The American breakfast landscape is quickly changing - approximately 80 percent of Americans eat breakfast at home and are on the search for healthier meal options to replace once-popular sugary cereals and juices (NPD Group).
“Making time for a healthy breakfast is a delicious way to jump-start a busy day,” said Beth Nielsen, Chief Culinary Officer of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, Inc. “Adding a splash of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas to nutritious morning meals is a great way to impart additional flavor without the extra calories and excess sugar.”
The following tips from Nielsen-Massey Vanillas are simple methods for enhancing the flavor of breakfast staples while maintaining the healthy profile of the original:
* Add a splash of Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract to a pot of oatmeal for subtle richness and smooth vanilla flavor.
* Measure a teaspoon of Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract and blend into smoothies to mellow acidic fruits.
* Sprinkle a pinch of Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Powder in daily cups of coffee for an all-natural flavor alternative.
Yields 4 cups
4 cups whole milk (may substitute with 2% milk)
2½ tablespoons amber agave syrup (nectar)
2 teaspoons Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract

¼ teaspoon salt
1½ cups old fashioned oats
2 tablespoons white chia seeds
⅓ cup dried wild blueberries
1 pint fresh blueberries, rinsed
