Yummy PB Breakfast!

 

This yummy breakfast (or it could be a snack) was inspired by another trainer at my gym!  This is super easy, tasty, and can be prepared the night before so it's ready to go in the morning.  You can throw it in your lunch bag as a snack, and it would also make the perfect post work out snack!!  

You'll need: 

1/8 cup oatmeal (I used Quaker Perfect Portions Oatmeal (no sugar added) - Cinnamon

dash Stevia

1/2 scoop Vanilla Protein (I used Body Fortress)

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (nonfat)

1 tbsp natural Creamy Peanut Butter (I used Market Pantry)

Combine all ingredients in bowl (may need to add a few drops of water to help everything mix well).  Mix well.  Eat or refrigerate until breakfast or snack time! 

**Side note, you could also add a few dark chocolate chips to this for a decadent non-guilty treat!

Banana Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal

I've made a variation of this before.... But this time I tweaked it a bit.  Took out the berries .... added some protein powder.... and added some YUMMY dark chocolate chips.  Who wouldn't like this?  It's perfect if you want something sweet/pastry like for breakfast but don't want the guilt.  It's also a perfect snack -- and would make a great pre or post-workout snack!! 

1 medium banana - sliced

1 cup quick oats

dash salt (I used salt substitute for lower sodium)

1/2 tsp baking powder (I used Rumford low sodium)

1 egg

1 scoop vanilla protein

1 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk

1/2 tsp honey

3/4 tsp Truvia (or sweetener of choice)

1tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon

1tbsp chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 375.  Spray 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.  Place banana slices on bottom of baking dish in single layer.  Sprinkle with some cinnamon, and some 1/4 tsp Truvia.  Cover dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.  Combine dry ingredients (oatmeal, salt, baking powder, truvia, & cinnamon) in a dish.  In another dish, whisk together milk, honey, vanilla, & egg.   Pour oatmeal mixture over bananas.  Then pour milk mixture over oatmeal & bananas. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.  Bake 30 minutes, until oatmeal is set.
