Strawberry Pecan Parfait

This is an absolutely divine evening time snack – whole raw pecans, homemade plain yogurt, with sliced strawberries and a drizzle of natural honey. Yummmmm.

You’ll need:

• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp sugar/ sweetener
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 3 Tbsp milk
• GF bread slices, frozen or fresh

Whisk this together in a shallow casserole dish or pie plate.

Dip bread quickly in egg, and place on hot griddle.  Cook over medium heat until brown on both sides.  Serve with fresh blueberries, strawberry yogurt, and gluten free (butcher’s choice) maple flavored breakfast sausages.  Yummmmmy.

- I’m drinking a perfectly balanced shake for breakfast, and I love how it makes me feel.  But I’m hungry again within a couple hours at best.  Why?

Her answer was enlightening and now I have a new recipe for my morning smoothie: She answered that, “The thing with smoothies and juices is that we are removing the fibre content that we would normally get from the whole fruit or vegetable.  So it is necessary to put it back in, in the form of wheat germ or bran, physillium husks, or flax.  And that will keep your digestive system working a little longer than plain juice will. Not verbatum, but something close.

So here’s my new fill-your-tummy smoothie:

-2 cups milk

- 3/4 c frozen blueberries

- 1 serving protein pwd

- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds

Personally, I find there’s a big difference between frozen and fresh blueberries. I prefer frozen!
