Breakfast during the work week is often compromised by too little time. The truth is, I often fall prey to the drive thru at my local coffee shop, ordering a blueberry scone and a $7 latte, then I’m off to the Office. While that’s fun for a treat now and then, if it becomes a habit, it can become costly for my waistline and my wallet.
So this week, I’m enjoying the bounty of fresh berries that are in season now and were on sale at the grocery store (bonus!). I’ve got a quick and irresistible #recipe for the road, that you can enjoy on-the-go like me, or from a front porch swing on a lazy Saturday morning. You pick. I’m calling it “Sugar Berries with Fresh Mint,” and it’s as simple as it sounds to make and take.
A combination of blackberries, strawberries and blueberries come together with fresh mint and sugar for a fruitful morning treat.
Once I tossed everything together, I actually divided the contents of the bowl into three Rubbermaid containers for the perfect grab and go breakfast with a protein or granola bar. How good does that look? SOME KINDA GOOD if you ask me. 😉
Individual fruit bowls are a reason to rise from bed.
Sugar Berries with Fresh Mint
6 oz fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained
1/2 pint of fresh strawberries, rinsed, drained, hulled and sliced
1 pint of fresh blueberries, rinsed and drained
1 bunch of fresh mint, chopped
1/2 cup sugar, or to taste
Toss all the ingredients together in a bowl. The longer it sits, the better it gets! The added sugar combined with the natural sugars in the fruit form a delicious minty syrup. Cover and refrigerate. Enjoy!
