Essy's Breakfast Bowl
If you’ve ever wondered what fuels one of the most well-known advocates of plant-powered living, this breakfast bowl offers a glimpse.
Made with Rip's Big Bowl Cereal, plant milk, fruit, nuts, seeds, and a few pantry staples, this recipe comes together in minutes and delivers a satisfying mix of crunch, creaminess, and natural sweetness. Dr. Esselstyn’s favorite version includes bananas and berries, but you can easily make it your own with whatever fruit you have on hand.
Simple, filling, and built from everyday ingredients, it’s the kind of breakfast you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again.
