My New Quick & Balanced Breakfast Options

By By Natalia Castro – Summerlin-NW Las Vegas Macaroni Kid Publisher January 5, 2019

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day… right? Then why is it so difficult to have a well-balanced breakfast every morning? I start my mornings at 6 am, on a late day, and most days I don’t eat until I am starving around 10 am. I usually think that the handful of cereal I grabbed from my daughter’s leftover bowl or the sip of smoothie I took from my son’s cup are enough to count as breakfast. I get on my kid’s case about starting the day off right and realize I need to practice what I’m preaching. 

Then I discovered BELVITA Breakfast Biscuits. I’ve tried protein bars and breakfast bars before. They either did not taste good or left me even hungrier. BELVITA Breakfast Biscuits had several flavors available at Target. I decided to try the Crunchy Blueberry, Crunchy Orange Cranberry and Soft Baked Banana Bread. 

The packs are super easy to grab and run out the door with. Each pack comes with 4 breakfast biscuits and each bite has little bits of fruit flavor. I paired my breakfast biscuits with Dannon Light & Fit Original Greek Yogurt and a piece of fruit and thought I was well on my way to a balanced breakfast.

 

Then I realized that the best way to have a well-balanced breakfast is with whole grains, which BELVITA Breakfast Biscuits covers, and a serving of fruit AND low fat dairy. My family does not drink dairy milk but luckily, Dannon Light & Fit Original Greek yogurt is the perfect pair for my breakfast biscuit and fruit combo. It comes in TWENTY flavors so I knew I would find flavors that I liked and with that much variety I wouldn’t get bored. 

There are several ways to enjoy BELVITA Breakfast Biscuits and Dannon Light & Fit Original Greek yogurt together. You can add fresh fruit and crumble the biscuit into the yogurt to make a tasty parfait. I love the idea of yogurt but struggle with the texture so combining the three makes for just the right amount of crunch and flavor.

 My absolute favorite way to eat this trio is using the BELVITA Breakfast Biscuits as a spoon and adding whatever fresh fruit I have on hand. Super simple and no clean up!
