I'm a guy that likes berries. Yes, they are pink and purple and red and really pretty, but who cares! There's something sexy about them. They taste amazing, they are incredibly supple and healthy, and they make for a perfect breakfast when mixed with some nuts, seeds, dried fruit and non-dairy yogurt. I've been trying to start my weekdays with something a bit lighter to keep my engine running smoothly, and this regimen has me feeling great!
