This is my go-to breakfast, especially after a hard workout! It’s packed full of protein to build muscle and keep you full—a perfect way to start your day 🙂
Oat Base
Keep in mind this is where the majority of your cooking time will take place, so if you know you get hungry in the morning and can’t wait long for food, check the cook time on your oatmeal packaging. For a quick cook, I suggest Quaker Quick Cooking Oats or you can use the microwave instead of stove—though my microwave oats always end up exploding😂 I personally prefer rolled oats for their texture, but steel cut work great, too.
This base is sweetened with mashed banana and vanilla greek yogurt, making it tasty enough to stand on its own. If you don’t like banana, feel free to omit that step—the oats will still taste amazing 🙂 Also, feel free to cook your oats with plant or regular milk instead of water if you want a thicker final product.
Toppings
AKA: the best part. In this recipe, you’ll find all of my favorite add-ons, like creamy peanut butter🤤 This brings in a nutty flavor to this breakfast as well as more protein! Another one is granola; this can be whatever flavor your heart desires, like honey or chocolate. Finally, top with fresh fruit! I like to use more banana here, but blueberries and strawberries are also a yummy option.
