Muscle Meal

I have said it before and I will say it again: breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  In this video post I’m going to share with you one of my favorite quick and easy breakfasts.  If you like apple crisp then you will love this and the best part is it’s totally good for you.  Before I get to the recipe I want you to think about food for what it is.  It is nutrition for our bodies to grow, heal, produce energy, fight off germs, etc, etc….  You are what you eat.  If you want to be healthy then eat healthy.

Something that is ingrained in us from childhood is that certain foods are for breakfast and certain foods are for lunch and supper.  I totally fall into this mindset.  There is no reason why you can’t eat chicken and rice for breakfast and eggs or wheat pancakes for dinner.  Remember food is just fuel for the body.  I admit this muscle meal recipe that I am sharing with you is one I typically eat for breakfast.  OK, here is the muscle meal recipe and it is approximates because I usually just eyeball amounts.

1/2-1 cup of organic rolled oats

1 apple

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2-1 cup of water

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder

1/4 cup of organic milk

Tablespoon of honey (optional-usually if not using protein powder)

Handful of raisins (optional)

Just follow the directions in the video!

Obviously, you can opt not to use certain ingredients or add others to your liking.  Really any fruit works great in this.  If using a different fruit I would recommend probably not using the cinnamon.  Another option for a sweetener would be organic stevia or agave nectar.  These come from cactus like plants and can be found at most health food stores.  These taste great and are an excellent substitute for sugar.

I hope you enjoy this.  If you have any quick and easy recipes you want to share; please post them in the comments section for all to benefit from.

To your health,
