Scones
Scones are a great 'to go' breakfast option!...It's even a great after school/work snack option. Instead of buying granola bars, eat 1/2 or a whole scone and it'll keep you full. It's a great way of getting a daily dose of nuts in. The original recipe from Mom Desai doesn't call for chocolate chips but I add them just to make it more yummy.

Prepare these scones even more healthier by making a few swaps. It will probably be drier but the difference is work the heath benefits
