13 Jun What I Eat for Breakfast

My Go to Breakfast

This bowl keeps me satisfied until lunch and my mood and energy stable all morning. I typically work out right when I get up in the morning fasted, just drinking water. Primarily because I enjoy starting my day this way and it eliminates me trying to figure out when I can fit it in later. I prefer a sweeter breakfast, so I really enjoy this combo. If you prefer something more savory that works too. This is what I help my nutrition clients identify for themselves. What they enjoy and what works best for their schedules. It’s so important that you enjoy what you are doing and it makes sense for you, that is how you will be able to sustain the habits you create!

Protein Oatmeal

• ½ cup old fashioned oats
• 2 tbs chia seeds
• about 3/4 cup water (depends on what consistency you prefer)
• cinnamon
• ¼ cup Greek yogurt
• ½ scoop whey protein powder
• ½ cup fruit

Add the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon and water to a bowl. Microwave for one minute and 50 seconds. Stir in protein powder, I typically do vanilla but will rotate in chocolate depending on the fruit I am using. I like Thorne whey protein, linked. Add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter and fruit. Fruit options are typically either berries, banana or chopped apple. If I don’t have any fresh, I will add in frozen berries. Frozen fruit is great in the colder months when there is less seasonly available fresh fruit. You can make this the night before and then heat in the morning. If you do this I would suggest waiting to add the peanut butter in the morning. I will just heat in the microwave for one minute so it is warm and then add toppings. If I have more time, I put it together in the morning!
