Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day and can make a huge impact on your day, and even your overall health. So here we have a few breakfast recipes for you that will make your taste buds dance.
1. NO BAKE COOKIE OATMEAL
*Makes 1 serving (PB)
Warm, comforting, and yummy!
TIP: You also can prepare this in the microwave. Microwave the first two ingredients for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, and let sit for about a minute before stirring in the nut butter, protein powder, and maple syrup.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (40 grams) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk
- 2 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (or 1 tbsp cacao)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Directions
- Combine the oatmeal and oat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the oatmeal reaches your desired level of tenderness.
- Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Stir in the other ingredients. If the mixture is thicker than you enjoy, add a little more oat milk.
- Enjoy!
2. Maple Cinnamon Quinoa Bowl
*Makes 1 serving (PB)
Quinoa usually isn’t the first grain that pops into mind when it comes to breakfast, but its high protein content (as well as its texture) makes it a good choice. Each cooked cup contains 8 grams of protein, while the same amount of oatmeal contains 6 grams.
Meal prep tip: Cook up a batch of quinoa ahead of time and keep it in your fridge so it’s ready to go!
Quinoa tips: Rinse quinoa well before cooking, especially if you are going to be feeding it to picky eaters. It helps eliminate that distinctive quinoa taste.
If you have a rice cooker, use it to prepare your quinoa. It’s a foolproof way to get the perfect texture!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (90 grams) cooked quinoa
- ½ cup (120 grams) oat milk
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional, sweeten to taste)
- 2 tbsp raisins
Directions
- Prepare quinoa according to package directions.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Enjoy!
3. Homemade Protein Pancake Mix
*Makes 4 servings (PB, MP)
Healthy pancakes for breakfast? Yes please! Making your own mix at home can save you € € € plus you can feel good about the ingredients.
Protein Pancake Mix Ingredients
- 2½ cups (200 grams) rolled oats
- ½ cup (125 grams) plain or vanilla casein protein powder
- ¼ cup (50 grams) coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
To Make The Mix
- Place the rolled oats in a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse until finely ground.
- Place all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well before transferring to a mason jar or other airtight container to store until ready to use!
To Make The Pancakes (1 Serving)
- Pour ¾ cup (about 100 grams) of the mix into a mixing bowl and add ¼ cup (60 ml) of liquid (water, milk, etc.). Stir well until it reaches pancake batter consistency.
- You might need to add a little more liquid depending on your protein powder. Using a tablespoon at a time, add just enough to create a fairly thick batter.
- Stir in your mix-ins (berries, nuts, etc.).
- Over medium heat, heat a frying pan that’s been coated with oil. When it’s hot, add the batter to form your desired size of pancake.
- Cover the pan and cook for a couple minutes, keeping a close eye on it. When the edges start to turn brown, flip it over to cook on the other side.
- Place pancake(s) on a plate and top with your favourite toppings and enjoy!
TIP: You can use any kind of protein powder you want in this mix but we recommend Casein protein. Brown rice powder can be a good option for Vegans or those intolerant to casein. Brown rice powder will have a less earthy”health-food” taste.
