    This is inspired me to try it with my quick oats so I just put this all in a jar:

    1/2 cup quick oats
    8 oz unsweetened almond milk
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 T PB2

    I really hope it turns out well with the quick oats and I also hope it tastes like the no-bake cookies I used to make as a kid! lol

    Just want to let everyone know while the flavor if my experiment was very yummy, it turned into oatmeal soup lol.... Probably too much liquid. But I still ate it. I added an oz of slivered almonds for crunch. You ready for the stats on this breakfast?
    550 cals, 46 grams protein, 24 grams of MONOunsaturated fat, 43 g carbs, 13 grams of fiber and only 300 mg of sodium.
    I imagine I will not be hungry again for a few hours lol

    Such a great breakfast!!

    I eat this stuff every morning, and have come up with some wonderful additions.....

    I always start with...
    1/3c oats of your choice (Im really liking the steel cut oats lately)
    1Tbsp ground flax seed,
    1/2 Tbsp chia seeds
    1/3c plain greek yogurt,
    1/3c almond milk
    1tsp brown sugar blend splenda (or honey sometimes)

    From there, I add whatever I am in the mood for, (or whatever I happen to have lying around at the time).

    If i want an extra boost of protein, I will add a scoop of protein powder.

    Some of my favourites additions are....
    -blueberry vanilla (1/4c blueberries and 1 tsp vanilla),
    -Choco banana (1/2 mashed banana and 1tsp cocoa powder)
    -Berry blend (1/2 c raspberries, sliced strawberries, and raspberries)
    -Apple cinnamon (1/2 an apple diced, and cooked in microwave for 1 minute, 1/2 tsp cinnamon)

    I tried them this morning for the first time. I didn't have chia seeds, so I put in a tablespoon of flax seed meal. I recently started going to the gym in the mornings, and it's been making me feel STARVING all morning/day. This totally fueled my workout, and beyond. Just had a protein shake after the gym, and was fine until lunch. Definite WIN!
