Mirelle Guiliano’s French Women Don’t Get Fat is a cult classic that reaffirmed many of the health and eating habits I picked up from my own mother as a child. Having grown up in France and lived in the U.S., the author advises readers of a few rules I’ve always lived by including drinking lots of water, eating a wide variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and treating yourself to small amounts of high quality indulgences (like chocolate and wine) instead of depriving your cravings.

The book features some easy-to-make, healthy recipes that are fillings, satisfying and actually taste great. The “Magical Breakfast Cream” is my favorite recipe from the book and replaces my go-to oatmeal when the weather warms each summer.

Prep Time: 10 minutes Servings: 1

  • 1/3 Cup Yogurt

  • 1 Teaspoon Flaxseed Oil

  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

  • 1 Teaspoon Honey

  • 2 Tablespoons Finely Ground Cereal (No added sugar, I use Shredded Wheat)

  • 2 Teaspoons Finely Ground Walnuts

Add each ingredient one at a time to your bowl, mixing well between addition to get a smooth, creamy texture. Start with yogurt before stirring in oil, lemon juice and honey. Add ground walnuts and cereal to the yogurt mixture and stir well. Serve immediately.

Note: I like to grind the cereal and walnuts in a small food processor and store a week’s worth of the ground cereal/nut mixture in the fridge so I only have to mix ingredients together in the morning.
