Greek Yogurt – it makes my kids happy because they’re eating something delicious, and it makes me happy because I get to feel all virtuous (Greek yogurt! Whole grains!) while freeing up my hands for other tasks, like last night’s dishes (The Bachelor seemed more important at the time; ssh). Sometimes I even make it extra fancy (chopped up fresh fruit! a sprinkle of cinnamon!).
What’s your favorite fruit that you would pair with Plenti Greek Yogurt to kick your morning off right?
