In the hush of early morning, the flickering of candlelight offers a gentle welcome to the day, alongside a nourishing selection of breakfast fare developed to support wellness in the New Year.
Orange-Pistachio Oat Squares
Sweetened with honey and brought together by olive oil, our satisfying Orange-Pistachio Oat Squares combine nuts, old-fashioned rolled oats, coconut flakes, orange zest, and salt to create a flavorful breakfast option that can be enjoyed throughout the day. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt adds the final flourish to this tasty treat.
Mental Clarity Tea
Owing its name to the addition of ginkgo biloba leaves, said to sharpen acuity by increasing blood circulation, Mental Clarity Tea steeps the English Breakfast blend with healthful additions such as a cinnamon stick. Milk and coconut sugar fill the cup with comfort.
Pomegranate-Coconut Açaí Bowl
Artfully arranging the toppings in our Pomegranate-Coconut Açaí Bowl adds to the enjoyment of sampling the medley. We begin with a blended mixture of frozen açaí purée, frozen bananas, coconut milk, and yogurt. Spooned into a serving dish, the refreshing mixture reaches perfection with coconut flakes, fresh fruit, and chia seeds.
Hibiscus-Ginger Tea
For a warm and fragrant beverage, prepare Hibiscus-Ginger Tea, an infusion that owes its ruby hue to the calyxes of the showy flower.
Almond Granola
Vanilla bean paste and ground cinnamon flavor our tantalizing Almond Granola, with dried cherries and apricots complementing nut and oat. Such tasty specialties offer ideal accompaniments to reading, dreaming, and watching the sunrise.
