Breakfast matters. It’s the most important meal of the day.

Are your taste buds getting mixed messages?

If the meal is so important, why eat the same cereal, the same toast, the same fruit every single breakfast.

Also important: nutrition. Cereal and toast are not the healthiest things to eat.

Nothing’s wrong with the fruit you’re currently enjoying at the break of day. But your taste buds do like diversity, which tropicals can deliver.

Before pulling on the snow boots, pull off an easy, great-tasting breakfast with the nutrition you’ll need to put your best foot – even when clad in a snow boot – forward this winter.

Oatmeal, the new breakfast pudding

And it couldn’t be easier. Refrigerator oatmeal “cooks” this breakfast overnight.

Scoop the oats, milk and yogurt into a container and-voila-you’ve got a creamy, almost pudding-like oatmeal the next morning.

Nice but add some tropical fruits and oatmeal takes on a dessert quality. Papaya, starfruit, coconut, passionfruit and even Uniq Fruit are excellent additions.

You’ll still want some sugar, but you won’t add as much. Tropical fruits amp up the sweetness quite naturally.

Don’t give up toast entirely

Just don’t smother the toast with butter.

Take a knife to this jam made with Caribbean Red papaya, and have at it. It’s made with honey, so it’s quick and easy to make with no preservatives and no canning process to endure.

Stay warm.

Yours in the tropics,
