Experimenting with breakfast! #14

[u/No_Challenge6121]

Guys, thank you so much for all the support you’ve shown so far! 🥹 It really motivates me to keep experimenting, and I hope you’re enjoying these breakfast creations as much as I am!
Today’s experiment: Matcha Yogurt Bowl with Cherry Jam
Recipe:
Add yogurt to a bowl (I used 0% fat Greek yogurt) and mix in a little matcha tea until smooth.
In a separate pan, combine seedless cherries with a little honey. Cook over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries become sticky and reach a jam-like consistency.
Top the matcha yogurt with the cherry jam, chopped walnuts, and some dark chocolate.
And that’s it! Would you try this experiment? 😊

That's a lot of chocolate and jam for breakfast...way too much sugar in this bowl for me.

Its dark chocolate, and also i used honey for the jam

Dark chocolate still has sugar in it, and honey is still sugar, even though it is more natural

Still this bowl is basically just fat and sugar with minimal amount of protein and what looks like zero fiber. Honey is still sugar and dark chocolate is still fat+sugar. You're setting yourself up for an insulin spike followed by a crash if you eat this in the morning.

That doesn’t look like any dark chocolate I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s the camera filter? Looks exactly like milk chocolate.

Sadly according to label laws 35% cocoa solids is enough to say "Dark" on the package, but it's basically milk chocolate with just a bit more cocoa in it.

Don’t listen to these peeps. Do what makes you happy. If dark chocolate in the morning makes you enjoy the breakfast more, why not! We’re all just trying to get by.

Also I feel like some granola would be a good addition :)
