Make Mornings Less Hectic with this Overnight Oats Recipe from @crownmaple!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Any mom can attest to the hectic mornings that happen year after year once school is back in session: breakfast is spilled in the kitchen or forgotten altogether, clothes get covered in toothpaste and homework papers are left on the dining room table. (Maybe hectic was an understatement…). This is my morning EVERY DAY it seems!

Luckily, this year Crown Maple, upstate New York’s preeminent maple brand, is here to harness some of that chaos while helping you and your family reclaim weekday mornings.


For the first time ever, Crown Maple has created five overnight oats recipes to make back to school mornings in your household easier, while keeping your kids full and focused until lunch time. Made using their 100% pure and certified organic maple syrups, these recipes can be prepped at night and kept in the fridge until the morning for a grab-and-go breakfast that will always hit the spot.

I tried several recipes including Blueberry Muffin Overnight Oats and Pumpkin Spice but I think my favorite was the Maple Apple Pie Overnight Oats! It was easy to make and tasted delicious...and it is perfect for Fall!

Check out the recipe below:

Maple Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Ingredients
1/2 cup organic rolled oats
3/4 cups unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp Crown Maple Very Dark or Cinnamon Infused maple syrup
1 apple, diced

Optional toppings: Granola, dried cranberries, a scoop of organic low-fat vanilla yogurt

Mix oats, almond milk and maple syrup in a mason jar. Refrigerate and let soak overnight. In the morning, top with a freshly diced apple, an extra drizzle of maple syrup and your favorite granola.


And this syrup is not just great for overnight oats - we have used on pancakes, waffles, in supper recipes with chicken and when baking! It is delicious, rich and so perfect as a topping!

Best of all, I love that it is organic so it is great for the whole family and our bodies!

You can purchase Crown Maple syrup from their online shop

The Changing American Breakfast

* This post is sponsored by belVita. All opinions are mine. *


As I mentioned in a previous post, tomorrow is National Cereal Day and this year belVita is encouraging you to trade in your spoons in favor of a balanced breakfast, like belVita Bites, fruit and yogurt!

Breakfast has always played an essential role in our diets but times have changed. As today’s modern family has evolved, consumers’ morning routines and breakfast eating habits have changed as well. belVita Bites are a convenient option for mornings on the run. Each 50g serving (one pouch) provides: 230 calories, 4g of fiber*, 20g of whole grain.
belVita has partnered with Registered Dietitian Keri Gans, Life Coach Christine Hassler, and author of Eat It to Beat It David Zinczenko to provide a few tips for a healthy breakfast and a smooth morning routine. Below are the bios for each of the influencers and also a few bullet points on the changing breakfast landscape:

Bios:

  • Keri Gans, Registered Dietitian
Keri is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Spokesperson and Media Personality with a private practice in New York City. She is the author of The Small Change Diet (Gallery, March 2011), a Past-Spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and a Past-President of The New York State Dietetic Association
  • Christine Hassler, Life Coach
Christine is a Life Coach with a counseling emphasis known for catalyzing radical self-reflection while offering practical direction and author of the Expectation Hangover. She is passionate about busting the myth that life is about living by a checklist and having it all figured out.
  • David Zinczenko, author of ‘Eat it to Beat it’
David is the author of the 8-million-copy bestselling Eat This, Not That! franchise. A prominent leader in the health and wellness industry, David is currently the ABC News nutrition and wellness editor, the consulting editorial director for Men’ ;s Fitness, and a consultant for American Media Magazines (AMI).

Influencer Tips:


  1. Said Keri Gans, Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, “A serving of belVita (which has @20g of whole grains/serving and 4g fiber per pack), with a low-fat Greek yogurt and a serving of fruit, can be the perfect grab and go complete breakfast.”
  2. Said David Zinczenko, New York Times best-selling author of Eat It to Beat It! and the Nutrition and Wellness Editor at ABC News, “Being that people today have no time to cook, they are looking for options with nutrition’s latest buzzwords – protein and fiber. belVita paired with a serving of non-fat yogurt and fruit hits on protein, fiber AND whole grains.”
  3. Said Christine Hassler, life coach and author, “Doing something 40 days in a row moves it from a change to a habit. Making a complete breakfast a habit starts today."
belVita recently hosted a breakfast panel leading up to National Cereal Day entitled, “The Changing American Breakfast.” Below are some great points that were made during it!

Did You Know…


  • Recommended amount of fiber for women is 30g, and 35g fiber for men.
  • A study by NPD Gr oup Inc. found that Americans have an average of just 12 minutes a day for consuming breakfast. That is about half the time we spend on lunch (28 minutes) or dinner (24 minutes).
  • Eating breakfast sets the tone for the day because it gets our blood sugar up which makes our brain function better the rest of the day. It gets our metabolism going. It reduces cravings later in the day. And it puts us in a better mood.
  • Dietary fiber from whole grains, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease.

So make sure to Trade In Your Spoon and start eating a balance breakfast every day!

Baked Egg Cups

Serves: 6 Prep Time: 12 minutes Cook Time: 18 minutes

Ingredients


  • 1 (8 oz) package al fresco® Country Style Breakfast Chicken Sausage, sliced into ½" pieces
  • 3 pieces Phyllo Dough 13" x 18", cut into 6" squares

NEW Products from Good Food Made Simple

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Over the years, consumers have reached for packaged foods because of convenience, often times without recognizing the health implications imbedded in the ingredients.

If you want convenience AND healthy, safe foods, let me steer you to Good Food Made Simple and their delicious selection of breakfast foods!

These packaged foods have NO artificial preservatives, flavors, colors, sweeteners, trans fat - nothing but fresh ingredients that you can recognize when you read an ingredient label. Many, many products make these claims, but only some have truly clean, understandable ingredients on their labels.



Good Food Made Simple is an all-natural brand committed to using clean, simple ingredients that meet their strict clean food criteria. That means no artificial preservatives, flavors, colors, sweeteners or hydrogenated oils (a source of trans fat). Good Food Made Simple offers the level of convenience people want without the unhealthy ingredient list.

There are two great products we absolutely LOVED from Good Food Made Simple: the NEW Breakfast in a Bowls and the Breakfast Burritos!


There’s something comforting about sitting down at a table to enjoy a warm breakfast. Using utensils. Picking your ‘perfect’ bites. Good Food Made Simple wants customers to have that luxury – not just on lazy weekends – but any day of the week. That’s why they put together the breakfast bowls. Think of these as “the chopped salad” version of breakfast. Delicious combinations of egg whites, nitrate free meats, fresh veggies and real cheddar cheese. A far cry from the other preservative and trans-fat laden breakfast bowls on the market, these breakfast bowls will have you feeling great and ready to tackle the day.

With the Breakfast Burritos, they start with unbleached wheat flour and avoid hydrogenated oils to press a tortilla that’s as good for you as it can be. They add diced whole eggs – the very same ones they offer as egg patties – and roasted russet potatoes with olive oil to create the taste profile that they all recognize as “breakfast.” From there, they add the finest and cleanest combination of farm fresh cheeses, fresh veggies, nitrate-free meats and fresh herbs and spices. Ready in under two minutes and available in four different varieties, these burritos make breakfast an all day occasion.

These both tasted great and were so convenient to heat up and eat! My husband loves eating them at work for breakfast AND lunch!

Buy It: You can purchase all Good Food Made Simple products from a local retailer near you!

Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I have mentioned before how I am LOVIN' Greek Yogurt right now as post-workout snacks and I have also recently gotten into the routine of having cereal every morning. (I used to HATE cereal!). So what better combination than the new Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch! I am a huge fan and so is my hubby! It has been his preferred cereal every morning!

With the one-of-a-kind unmistakable crunch of the traditional Post® Honey Bunches of Oats cereals, new Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch also mixes in the perfect combination of crispy whole grain flakes and two tasty, crunchy granola clusters made with real Greek yogurt. The original recipe of flakes and granola oat clusters, sweetened with just a touch of honey, was created in 1986. Long-time Post Foods employee Vernon J. Herzing and his daughter, Kimberly, mixed together different Post cereals, creating what would later become Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted. Today, Honey Bunches of Oats is one of the top-selling cereals in America, and 50 million smiles can’t be wrong!


New Honey Bunches of Oats Greek is made with two unique granolas made with Greek yogurt, crispy whole grain flakes and a touch of honey. With 33 grams of Whole Grains, one bowl provides over two-thirds of your day's Whole Grains. Nutritionists recommend eating three or more servings of whole grain foods per day (about 16g whole grain per serving or at least 48g per day) so Honey Bunches of Oats Greek is a great source and perfect choice for breakfast!

So look forward to breakfast every morning with the Honey Bunches of Oats Greek! It makes it easy for the entire family to Rise and Smile!

To learn more, head to www.honeybunchesofoats.com, follow them on Facebook, and follow them on Twitter: @HBOats

Buy It: You can purchase Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch from your local retailer!

Nature's Own Breads


My husband likes to wake up 5 minutes before he is supposed to leave for work every morning (after hitting the snooze like 20 times!) so he likes a breakfast that he can eat on the go! And usually that ends up being some sugary, processed and unhealthy breakfast....until I gave him Nature’s Own breakfast breads to eat! He LOVES them and they are great for his health and a great start to his day!

Nature's Own offers a delicious selection of fresh breads and buns made from nature’s best ingredients.

Nature’s Own…
• Has no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors
