Be creative for breakfast
This isn't necessarily a recipe post but more about switching things up. For breakfast I usually eat oats because... Well we need to eat our oats!! Haha. But!!! I forgot to make some overnight oats and my hot oatmeal wasn't sounding too great this morning. I was looking for something fresh now that the weather is heating up. I also recently bought Ezekiel bread because I wanted to see what all this fuss is about and how good a bread without flour would taste. Well let me tell you.... it is possible to make a good bread without flour. Hooray for that!!! Less carbs more protein sounds like it's right up my alley! Haha. The day before my friend had posted a picture of her muscle milk of the morning in a smoothie. That sounded pretty darn good to me, especially after an intense workout in the morning. Muscle milk was exactly what my arms needed after some Sculpt 30 from Turbo fire. Talk about building muscle!! Because I decided to have a smoothie I didn't want to top my toast with anything sweet. Protein! In that case eggs, scrambled liquid egg whites. Topped the my slice of toast with that and some chile. Had 1/4 cup of cantaloupe too meanwhile I put my breakfast together. 1 cup of frozen strawberries and 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries with water and 1 scoop of my light vanilla Creme muscle milk was what my protein smoothie consisted of. I really enjoyed this breakfast. It was simple because I just threw somethings together I had at home. It was a nice switch up to the usual breakfast. Every now and then we need to change things up to keep it interesting and most importantly our pallets interested. This also brings up another important thing. When up comes to clean eating the biggest help you can do to your success is properly stocking your fridge and pantry. When you only have good things in there it takes away temptation and it becomes easier to cook clean. Keeping it well stocked helps also when you forget to prep your meal in advance. Like in this case with my breakfast, forgot to make it the night before. But that didn't mean I was going to have to settle for something gross and fast or something unhealthy. I brainstormed a bit and whipped it up. I was able to do it because we already had it all. Trust me if we didn't I wasn't going to go to the store early in the morning after my workout just for that. This easy quick breakfast was only 357 calories, perfect!!
