Well, what I do is, um, I start, it's always good if it's breakfast, you can get a lot of them in. So that would be, you generally have a full fat Greek yogurt.

Each type of seed, you can find all kinds of these things. So that's an easy way. And you add a few frozen berries in there. You've got 10 to 12 plants on a Monday morning. That's pretty good.
