Breakfast was some numminess.
(BTW, check out this funny blog post I read yesterday from Smoothie Girl regarding “nom nom” http://smoothiegirleatstoo.blogspot.com/2010/04/tiramisu-for-breakfast-nom-nom-nom.html)
What was breakfast, might you ask?
Well, it might be GREEN OATMEAL!
I was inspired by certain pictures:

So of course I made my own variation, based upon whims…and what I had in the house. Of course, my pictures (below) are not so beautiful, but whatevz.
I mixed:
- 1 packet maple cinnamon sugar-free oatmeal
- 1/3 cup egg whites
- 1 splash unsweetened almond breeze (almond milk)
- ½ scoop protein powder (I grabbed VPX graham cracker, but I would have preferred cake batter- if I hadn’t run out- doh!)
and put it in the microwave for one 30 sec.
Meanwhile, I blended:
- 1 handful of spinach with
- 1/3 cup water
Then, I mixed the liquid with the oatmeal mix, topped with
- some more cinnamon
- some blueberries
then nuked it for another 30 sec. Green oats!!!

oatmeal + egg whites + unsweetened almond milk

spinach leaves in the blender

turned into spinach juice

Green oatmeal!
(Caution: only use a little bit of spinach so the taste is masked. You can’t taste the spinach at all! If you use too much spinach, you might taste the bitterness. Now go grab a handful and add some color and added nutrients to your oatmeal. Woo!)
