To save time in the morning, prepare the scone cake the day before. Just reheat a slice or two in the microwave! For the best mix of carbohydrate and protein, slice scones in half like a sandwich and spread with peanut butter or low-fat cheese. Serve with mango or papaya slices and a cup of Frothy ‘n Rich Hot Chocolate.
