Healthy Breakfast

I love cereal for breakfast.  Of course, I have GF cereal and soy instead of milk – It still tastes yumilious to me.  But, since I have been trying to eat healthier, I was searching for a more nutritious and more substantial alternative.  And I came up with this concoction.  It doesn’t have a name because I have no clue what to call it.  I wanted something not too high in fat (obviously), but also something low in sugar, since I am insulin resistant.  I find that sometimes I get hungry quickly after having my fav cereal breakfast, whereas this has been pretty filling and keeps me going longer.  (I don’t like having savoury dishes for breakfast too much, so that’s why I stay away from eggs and such.)  BTW, this tastes like you are eating ice cream!  For breakfast!!!

On a side note, I tried my first attempt at low fat, low sugar banana bread.  It tastes good, but is so dense.  And it looks like I used too much wet ingredients in comparison to dry ingredients.  It’s good for toasting, so I will try again…

Breakfast Without A Name

2 cups frozen blueberries

3-4 tablespoons apple juice

2 teaspoons lemon concentrate

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine the above ingredients in a small sauce pan.  Bring to a boil and then lower temperature and simmer for 15 minutes.  The sauce is runny.  Cool and refrigerate.

1/3 cup yogurt or soyogurt (I use strawberry)

1 banana

Put the yogurt in a cereal bowl, slice the banana on top.  Top with about three heaping tablespoons of blueberry sauce.  Eat! 

The blueberry sauce would taste great on my vanilla cake recipe, along with ice cream or whipped cream!  Not that that’s healthy, but it would be very yummy!
