What I Had for Breakfast

I never used to like oatmeal, but now it has actually become one of my favorite breakfasts to have. It is quick, easy and very filling! Here's breakfast this morning:

• Plain oatmeal (not that sugary junk in the packets)

 

• Raisins
• Water Protein Shake (Water and whey protein)

 

•  2 cups of water

It's so quick and healthy you'll love yourself for doing it. Pour half a cup of the oatmeal into a bowl (trust me, 1/2 cup is plenty when it cooks). Then, fill up the oatmeal with water so that it covers the oatmeal and goes a little bit over it (add more or less depending on how thick you like your oatmeal). Put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Make sure you watch the oatmeal so that it doesn't bubble over the top! When it's done, then you add in a handful of raisins. I don't like to add in raisins before putting it in the microwave because for me, it just doesn't taste good and takes away some of the sweetness. If you want, add in some ground flax for some good fats. Viola! Good yummy food. If you're just starting add in a splenda packet or some other zero calorie sweetener, but try to grow out of it! Getting at least one raisin in every bite sweetens up the oatmeal a lot! Add in a protein shake if you need to get protein into each of your meals in a heavy dose but don't skip the two glasses of water! This also helps keep you full and hydrates your body well from getting dehydrated overnight.

What I Had for Breakfast

To day was a simple, yet still healthy breakfast! Here's what it was:

• Post Shredded Wheat Cereal

• SKIM Milk
• Handful of Raisins
• Water

That's it! But what?! Why? How? Well...Milk for protein, Shredded wheat for fiber with no sugar, raisins for some fruit, and water to hydrate myself! It all actually makes sense. I had 2 of those huge shredded wheat biscuits with a big bowl of milk, and also had a glass of milk on the side. After I finished the bowl and the glass, got a handful of raisins and drank a big glass of water with it. Simple, yet yummy!

But I hate boring cereal, can't I eat something else?
      No! This is some of the healthiest cereal out there that you can eat. The only ingredient is shredded wheat. As long as you eat it with milk your fine, the lactose will sweeten the cereal up just enough.
