The kid asked if there were any more chores he could do to earn some extra cash, and he’s now in charge of food prep! It’s not only about the chopping and cooking though, it is his job is to make sure we always have beans, rice, oats, carrots, and plant milk (aka nut juice, he’s 12, it’s funny) on hand and ready to go. These are things we…
This cereal is a sweet, tasty breakfast treat that everyone seems to like! I usually make a double batch of it so we can just heat it up quickly on busy school mornings. I got the recipe from Dr. Fuhrman’s email newsletter a couple of years back, but it can also be found in his book Super Immunity. A few notes about the ingredients: * Make sure you use short…
Yes, pancakes. These fall more into the fruit and whole grains for breakfast category than veggies for dinner, but people have been asking about breakfast, especially for kids, and this puts a pretty good spin on the old classic. Pancakes are typically problematic with the refined white flour, dairy, eggs, sugar, and additives and preservatives. This version is pure whole, lightly refined, plant food, and they are delicious! Banana…

We love Oatmeal for breakfast, especially when it’s loaded up with lots of fresh fruit. We used to add fruit at the table, to each of our bowls individually, until I tried adding fruit while the oatmeal is cooking… The result is AMAZING!! The flavor and natural sweetness from the fruit is absorbed into the oats as they cook, making every bite absolutely delicious! Prep time: 10 min Serves: 6…
I eat fruit and nuts for breakfast every day during the week and I switch it up a little on the weekends. Today I’m having strawberries, pineapple, a banana, and some almonds. I usually buy fruit from the cafeteria at work, which gets a little pricey, but they almost always have strawberries, and sometimes blueberries, and on those days I know it’s worth it. I fill one of those containers,…
