Day 8 - Healthy Breakfast

I made this breakfast for my friend who is a vegan.  All of these fruits give us super energy for a busy day. Blueberry contains antioxidants which are great for eyes, the immune system, and they make our body stronger. Kiwi is a super food that has lots of fiber and Vitamin C to make our skin beautiful! 
I often make a simple syrup - In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the 1 cup of water to a simmer. Add 1 cup of sugar and stir until it completely dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Pour the syrup into a clean 1-pint bottle, cap it and refrigerate until ready to use.

  1. Thank you, Eiko! These were excellent to start a day and felt so pampered all day. Both goes so well with multi-grain granola.
    I became a fan of sprinkled dried lavender flowers. It heals you inside out.
