I picked up this trick on the farm last year and have been loving using it this week to make my breakfasts more quick and wholesome, since I'm sick of smoothies! The whole process takes only 15 minutes...that's right, 15 minutes! It's the quickest meal I can think of, short of reheating leftovers.
It should also be noted that this recipe can be used for any meal of the day. This week I ate it for breakfast one day and lunch the next. It also lends itself to be a super brain-boosting meal if you amp up the healthy fat content with some of the optional additions I note below in the recipe.
All ingredients are fresh and in season right now. So, hit up the farmer's market this weekend and try making it next week! Enjoy.
