A friend of mine eats a small fruit salad every day for breakfast. It sounds like a pretty healthy way to start the day.
One nice part about this breakfast is that you can make the fruit salad component the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight, where all you have to do to the following morning to make breakfast is mix in the mint and add the remaining premade components.
The following recipe is meant to serve four people.
Fruit Salad with Marcona Almonds, Greek Yogurt, and Fresh Mint
A friend of mine eats a small fruit salad every day for breakfast. It sounds like a pretty healthy way to start the day. One nice part about this breakfast is that you can make the fruit salad component the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight, where all you have to do to the following morning to make breakfast is mix in the mint and add the remaining premade components. The following recipe is meant to serve four people.

Homemade granola is always a welcome addition to the mix here, and keeps for weeks when stored in a covered airtight plastic container in a dry place.
