I wanted to share this recipe that I have been eating for breakfast since Audrey was born.  It’s quick, delicious, and really nourishing.  The original recipe was from Good (Cheap) Eats, and I doubled it and made a few modifications.

This recipe is really easy to modify to your tastes.  Use flavoured yogurt, almond or other nut milk, different sweeteners, and whatever berries you prefer.  I cut it into 12 portions and freeze it to have breakfast for the week.  It reheats really well!

Yummy berries!

PC Greek yogurt – cheap, and delicious

Costco is the best place to get vanilla
