I can't tell you how far soy yogurt has come, just in the past two years. It used to be completely, and I mean completely unpalatable, but somehow, they finally "got it"!
I have recently discovered a particularly yummy one by the Turtle Mountain folks - "So Delicious Dairy Free Yogurt". Give the "Cinnamon Bun" flavor a try, and you won't be sorry - it's downright sinful! A spoonful will take care of that Sunday morning cinnamon roll craving you have - in a snap!
Many people ask me, "What, exactly, do you eat?" Well, I'm going to use this Blog to answer that question. I'll chronicle some of the meals that we eat to hopefully give you an idea, or two, for your own healthful eating.
That leads me to the discussion of "Jenny Bowls". I often eat what many would consider an unconventional breakfast since I very rarely eat eggs. One breakfast I particularly enjoy is what Robert has deemed, a "Jenny Bowl". I don't know why he is so amused by it, but he is. Makes perfect sense to me and it is certainly filling and yummy! And, it's probably one of the more "conventional" breakfasts I prepare!
A "Jenny Bowl" consists of fresh fruit, usually 3 different kinds. Almost always it has diced apples and sliced bananas as we always have those in the pantry. The third fruit is whatever else might be on hand - usually fresh pineapple or berries.
Next comes granola - sometimes homemade, sometimes not and Kashi Nuggets. Kashi Nuggets are like Grape Nuts. They are made with 7 different whole grains. A half cup of Kashi Nuggets provides: 7 grams of protein, 48 g of whole grains and 7 grams of fiber. I don't use an entire half cup in a "Jenny Bowl" creation, probably more like a quarter cup. It's a great product, and if you haven't tried it before, you should!
Next, I spoon on soy yogurt (until recently, this used to be any kind of fruit flavored yogurt, but now that I discovered Cinnamon Bun, it is my current favorite!).
Lastly I top it all off with a generous sprinkle of sunflower seeds.
Voila! That's a "Jenny Bowl".
Robert would probably not admit it, but he's consumed more than a few of these! Give your own "Jenny Bowl" a try using your favorite fruits and yogurt flavor. I think you, too, will like the mix of crunchy granola and nuts paired with creamy yogurt and soft fruit. For a special treat, layer your creation into a pretty parfait glass for that special 'breakfast in bed' morning!
