So when I came across the recipe online, I OBVIOUSLY had to share it for a few reasons:
1) Breakfast is SUPER important to health, weight loss, and just being a happier person-- it breaks the fast (see what's happening there?) that your body is on while you are sleeping, it kickstarts your metabolism, and it starts your day off on a good note with food! I mean, who doesn't love food?!
2) We are all busy for some reason or another. So if we can figure out hacks to make our day a LITTLE bit easier, why not do it?
3) Getting your day started with a healthy treat sets you up for a successful day!
And the recipe below is just PACKED with goodness: Oatmeal is high in soluble fiber (aids in digestion and metabolizing carbs), helps lower LDL cholesterol and, in turn, improves heart health and regular blood sugar, and is high in magnesium (aids in processing calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K successfully). Add in some bananas for potassium, berries for phytonutrients and antioxidants (and such), and an egg for some protein, and you’ve got one awesome breakfast to get you started right.
In any case, here's the recipe:
