Breakfast of Champions Recipe

Posted on by

A breakfast mixture that I created and have perfected over the last few years….I eat this for breakfast nearly everyday. 

Supplies Needed:

  1. Microwave Safe Bowl that can fit about 2 or 3 cups of water. 
  2. Measuring Spoons
  3. Regular Spoon and Butter Knife
  4. 1 Cup and ¼ Cup – Measuring Cups
  5. One Banana
  6. Steel Cut Oats
  7. Ground Flax Seed
  8. Whey Protein Powder – Vanilla Flavored
  9. Ground Cinnamon
  10. Water
  11. Smart Balance Chunky Peanut Butter

 Process:

  1. Pour One cup of water in the bowl.  Microwave on high for three minutes.
  2. Prepare ¼ cup of Steel Cut Oats and right when microwave ends, pour the oats in the boiling water.  Time is of the essence. 
  3. Let the oats and water sit for about 10 minutes.  The longer they sit the less watery the finished product.
  4. Remove from microwave.
  5. Add one Banana, sliced and chopped.
  6. Add Two Tablespoons of Ground Flax Seed.
  7. Add ½ scoop of Whey Protein Power.  This stuff is pretty high calorie, so I only use ½ scoop.  If you are weightlifting, etc. then maybe you should add more.  (When you buy the protein power they give you a plastic scoop.)
  8. Add a few generous shakes of Ground Cinnamon.
  9. Take the spoon and put some peanut butter on it, then use this spoon to stir everything up. 
  10. Enjoy. 

Notes: 

* Don’t have a banana? Here are some other things to try: Jam or Jelly, Blueberries, Raspberries, Peach, Orange.  The possibilities are endless or just forget the banana and use a little less water.     

* Waiting 10 minutes is a little painful, but it’s the best way to cook the oats without making a mess of your microwave. 

* If you start making this on a regular basis, let me know and I can give you the inside information on how to get the ingredients inexpensively. 

* The Smart Balance Chunky Peanut Butter is the best that I’ve been able to find.  I also like Almond Butter as an alternative choice. 

* If you leave the peel on half of the banana, then you can slice and chop it without a cutting board or getting your hands dirty.
