-
Core an apple (or the fruit you choose). Cut it into slices and add it to the now empty food processor. Pulse a few times until it is your preferred texture. Add this to your serving bowl.

Mix everything in your serving bowl.

Add any optional toppings like milk, nut/seed butter, protein powder and/or vanilla. Enjoy (and often)!
Recipe Notes
Here are some ideas to create your own unique 10-minute healthy breakfast recipe:
- Swap apples for pears or other firm fruits for variety. As long as the fruit is fairly firm and lends itself to chopping, it should be fine.
- Experiment with different nut and seed combinations.
- Try dried fruits like goji berries or golden raisins.
- Add a sprinkle of cacao nibs for a chocolate twist.
- Mix in a scoop of your favourite plant- or animal-based protein powder for an extra boost.
