Sunshine in a bowl

As I have mentioned before, I am a breakfast person.

If I don't eat first thing in the morning, I am a grumpy Shrek of a human all day long.

Especially in the winter, when the outside world is pretty much devoid of anything pretty or warm to keep me going.

Not even snow around here this year. At least that sparkles sometimes.

So lately, I have been incorporating a lot of tropical fruit into my breakfasts so that I can pretend like there is, indeed, sunshine out my window.

Behold my favorite breakfast of the moment (and fruit of the week!), kiwi.

That may not look like the loveliest bowl of stuff, but really, it's amazing. Not to mention satisfying AND super healthy.

Oatmeal, almond butter and kiwi all blended up may sound weird, but trust me, it's this kind of creamy, tangy, masterpiece. Bonus: Add blueberries. I didn't have them on hand when I crafted this particular bowl of goodness, but they are an excellent little addition.

However, this is only my most recent fruit-oatmeal-almond butter concoction. There are about a million others, but here are some of my other favorites!

+Apples

+Strawberries and bananas

+Peaches

+Blackberries

+Pineapple and coconut

I also like to brew a cup of pineapple blueberry tea to go with the tropical theme. It doesn't give me a tan like a real vacation, but really, those don't give me a tan, either. 

So they're pretty much equal.

Happy breakfasting!
