Breakfast--Good to Go

This month at the Inspired Plate our theme is breakfast.  As I sat down with the nutrition gal at my gym this last week I realized that I had been ignoring the great meal of breakfast of late. I know from my time as a kid that 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day' but frankly in the busyness of the day breakfast was getting lost in the shuffle.  Let's face it's a jungle out there with work, kids, school, church and life...whatever it is that keeps you ticking also keeps you moving.  My breakfast is inspired by the need for speed, mobility and a nutritious kickstart to my day.

Each breakfast in a bottle parfait pairs yogurt and fruit with the crunchy goodness of peanut butter granola. A great way to start the day and add a little fruit, dairy and protein to your diet.

So grab your breakfast and take a whirl around this month's blog circle starting with the fun and fabulous Kim Kelly | San Diego Food Photographer.  She is cooking up some tasty strawberry crepes. I can't wait to taste what's on her plate.

I like how you've made a breakfast that is both healthy and conveniently stored for future consumption! :) Love the photo pairings with the ingredients!

Love your styling Kat!! And the breakfast in a jar is a fabulous idea. Looks like you have fun with your shoot, the shots of the yogurt with the included flavors are fun. Well done!

Love your ideas, Kat!! What a perfect idea for breakfast on the go, or just to have it ready for kids first thing in the morning. We are totally going to do this...J would love assembling them. Great feel of morning to this breakfast, light coming in from behind and such happy colors!!
