Breakfast has without question been one of the trickier meals of the day to address since I cleared up my eating habits. Although I’d love a combination of avocado and eggs on a daily basis, time is just never going to allow. So, today’s recipe offers a pretty tasty alternative to sugar and processed grain laden cereals.
