One of the blogs I follow is fitnessista. She is gluten free, healthy eating, new mama. She makes her own recipes and manages to come up with some pretty delish finds. One thing I have done in the past is her breakfast cookie recipe. It was perfect for me this summer when I was working because I would just take it with me and eat it during my morning rush. It worked perfectly.
Now that we are working on cutting out sugar I have decided to bring this back. For me at least. ;) Yes, I realize I need to let me kiddo's enjoy the benefits, but for now, it's my little secret.
The recipe for this is HERE. It is right along the lines of the "real food" we've been trying to do. The add in's can get tricky if you aren't paying attention. I just made one and popped it in the refrigerator. Mine included oats, 1/4 scoop protein powder, 1/2 banana, almond butter, milk, and a small squirt of honey. I believe she used stevia and cinnamon, but I used a small dribble of honey. hmm... In the morning I will top it with the left over strawberries or blueberries that we have. In the past I have added in chocolate chips, but thought I better pass on those. Also I usually put applesauce instead of the banana. I'm feeling fiesty today so went with a banana.
If you try this let me know! I'm anxious to see what you add. What do you do for an easy and healthy breakfast?
