Breakfast
The recipe:
1/2 cup rolled oats (40 grams)
1/2 of a banana, mashed (the riper, the better!)
1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
1-2 tsp of peanut butter.
I mashed the banana really well and added it to the water before boiling, this helps break it down better. Frozen and thawed nanas work great for this Added the oats and cocoa powder and cooked until done.
Topped with the peanut butter. Yummy!!_
Protein pancakes recipe
I have tried these twice now, and love them! When I look at the ingredients, they aren’t anything I would have thought about even trying several years ago, let alone liking them!!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of cottage cheese (1%)
1/3 cup of rolled oats
1/3 cup of egg substitute, or 1 egg + one white
dash of vanilla
dash of cinnamon
I do not use sweeteners, but most people probably would want to add some splenda or something to this.
Blend in a blender and cook like regular pancakes. You must blend this, otherwise the oats will be too chunky. The batter should be nice and smooth. Makes 3 big pancakes!
Lots of protein and fiber!
Granola with Yogurt and berries
1/2 cup of granola (150 calories or less per 1/2 cup)
1 cup chopped strawberries
1/2 cup greek style yogurt
1 tsp of honey
Mix the honey with the yogurt until incorporated. Fold in the berries and granola and enjoy! I prefer the Fage 2% yogurt, but you could use any type you like. Nature’s Place Ginger Zing or Hemp granola have only 140 calories per 1/2 cup.
1 Minute Muffin
Super, quick and easy breakfast or snack.
1/4 cup flax meal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1-1/2 tsp oil
Mix and microwave for 1 minute. We used a silicon large muffin cup. This was just like a muffin!
Variation: Pumpkin 1 Minute muffin
Substitute 2 tablespoons of canned pumpkin for the oil, and pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon. Microwave for 80 seconds. Top with cream cheese frosting. Yum! I think I liked this variation better than the original. More moist.
