BePure Berry Pilaf Recipe

Eating a whole food nutritious breakfast is a very important way to start your day.

We know mornings during the week can get a bit chaotic, forcing the kids out of bed, feeding them, packing their school lunches and getting them to school on time... So, on the weekend we really like to sit down, relax and indulge in a nutrient-dense, delicious breakfast treat. 

This recipe serves 2 is a great option for mixed or carb types. Protein types will need to increase their protein source - try doubling the yoghurt while halving the fruit. Alternatively, add a side of organic, free range bacon or two eggs. Take the BePure Macronutrient Profile Questionnaire to find out how to eat right for you.
