I normally harp on how important it is to eat small meals throughout the day . Something else that’s just as important is a good breakfast! I know how hard it is to squeeze in time for a bite in the morning, but I can’t stress enough how important it is. Why is breakfast so important? It kick starts your metabolism and gives you energy throughout the day. So make time to eat!
One of my favorites is oatmeal! With the right ingredients it’s a delicious concoction of fiber and protein- just what you need to start your day off right.
Ingredients
- Instant Oatmeal (I like Raw packets)
- If you’re not using Raw oatmeal, add 1 tbsp flax seeds
- Half an apple chopped
- 1/2 scoop Try About Time Cinnamon Swirl Protein Powder (use HAPPILYHUGHES for 25% off)
- 1 tbsp nut butter of choice
- Sprinkle cinnamon
- Hot water
Directions
- Soak oats in boiling hot water. I use my Keurig on the smallest cup setting and it’s the perfect amount for a packet of oatmeal. If you’re boiling water from a kettle, make sure to fill water to just above the oats. Add the protein powder and mix. Let sit for 1 minute.
- Add peanut butter, apples, and sprinkle cinnamon.
- Enjoy!
mmmm…that sounds delicious! I love apples and cinnamon in oatmeal, it's the perfect combo!
This looks so delicious! I love oatmeal and apples, so this recipe is perfect! Pinning!
I eat oatmeal everyday and love to have new varieties
Oatmeal is so filling! I definitely want to try this recipe. Sounds and looks delicious!
Yum! My daughter is going through an oatmeal phase right now, so I'm always looking for new ways to make it. Trying this tomorrow!
Oh man, I love homemade oatmeal. I used to eat the Quaker stuff, but it's far too sugary for me now. This looks like a perfect blend, and a great protein boost for breakfast! Pinned!
