Because it's Monday.
And because I have never before been more thankful for the amazing readers of Espresso and Cream.
And because I can't get enough of all the tasty treats there are out there to try....
I'm giving away three Foodzie Tasting Boxes! Last month, as part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher program, I had the opportunity to get a Foodzie box sent to me to sample. Honestly, I think it was one of the funnest things that happened to me that week. Maybe that sounds strange, but the box was filled with all sorts of unique and tasty samples of different food products I wouldn't normally have gotten the chance to try had I not received the box. In my box, there were a couple packets of fancy sea salts, caramel-filled sandwich cookies, iced tea packets, and a whole bunch of other yummy goodies I scarfed down within the week.
Foodzie offers a bunch of different products that make great gifts, from small snack-type items like crackers and artisan cheese to unique chocolates and mouth-watering candies. Personally, I've got my eye on the membership that sends you a tasting box every month for a year. :)
Now, it's your turn! To enter, leave a comment below telling me your favorite summer breakfast by Wednesday, June 29, at 10 p.m. If you're anything like me, you pick a favorite breakfast and stick with it throughout the warm months. Last summer I ate a bowl of Greek yogurt with frozen mixed berries, cereal and peanut butter every. single. day. This summer, it's been all about the thick, creamy smoothies with a piece of peanut butter toast.
Winners will be announced on Thursday!

Smoothies for sure, either in cup or bowl form! My favorite combo is a frozen banana, blueberries, chocolate protein, almond milk and spinach.
Oooh fun!
I do a smoothie: ice cold water, frozen banana, scoop of almond butter & a few drops of almond extract.
Have you ever made summer iced coffee with a splash of freshly squeezed orange or lemon juice? It's subtle, you don't taste citrus. It just enhances the citrus-y notes in the coffee.
Thanks for the fun giveaway! :)
Definitely protein smoothies! I switch up the kinds of fruit that I use, but they always have Greek yogurt and protein powder, and usually spinach leaves too!
So glad you picked summer breakfast, since it's my favorite meal of the day! Right now I'm loving whole wheat English muffins, one side spread with peanut butter and the other side with these awesome strawberry-rhubarb preserves I was gifted. And a scrambled egg white on the side for some protein! Yumyum. It definitely sends me out the door ready for work. :)
I just like to enjoy a granola bar or some fruit in the morning.
Iced Coffee and banana bread! Great giveaway :)
I'm a big fan of greek yoghurt with homemade granola stirred in for breakfast. The creaminess of the yoghurt and the crunchiness of the granola is an awesome combination.
i'm obsessed with overnight oats: oatmeal, any type of nut butter, a drop of jam, coconut, and honey. in the winter, i'll just make the warm the morning of. :)
My favorite summer breakfast is scrambled eggs with fresh tomato from the garden.
My favorite summer breakfast (or any season really!) is any kind of cereal! Bananas, blueberries, strawberries, peaches....any fruit will do :)

Breakfast cookie! The Fitnessista makes a delightful, yet healthy version of the cookie.
I rotate between eggs and bacon or a protein shake, depends on if I'm running late or not!
My favorite summer breakfast has been mixed fruit over greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey. It's a perfect pick me up in the morning!
Lately I've been eating a piece of rye toast with raspberry jam and plain Greek yogurt (sweetened with a bit of Spenda) and some grain puffs. Delicious and satisfying! On other days, I have a bowl of TJ's High Fiber O's and milk...so yummy!
A whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter and banana or a homemade cranberry orange scone, and always a glass of Oregon Chai!
A piece of whole wheat toast with a squirt of ranch dressing, and a fat slice of garden tomato sprinkled with salt and pepper :)

Any other ideas?
My favorite/ only breakfast I have eaten this summer is a bowl of greek yogurt with old fashioned oats, almonds or walnuts depending on my mood, flax seed, the fresh fruit that is in the fridge that morning and last but not least farmers market honey to sweeten everything up!! (its also wonderful for my allergies) I cant wait to go to bed so I can wake up to this breakfast every morning. Weird cravings I know!
Favorite summer breakfast this year is yogurt with fruit and homemade granola and then a graham cracker with peanut butter! I can't get enough of it!
Hmm my favorite would have to be a prosciutto breakfast sandwich on sourdough and an iced coffee! Perfection!
I've heard of other bloggers talking about Foodzie and it looks like so much fun! I would love to try a box out :) My favorite summer breakfast.. Or at least my favorite for the last couple weeks has been a green smoothie with spinach, a banana and whatever fruit is in the freezer like cherries, raspberries or blueberries. Yum!
My favorite summer (or any season) breakfast is my grandmother's homemade pancakes. They are the best pancakes I've ever eaten.
I'm not just sucking up... we actually have the same favorite summer breakfast of PB toast and smoothie! But if you're looking for suggestions, another favorite is chocolate unsweetened almond milk with rice cereal, fresh pineapple, and almond butter.

I think my favorite summer breakfast is a smoothie because it is so refreshing on these hot days! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I'm not a huge breakfast person (I am working on it though :)) ... in the summer my favorite item would be a smoothie made from coconut milk, whey protein, a banana, and some frozen tropical fruit
greek yogurt with berries and my mom's granola can never be beat! :) that, or her buttermilk pancakes!

An iced coffee, a buttery pastry of sorts, and a handful of fresh berries make up my favorite summer breakfast. All eaten outside on the porch while catching up on blog reading!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Cant get enough of fruit smoothies. Always with a side of iced coffee!
Summer is usually a go between of overnight oats and cereal with fresh fruit. I am addicted to cold breadfasts at the moment :)

And a box of goodies, delivered once a month?! Yes please!
I love having a smoothie bowl with a side of blueberries and strawberries! Yum!!

Ohh fun giveaway! Favorite summer breakfast has to be a green smoothie with yummy seasonal fruit like peaches or nectarines.

Sometimes not even a tantalizing breakfast can fight off a case of the mondays...but it looks like the goodies in those foodzie boxes might be able to! My fave breakfast is cracked wheat sourdough spread with thick yogurt and a swirl of honey to top it off.
Every day I've been making overnight oats before I go to bed: oatmeal, plain yogurt, some 1% milk, and a sliced banana. It's all ready when I wake up!
Grapefuit, sprinkled with sunflower and pumkin seeds, and wholewheat toast with butter, marmalade and cheese! And coffee, can't forget the coffee!
I have been having the strawberry streusal or banana muffin with fruit and tea. Can't wait to see what lowfat muffin is next.Yummy.
Can't give up my Chai Tea, even for the summer, and toast or french toast. Not very healthy!
buckwheat pancakes and fruit :)
My daughter and I have been making smoothies nonstop this summer. I even started adding a handful of spinach (thanks to you) to it. At first, she objected but now she reminds me to do it (she's 5).
I absolutely love fresh fruit for breakfast and on special occasions the kids love some homemade cinnamon rolls (any chance you have a recipe for a healthier version??) =)
Definitely smoothies! I can't get enough of them and love eating them out of a bowl with a granola topping.
I'm obsessed with cereal and ice cold milk this summer. It's a nice break from my usual bowl of oats in the colder months.
mmm right now I'm on a homemade strawberries and cream oatmeal kick. even though it's a little warm in the mornings, i let it cool for a bit in the fridge. also, when i run out of strawberries for the week, i then drink my avocado-banana smoothie. so yummy :)
My favorite summer breakfast is peaches with crumbled cinnamon granola and super cold soy milk.
Cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese (and maybe some strawberry jelly as well).
My favorite summer breakfast is vanilla yogurt, strawberries, and granola. :)
I love making smoothies as I am rushing out the door in the morning. A good mix of frozen berries, orange juice, greek yogurt and orange juice! Also- on the weeks I make banana bread, a slice of that is prefect as well! :)
My favorite summer breakfast is a toss up between Greek Yogurt, Berries and Granola or Smoothies!!

Super fun giveaway! I so want to win!!
My favourite summer breakfast would be bagle, cream cheese and smoked salmon - eating it on my deck with a cup of coffee and a mimosa!
That would be bliss!
Lately it has been an english muffin with almond butter and fresh berries on the side.
Wow- talk about generous! I have a serious greek yogurt, granola, and berry addiction so I often have that for breakfast during the summer months. But I've read a lot about smoothies lately, so I'm thinking of incorporating those into my diet too.
I am obsessed with my parfait bowls/mugs right now. Some yogurt, raw oats, fiber w/ flax bran, a little protein powder, berries and melted almond butter on top! It's delicious and keeps me full til lunch!
Faaavorite summer breakfast has to be muffins with fresh blueberries. yum!
Lately I've been loving cereal with fresh berries. I add a scoop of protein powder to the milk for staying power!
Right now I am stuck on greek yogurt and fresh fruit. Sometimes I do toss some chocolate chips on top. And I have started to make my own almond milk vs buying it so a cold glass of it is great in the mornings.
My favourite summer breakfast is a giant yogurt and granola parfait with summer fresh berries, all layered up in a pretty glass! Or a big bowl of cereal with ice cold milk! Both are awesome first thing in the morning.
So, this isn't a breakfast I eat everyday...nor is it healthy...but it's so good! Once a summer, usually 4th of July weekend while visiting my parents' lake house, my mother makes a delicious fresh blueberry french toast casserole. The syrup is also homemade and packed with fresh blueberries. I enjoy it with an ice cold glass of milk. It's such a treat and I look forward to it every summer.
My favorite breakfast that I started eating last summer was oatmeal, cooked on the stove. My NEW favorite breakfast is oatmeal, with peanut butter and honey swirled in.
I would have to agree with the yogurt, berries and granola combination as my favourite summer breakfast...especially when I can get local or freshly-picked berries!
I've been loving a fried egg on a toast with melted cheddar cheese....
i have never commented on your blog before but i read it all the time because your such an inspiration to me!
my favorite summer breakfast is between a fried dippn egg with cilantro, pepperjack, roasted pepper and avocado on an english muffin
