Quick & Easy Breakfast

Most mornings the last thing that I want to do is get up any earlier than I have to. So the ability to make something quick and easy for breakfast is very important. With every meal I try to get a good ratio of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. Making an oatmeal breakfast bowl is a simple way to combine these macronutrients into a satisfying and filling breakfast.


Ingredients:
1 packet instant oatmeal (I used Quaker Organic Maple & Brown Sugar)
Small amount milk (for preparing the oatmeal, I use Unsweetened Almond Milk)
1 banana
1 tablespoon creamy almond butter
1 tablespoon plain granola (I used Back to Nature Classic Granola)


Combine the almond milk with the oatmeal and microwave for the directed time, while it is cooking slice the banana. About three quarters of the way through the microwave time add the banana and almond butter to the oatmeal, mix it together, and finish microwaving. Once finished, add the granola and mix everything one more time. 

This only takes about five minutes and it is delicious! The nutrition info is about 370 calories per bowl, 9g fat, 65g carbohydrates, 13g protein.
