If you're like me, sometimes you get tired of the same old breakfast foods day after day. You are craving something new, but still want to stick to healthy, whole foods. As an added bonus, this recipe can be made the night before to help your morning run more smoothly!

It's free of refined sugar and paleo-friendly to boot!
