The Five Minute Protein-Packed Breakfast

September 23, 2015

If you have five minutes in the morning, you have enough time to make yourself a bowl of fluffy, filling and oh-so-tasty banana egg white oatmeal.

1 ripe banana
1/2 cup quick cooking oats (you may use regular oats, but the cooking time will be a little longer)
1/2 cup milk of your choice (I typically use almond milk)
3/4 cup liquid egg whites (I use egg whites from a carton to make them easy to measure and pour)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Peel and mash banana. Stir banana and remaining ingredients together in a medium-size bowl, with room at the top so the oats can “grow” in the microwave without overflowing. Microwave on high for three minutes, stirring after 75 seconds and then again every 30 to 45 seconds until three minutes are up. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy (my personal favorites are peanut butter, chopped almonds, fresh berries and pumpkin pie spice).Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy (my personal favorites are peanut butter, chopped almonds, fresh berries and pumpkin pie spice). Depending on the ripeness of the banana, you can add a drizzle of honey
