Vanilla Spice Fruit and Yogurt with Nuts
July 26, 2008
peaches, local blueberries, walnuts, vanilla, awesomeness...
It’s summer, and here in the South, it’s really hot. I wake up hungry, and I know I need to eat something with protein instead of some sugary cold cereal, but I don’t want heavy, warm, gooey omelet. *shudder* Luckily, I picked blueberries from plants at a horticulture lab on campus (Ask around! I bet someone you know knows where to find free blueberries or blackberries this summer!) and was inspired to make one of my favorite, simple, crazy-delicious breakfast-y snack foods.
Vanilla Spice Fruit & Yogurt with Nuts
- 1/2 cup plain dairy or soy yogurt (or vanilla, if you can handle sugar early in the morning
) - 1/2 cup sliced peaches, fresh or frozen berries, apple chunks, or other fruit
- 1/4 cup walnuts, pecans, or other nuts
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- tiny pinch of nutmeg
- splash of vanilla extract
- honey, brown sugar, or molasses to taste (optional: fruit may be sweet enough)
Toss everything into a pretty bowl. Admire. Scarf. Repeat.
