Skip the cold OJ and instead get your morning vitamin C from sweet oranges combined with creamy, comforting polenta. Thick Greek yogurt pumps up the protein.

Directions
- Combine water, milk, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk in polenta and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and whisk until polenta thickens, 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for at least 5 minutes.
- Zest orange to yield 1 teaspoon; then peel orange and dice sections. In a small bowl, combine zest, orange pieces, yogurt, and 1 tablespoon honey. (This step can be done the night before.)
- Stir remaining honey or agave into polenta and divide into bowls. Top with orange-yogurt mixture and sprinkle with pistachios.

In marketing natural products in the food service industry, we have gone out of our way to define natural as we all did years ago in the natural products industry. No artificial flavors, colors, minimally processed, no preservatives and now, non-GMO. I vote to maintain natural as a certification that our industry supports and defines.
