Are you looking for a super quick breakfast recipe? A breakfast that takes less than 5 minutes to make, is packed full of protein, and costs less than $1? Can I get a HEALTH YEAH!
Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfast staples, for so many reasons. Oats are full of fiber to keep you full all day, so you don’t get the early afternoon munchies. Oats also contain several micronutrients such as manganese, selenium, phosphorus, fiber, magnesium, and zinc.
And, not to mention, oats are dirt cheap! You can get a huge tub for like $5. Talk about affordable meals. Oh, and if you get the quick-cook kind, you just need a minute or two in the microwave and bam, you’re ready for the day.
All you have to do is keep these ingredients around the house, and you can whip up a super healthy breakfast for under a dollar in under 5 minutes. No more excuses for having just coffee in the morning, you can fill your belly all morning long with healthy whole foods with the push of a microwave button. You can even blend all the ingredients for a thick breakfast smoothie instead.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 large banana
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 3/4 cup milk and/or water
Step 1: Cut or mash the banana in a bowl. Add the oats and cocoa powder (more if you really want it chocolatey!), and then add the water and/or milk. Add slightly more or less depending on the consistency you want.
Step 2: Microwave for 1 – 2 minutes, give it a good stir. Add more liquid if needed, or another sprinkle of cocoa on top. Breathe in the delicious cocoa smells, and dig in!
This is almost Elvis worthy. All it’s missing is some bacon to be a breakfast fit for the King. But that seems like a little bit too far… but if you want to try it out, rock it. And let me know how it goes!
