Here is what we are loving for breakfast!
Boulder Organic Coffee
The Peru blend from Boulder Organic Coffee is a delicious medium roast with hints of mild fruits, chocolate and nuts. This coffee is made with Fair Trade Arabica coffee beans and is 100% organic. It pairs well with almond milk, but is so delicious we like to drink it black! Boulder Organic Coffee roasts their beans on Thursdays and ships their coffee on Friday, so you know you’re getting the freshest coffee possible.

Sunsweet Dates
The pitted dates from Sunsweet are naturally sun ripened, delightfully moist, and are a good source of fiber. They can be enjoyed as a healthy snack or a flavor spark to your sweet or savory dishes. They make a great addition to a wide variety of recipes, mixed into granola or chopped and sprinkled on top of yogurt. Try them on top of the Kashi waffles and peanut butter for a scrumptious, healthy breakfast treat.

Sambazon Acai Berry
The acai berry is a superfruit due to its high levels of antioxidants (believed to protect cells from free radicals), healthy omegas, and amino acid. Sambazon makes an entire line of acai products. We are in love with their Acai Berry Pure Unsweetened Superfruit Packs, perfect for making acai bowls – one of our favorite breakfast/healthy snack staples.

The organic protein shakes from Svelte are delectable, nutritious shakes made with 11 grams of protein. They are gluten- and dairy-free (made with fresh, organic soymilk) and contain complex carbohydrates to give you lasting energy. Offered in scrumptious flavors like french vanilla, chocolate, cappuccino, spiced chai, and banana creme. Yummmm!
