When you need a wholesome, healthy breakfast, sometimes you just have to do it yourself…
Here are a few recipes to get you started on making your own breakfast treats from scratch. Once you have mastered these techniques, you can experiment with different flavors and combos to dress up your yogurt, smoothie, or cookie— the possibilities are endless!
Coconut milk yogurt is an easy start for any breakfast. Topped with granola, berries, or cereal, it’s fun layered in a yogurt parfait, and has a great, tropical flavor reminiscent of fond summer memories- even as leaves are changing and the air is becoming cooler. This recipe for coconut milk yogurt is awesome, and I highly recommend making it in the evening, as you need to set aside 12 hours for your yogurt to become yogurt in the oven. Also, it’s super important that you sterilize your jars that will hold the yogurt, so make sure to follow those steps I listed in this video closely. The reward of having this on hand in the morning is well-worth the effort!

Adding a tablespoon or two of coconut milk yogurt to this dairy-free smoothie is the perfect addition for a healthy jump-start to your day. Especially if your plans involve a pumpkin patch, Halloween costume, or hay ride, it’s a great way to keep the energy up without the seasonal sugar crash! Depending on how you like your smoothie, you can add more almond milk for additional creaminess. Also, if you are anything like me, this is about the point where I begin craving pumpkin spice anything, so this drink is an economical way to get the flavors going daily.
