Breakfast On The Go!

First off, thank you all so much for your sweet comments about my last blog. Your feedback really is important to me, and it helps me to keep going knowing that there are people out there being blessed and inspired by my journey:) It also helps me to keep up the work when you all act as much cheerleaders:)

Now to the good stuff....FOOD:) I really want to include more recipes in my blog, so I'm bringing you one of my favourites....a smoothie recipe. I'm a sucker for creamy foods, especially milkshakes, so if I can fool myself into thinking I'm drinking one, that's a bonus:) This smoothie is great for breakfast, as it includes both fibre and protein, which I feel are the building blocks for the perfect breakfast.

For me, eating a good breakfast has been paramount in my weight loss journey. If I can fill up first thing in the day, I don't end up eating too much later. Since the new year, I've been back at work part time, and I'm finding mornings to be a bit of a scramble , getting myself and the kids ready and out the door. There have been a few days when breakfast has been a granola bar in the car on my way. This recipe is great because it's quick and you can have the ingredients ready ahead of time, so in the morning, you just have to dump it all into the blender and go:)



Oatmeal Protein Breakfast Shake

2 cups ground oatmeal (grind it up in the food processor...this can be done ahead of time)
2 cups low fat milk
1 scoop protein powder
fruit (I like banana, but you can really add any kind you want)
sprinkle of cinnamon to garnish
drizzle of honey to garnish

Throw the first 4 ingredients into the blender, and mix away. After you pour it into a glass, sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey.

Hope you like it! More recipes to come!
