Since coming back from Las Vegas and Arizona, I’ve been on a major health kick.

As a part of that, I’ve been experimenting with different recipes! One of my favorites right now is this Banana Oats Breakfast Bowl that I threw together in my head while walking up and down every aisle in Whole Foods.

This breakfast bowl is packed with protein, superfoods and flavor – and I don’t even like oats! But this is just amazing. (I think you’ll love it) 🙂

What you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other milk of your choice!)
• 1 banana (half mashed, half sliced)
• 1 egg white
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (I used a superseed blend of chia, flax and hemp!)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• Spoonful of almond butter (this vanilla espresso almond butter is the BEST)
• Toasted coconut or coconut flakes/chips
• Granola (I got this organic peanut butter granola, it goes really well with the banana!)

How to make it:

1. Combine your oats and milk in a pot and place over medium heat. Stir and cover.
2. When it starts to bubble, lower the heat slightly, remove the cover and gently stir until the oats absorb the liquid (this took about 5 minutes).
3. After the oats are cooked through and your oatmeal is thick, add your egg white (for added protein!). Stir until your egg is cooked completely (about 1 minute).
4. Add the mashed banana, chia seeds, cinnamon/nutmeg and vanilla, mix well and cook until desired consistency.
5. Transfer to a bowl and then decorate with your toppings!

This is one of the easiest and yummiest breakfasts. I can’t wait to experiment more with different breakfast bowls and toppings!
