KL'S BLACK-BERRY POWERFUL SMOOTHIE

This Saturday I'll be on the go early and on my feet all day so I wanted to make a quick & healthy breakfast smoothie since I slept in a bit longer instead of my usual morning workout!


Here's all I put together:
1 cup of 100% 'Not From Concentrate' Orange Juice
1 cup of fresh Blackberries
2 squeezed Key Limes (juice & seeds)
1 teaspoon of 100% Grade B Maple Syrup
1 Blender
1 Motivational Song (optional, but highly recommended, haha!)


Pour the OJ first into blender then follow up with all of the other ingredients. Blend on high for about one minute, or until it is a puree (as blackberry seeds are very small), pour into a tall glass and...BOOM---YOU'RE DONE!!
That's FAST and HEALTHY =]

SPELT FLAKES CEREAL WITH BLACKBERRIES & WALNUTS

For breakfast today, I cooked up this healthy organic hot breakfast cereal and decided to throw in some fresh blackberries that I caught on sale at Dierberg's family market & walnut pieces! It's a great meal to kick off a chilly morning if you have a busy day ahead of you!
Made with 100% spelt grains, walnuts, and natural fruit, this meal produces a strong immune body & will not slow you down... so it is the perfect meal for my FAST lifestyle!


Ingredients: 
2 cups water
1 cup organic spelt flakes (roasted and rolled)
6-10 fresh blackberries
1 handful of walnut pieces1 chunk of course Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
1 teaspoon organic Raw Blue Agave Nectar (optional as sweetner)


Tools:
Saucepan
Knife
Spoon


1. Bring 2 cups water & your pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt to a boil.
2. While waiting on your water to boil, now is the perfect time to rinse the blackberries, we'll add them after the hot cereal is finished.
3. Once the water is boiling, add your 1 cup of spelt flakes, stir, and cook at least 3 minutes (I usually cook my spelt flakes about 4 minutes).
4. Slowly drain any unwanted remaining water and add your 1 teaspoon of agave sweetener and stir, then and blackberries and top with walnut pieces... wallah, all done!
5. Enjoy =)
