I'm a huge believer that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If I don't eat a huge protein packed meal in the morning I'm hungry within the hour. It keeps me moving and ready to tackle whatever challenges I have to face that day.
I've recently been adding a ton of protein and healthy fats to my oatmeal and it's made a huge difference. I'm full for way longer and feel more energized and complete. There are so many flavor combinations you can try to keep it interesting. I have been sticking to my normal mixture lately, but it's fun to mix it up every once in a while.
What you'll need:
1/2 cup oats (I used the gluten-free kind from Trader Joe's)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk of your choice (I used almond milk)
1 heaping tablespoon of peanut butter or any nut butter of your choice
1 teaspoon flax seeds
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 scoop protein powder (I used vanilla egg white protein)
Any other mix ins you'd like such as bananas, nuts, berries, raisins, etc.
What to do:
Combine the 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 2-2 1/2 minutes
Stir mixture to combine and let sit for a minute
Add your peanut butter, flax seeds, chia seeds, protein powder and any other fruits or nuts and stir to combine
Enjoy!
This breakfast has been such a staple for me over these chilly winter months. I look forward to it every morning and love how great I feel after!
