These Superfood Breakfast Bites Will Transform Your Mornings

Most mornings, Rachel Mansfield (the brains behind the healthy treats-heavy Instagram account @rachlmansfield) can be found in her light-filled New York City studio experimenting with oat flour, almond butter, and maple syrup. It is, indeed, a sweet life.

So we teamed up with Amazing Grass to take you inside. In the tips-packed video above, Mansfield spills the details of her morning routine, including a genius eyebrow-taming trick, a simple happiness hack, and her go-to breakfast for a quick, nutrition-packed bite.

The key ingredient? Chocolate Amazing Grass Green Superfood, filled with nutrient-dense greens (wheat grass is the star) and nutritious fruits and veggies. "It gives me a ton of the superfood greens like wheat grass, spirulina, and chlorella—not to mention pineapple, açaí, beets, and carrots—but all the chocolate flavor I really crave," Mansfield says.

Take a peek inside her succulent-filled NYC pad (with views of the Statue of Liberty!) to see a play-by-play of all the healthy-baking action.
