I usually allow myself approximately10-15 minutes to eat breakfast.  Although cereal is still the easiest its not always the best choice.  Cereal is packed with so much junk that we think it is actually good for us.  I absolutely love cereal and only stick to two kinds.  Kashi with fiber or Special K.  I did want to share another one of my simple recipes with you as I now have been a beachbody coach for 3 years.  I typically workout in the morning and it is challenging to use a blender without waking my children.  I usually save the blending for the  weekend as you never want to wake a child.  If you have little ones and can make it fun for them to make they are more likely to eat it.  My daughter and son always fight to be able to push the buttons on my Vitamix.  So below is a simple way to make a lot of yogurt in a short amount of time.  If you would like some more p90X meal ideas then click here.

Strawberry Yogurt 

Ingredients:

1 cup cottage cheese 2 tbs. heavy cream3

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

You don’t have to shell out the big bucks at Godiva® to make it a romantic evening with your sweetie.  All you need is a microwave (or a double boiler), some dark chocolate (70% to 85% cacao solids), some strawberries, and some love. And if there’s a better way to show your love than with these two great sources of antioxidants, I’d like to hear it. In fact, if you’re single, this is a much better way to love yourself than with that pint of Ben and Jerry’s®

• 1 dark chocolate bar (3 oz.), 70% to 85% cacao solids(Not Cheap but worth it)
• 1 pint large strawberries (about a dozen)

Microwave chocolate in microwave-safe bowl, or melt in double boiler on stove.  Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate to lightly coat. Set aside on plate or wax paper to cool.  When chocolate has hardened, serve (or if you can’t wait, dip and eat, and call it chocolate fondue!).  Serves 2.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Nutritional information (per serving):

It’s weird because I don’t feel guilty when I know that I’m getting a good amount of protein and fiber out of chocolate covered strawberries.   Don’t eat these
