Crunch Time Oats & Berries

Did you wake up late?
Rushed for time getting the kids off to school?
Never eat breakfast and you want to start? (smart move!)
Or are you just plain lazy and want something for the morning that is fast and easy :-)
Check this little quick morning fix out.




1 serving Men / 2 servings Ladies

1 cup Large Leaf oats (dry measure)
70g wild frozen blueberries
1 scoop Protein Powder
1 tbsp Maranatha Nut butter

- Cook oats in a 2:1 ratio - 2 cup water, 1 cup oats.
(crunched for time, do this the night before and warm up on the stove)
- First take oats of the stove, place oats in your bowl and add in the maranatha almond butter while oats are still hot to help melt the butter
- now take 1/2 cup aka 70grams wild frozen blueberries (I just know the measurement)
(I use these berries because they are cheaper, smaller berry, year round, and cold to help cool off the oats to eat in a rush)
- add in 1 scoop any flavour protein powder (I love Banana flavour by Optimum Nutrition)
(the frozen blueberries will help with the consistency of the dry powder mix while they defrost...add a touch of water if you want)
- bam your ready to eat!
- if the oats are made the night before, this meal takes maybe 3min to make
- yes some of you will want to use the microwave, this will save you time for sure, but please read up on the damage a microwave can do to YOU and your FOOD.
