Faster than instant oatmeal. More powerful than a bowl of cereal. Able to make small children smile with a single spoonful…it’s Super Yogurt! This and a glass of milk is literally all our boys need until lunch. It’s full of protein and good fat to give them tons of fuel to start their day.

Here’s how you make it. In everyone’s bowl, drop in some:

Nancy’s Whole Milk Plain Yogurt (Or some other equivalent that’s not full of junk. Forgo that runny low-fat, high-fructose junk. Get the fattiest, thickest, plainest you can find. It’s delicious and chock full of goodness. Also the “good” fat content will give you more energy that lasts longer.)

Fresh/Frozen Berries (Our boys *love* the frozen blueberries from Costco. They are amazing!)

Granola (We recommend simple, basic, organic granola like this one from Cascadian Farm. No foof, no frills, no junk.)

Top it off with streaks of golden honey (Interesting note: we recently read that local honey helps abate pollen/grass allergies. Using local flowers and thus local pollen, acts like a serum. And you’re supporting a local company!)

Enjoy!

This entry isn’t so much about a “Mealtime Matter” but a PRE-Mealtime Matter. In other words, growing your own meal!

We’ve wanted to plant a garden for a long time, but in our 50′ x 100′ lot, there’s not a lot of room. Then friends told us about Square Foot Gardening and showed us the results. Absolutely amazing and totally manageable for any “smarty parent.” It only took us about two hours to build, fill and plant this garden. And The Boys had a blast!
