A Better Breakfast: Icelandic Skyr B-Fast Bowl

Ya’ll know I like to eat epic baon and eggs dishes for breakfast, and even on weekdays I’d be much more likely to grab a breakfast pastry than whip up a healthier breakfast. Perhaps I should say “had been more likely” as I’ve been experimenting with (gasp) healthy breakfasts lately. I know, I know, but I’m 35, with a kid on the way, and can’t eat baconbaconbacon every day forever. Lately my daily start has consisted of Greek yogurt mixed up with whatever fresh fruits and nuts I happen to have on hand. I also love to mix it up with some Skyr — Iceland’s thick, creamy answer to yogurt — it has just the right consistency. So, if you’re hankering for a healthier start to your days, try this recipe from Icelandic Provisions Skyr. Also, if you’re feeling sad and betrayed by this whole healthy thing, let me just point out now that this recipe contains vodka. So there.
