The Smoothie Vegetarians

Hi All, Hope everyone had a good weekend! I want to talk about breakfast this week. Personally I am not a big breakfast person and I tend to eat more of the breakfast foods for brunch,  lunch, dinner or even a snack. That being said, one of my absolute favorites is porridge of any kind whether it be oatmeal, farina, cream of wheat or grits to name a few.  However, when I visited the Dominican Republic last year I had a fantastic porridge (I believe that is what the sign on the buffet said) which was made from oat flakes and called avena. I have never had such a creamy, smooth oatmeal in my life. When I came home, the search was on, I found it in the ethnic section of one of my local supermarkets. This is a wonderful, inexpensive way to feed a family. So this week, I am going to share my recipe with you! On the actual package it gives directions to make it as a cold drink or a hot dish.

Breakfast is such an important meal for getting your first boost of energy for the day, but some people struggle with getting healthy food in. I have been trying to switch my breakfasts up more often lately and have been trying a lot of new things.

Another thing I have noticed since switching my diet and lifestyle is that I have been so much so productive in my day and have not been getting tired. I have not needed as much coffee and I really only drink a little because I personally like the taste.

I have also made a tofu scramble, which I like a lot because it does not have that rubbery texture like eggs do. I usually break up some tofu in a pan and season it with ginger, paprika, turmeric, garlic, and nutritional yeas...

Hey guys! Today I wanted to share a super yummy breakfast food today. This morning I had time to make a really awesome breakfast. I went to the store last night they had the really pretty gala apples in the reduced produce bin. I bought two big bags of them. I thought thew gala apples would make a perfect star for my breakfast dish. I absolutely love the flavor of gala apples, they are my second favorite! (Granny Smiths are my first favrotes!) As expected they made a perfect addition to the oatmeal.  This was the perfect breakfast but would also make a perfect dessert! I hope you enjoy making this recipe as much as I did!
