I eat this breakfast nearly every morning. It can be changed up, but it is just the thing to get me going. An apple is a wonderful way to get your digestive system going, the raisins are wonderful sources of iron, and the nuts give me the protein boost I need until lunch.

I was just combining fruit that I had lying around to tide me over til my usual Sunday morning food shopping. It turned out to be an excellent smoothie combo that I'll be making very frequently!! It's nice and warm, too, which I always love with my smoothies.

This is a quick and easy and very satisfying breakfast that'll stick with you for awhile. I was eating raw oatmeal, but it often has a bitterish aftertaste. I think this is better and buckwheat groats are easier to obtain than raw oatmeal.
