Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is also my favorite. From the days when I used to eat way-too-sugary cereals as a child to the days when my college roommates and I would hoard granola from the dining hall, breakfast foods have always been, for me, the tops. Even as a working woman there are days when I’d rather curl up with a bowl of crunchy granola/cereal for dinner instead of putting together a time-intensive concoction. (Am I in the minority here?)
Well, we’re excited to let you know about Mix My Granola, a start up company that began because the three founders (Andreas, Matt and Raoul) were in a quandary over which combination of granola is the tastiest. And boom! The idea for Mix My Granola, where you can mix and match the ingredients for your own perfect unique granola blend, was born.
From choosing your base granola to mix-ins as varied as antioxidant rich goji berries, dried blueberries, dried strawberries, dried raspberries, almonds, and fun things like gummy bears, crystallized ginger and M&Ms, Mix My Granola gives you an out-of-the-box way to create your perfect granola mix.
This week, we’re giving away THREE GIFT CERTIFICATES for $10 each, that will go toward making your own Mix My Granola mix.
Here are a few ways to enter:
The more times you enter, the more chances you have to win! Just remember to leave a comment for each contest entry you complete.
Note: Please use a valid e-mail address.
One lucky winner will be chosen randomly. Giveaway ends Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Winners will be reached by email, and announced on the blog on 11/18/09.
Good luck!

Pancakes with maple syrup are my favorite breakfast item. I don't eat them often since they're not the best choice health wise but they sure are delicious!

My fave breakie is by far eggs benedict, french press coffee and fresh fruit for dessert. Yes, I firmly believe that even breakfast should have a dessert element. All the better if you have a man around to prepare it for you, of course.

I love a good tofu scramble on the savory side of things, but it is hard to beat oatmeal with dried cherries and almond butter. I definitely do the breakfast-for-dinner thing with cereal or granola. So satisfying + easy + easy to clean up!

Lately I'm loving egg scrambles with veggies...onions, peppers, Swiss chard...topped with tons of hot sauce! But I do love a good French toast too, especially on Sunday after a fun Saturday night ;-)

I'm indecisive so I make everything bowls! Usually a base of hot oatmeal or mixed grain cereal made with soymilk and then topped with granola, more nuts than anyone should eat in one sitting, dried fruit, banana, berries, and whatever else I have, sometimes coconut, sometimes pb and yogurt, etc. Love breakfast :)
Chuck

My favorite breakfast is a mix of regular cereal and granola. But instead of just plain milk, I use milk or water mixed with chocolate or vanilla protein power. This comes out much thicker than milk and is delicious over the cereal!
