It's not even Bob Harper's oatmeal. No, I'm not cheating - exactly.
For breakfast I get oatmeal and five egg whites.
The oatmeal:
1 cup water
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 tbsp almond butter
dash of cinnamon
1/4 cup blueberries
Okay- now if you take THOSE ingredients but add two egg whites.
(Don't throw up. Hear me out.)
I put the water, almond butter, cinnamon and two egg whites in a dish. I mix it briskly with a fork to incorporate the eggs. I then add the oatmeal and whisk some more. When I'm feeling comfortable that everything is evenly mixed I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then I stir it. 30 more seconds, stir. Repeat this process until your oatmeal is done. Time will vary depending on how thick you like your oatmeal. I sprinkle with more cinnamon.
I am using frozen blueberries and I add them about half way through.
It makes a very creamy oatmeal and I don't feel like I need to add almond milk.
I really enjoy this oatmeal. To me it is dessert good.
Did I mention, I don't really like oatmeal. But I like THIS oatmeal.
I then scramble the three egg whites. Five egg whites on a plate is a daunting amount of egg whites. Three is more doable. (picture not included ;)
If you a contemplating the Jump Start know that there are many other things you can eat for breakfast but I'm sensitive to most grains. Oatmeal is the only one I've found I can tolerate, thus my daily oatmeal.
Five? I can't even manage one!
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy - but the protein keeps you full. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a really big fan of oatmeal, but I am glad that it works for you. It is definitely a great idea, adding the egg whites.
