Yummy Breakfast from the Biggest Loser Cookbook

I am all about finding new recipes and trying them out all the time, because I simply don't like having the same thing all the time. I know that a lot of people eat the same foods all the day out of convenience, but I've never been able to sustain that for long without getting bored, even if it is my favorite foods. :blushing:

So I finally went out and got the Biggest Loser cookbook (well, one of them...I actually found 3 different ones, so I just grabbed one, lol). I picked out some things that looked good and decided to give them a try this week.

This morning I tried the Boston Cream Peanut Butter Banana Split for breakfast. And I am sooo addicted to it now! I will definitely be having it more often. The ingredients are:

1 banana
1 tablespoon peanut butter (the recipe says low fat, but I used whole fat but natural)
2 ounces of low fat Boston Cream pie flavored yogurt (I measured this with my food scale, but it is about 1/3 of a cup)
2 tablespoons of crunchy high fiber cereal (the book suggests Grape Nuts, which is what I used)

Cur the banana in half long ways and spread the peanut butter on the flat sides. Spoon the yogurt on top of that, and then sprinkle the cereal on top.

It is soooo good! I always enter the calorie value into the recipe function here on MFP to get a better idea of calories using my particular brands of foods instead of trusting cookbooks, and for one serving it comes out to:

286 calories
49 g carbs
8 g fat (1.5 g saturated)
9 g protein

It gave me lots of energy and kept me satisfied. It is always good for me to chew my breakfast, because shakes never satisfy me completely. I hope you guys try it cause it is so good!!!
