Breakfast Menu

[Guest guest]

Note:

This isn't in any format but straight out typing in the " post " box.

the following menu and recipes are the brain child of Paul Wenner -

Mr. Gardenburger his own self. Hopefully he won't mind me sharing

one

of his breakfast menus (and one of my personal favorites)- but I

think

he also would very much like to spread his philosphy arund a little.

 

From

Garden Cuisine, Paul Wenner, 1997 Simon & Shuster

Fresh Fruit Toss (or Very Strawberry Smoothie (kid's favorite!!)

Mighty Multigrain Cereal

Almond, Rice, or skim milk (where included, use 1/2 cup of the lowest

fat product available)

Cool water with fresh squeezed lemon or Lime.

 

Fresh Fruit Toss:

(anything fresh from the produce aisle - organic if possible, lots

and different!fruits, berries, melons, grapes - you get the idea, now

comes the fun part...)

" Chop enought fruit so make at least a 1 cup serving/person. A

minimum of three fruit combinations is recommended for healthy eating.

This is one of two key sources for getting fruits in your menu every

day. The other is a delicious fruit smoothie. The more variety the

better, since every fruit offers many nutrients and much needed phyto

(plant) chemicals in varing amounts.

 

Very Strawberry Smoothie

(3 servings)

2 cups bananna chunks

2 cups frozen or fresh strawberries

2 tblspns unsweetened (thawed from frozen) apple juice concentrate

or 1 cup unsweetened apple juice, or 2 apples, peeled,cored and

chopped.

Ice cubes

Place everything in a blender and process on high unil thick and

smooth.

 

Mighty Multigrain Cereal

(tons of fun, I can't eat cold cereal any other way now...)

Makes 5-1/2 pounds, use lots of gallon zipper bags and throw excess

into freezer)

1-10 oz. box New Morning Honey and Almond Oatios

1-11.25 oz. Multi Grain Cheerios

1- 20oz box Kellog's Low Fat Granola

1-16.5 oz box Kellog's Raisin Squares

1 box Post Grape-Nuts

(get the cookbook if you can't find these cereals, it lists many

others that may be substituted - the thing is LOW FAT, LOW SUGAR,

generally good-for-you, crunchy, lots of textures and flavors,

totally

fun and filling - one bowl, not the whole bag)

Combine all of the cereals in a large plastic bag and mix completely.

(this breakfast will send you off with a smile in your shoes and

tummies!! amen. Again, this is a wonderful, little cookbook, made

for the real simple cooks in all of us - all vegetarian, utterly

tasty and even the kid likes most of the recipes which is worth the

price alone! Viva Tostada Grande!!)
