Organic vegan yogurt is not only an easy breakfast plan, it’s highly stackable. It rocks nuts and berries, coulis, seeds, superfoods, trail mix, and more.

Along with pancakes, I’m a huge fan of delicious Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (HTB) waffles. They’re a go-to breakfast idea and gut-healthy treat.

They’re also savory or sweet and rock tons of additions.
