Great breakfast for YOUR WHOLE FAMILY! :) OATMEAL!!! The mix of nutrients in oatmeal is exactly what you need in the morning to wake up and take on the day as it provides you with the healthy fats for your mental focus; the fiber to keep you full for a longer period of time; the vitamin B to give you a boost in energy and calm the stress, and vitamin K to keep your strong and on your feet. Here is one of my favorite overnight oatmeal recipes. Hit SHARE if you want to save this to your timeline to make later. Banana Overnight Protein Oats, Servings: 2 Ingredients: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 1 banana 1 cup old fashioned oats (or gluten-free rolled oats) 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein (I use an all natural whey protein isolate) 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I used 1/2 it was perfect in my opinion) 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon zero calorie sweetener (I used Xylitol) Directions: Mash up 1/2 of your banana in a bowl. Then add in all other ingredients except the other half of the banana. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Cut the rest of the 1/2 banana into small pieces and then mix in. Place the oats in a container (I use mason jars) to sit overnight in fridge and soak up all the liquids. Microwave before serving for 20-30 seconds or eat it cold in the morning. Optional: Top with your favorite nuts or seeds and/or top with additional berries of your choice. Walnuts go GREAT with this. Approximate calories per serving: 275-300 based on the protein that you use.
