Whats a New Year without resolutions right?! For several years now, I havent really made any resolutions up until for this year. I gave up on them as I never took them seriously to stick to them. Maybe, I never really needed the change of whatever the resolution I made. So anyway, after a not so great 2016, I decided maybe it is time to make some resolutions for the new year, some that I know I will try a lot harder to stick to, as they personally mean something to me.

One is to reduce my sugar intake or rather dependency on sugar, as I have a huge sweet tooth and lately I have not been too proud of that. More of that for some other time. Another is to make sure I eat something healthy and filling for all three of my meals. I tend to skip meals and compensate by eating a rather unhealthy snack or eating something that I regret later because I was too hungry and did not get time to make something good. Breakfast is one meal that I am not too proud of skipping the most.

When we went to Hawaii in 2015, I remember eating acai bowls after acai bowls and I managed to successfully recreate some after coming back here and that went on my breakfast rotation, along with the regular bread and eggs. I remember loving it and wonder how I forgot all about it last year.

The secret to making a great smoothie bowl is to have a variety of things – fruits, nuts, cereal or granola – something sweet, something nutty, something crunchy, something chewy – texture and taste is everything. Other wise all bites tend to be the same and you can easily get bored of it.

For the crunch part in my smoothie bowl, this time around, I added Post® cereal’s Grape-Nuts. These make my smoothie bowl have a little more of a substance as they have wholesome ingredients like whole grain wheat and barley. This combined with the fruits and the yogurt and the nuts in the smoothie bowl makes for a power packed breakfast that is sure to make your day great! Also they are non-GMO verified and that is a huge win in my books.

Here is a little something – a coupon for you to buy some Post® cereal brand goodies for yourself. Do you have a favorite among them? If so, which one and tell me what you like to make with it? (other than enjoying it as a regular bowl of cereal with some milk goodness, of course)
