Pre-Workout Breakfast: Protein Banana Berry Oats (Vegan)

This morning at 6 AM, I went for a long run along the trails.  I needed something that would keep me energized, full, and nourished. A mixture of carbs and protein always does the trick. The sunrise on the lake is gorgeous. It’s worth waking up early for. When I finished my run, I sat on the dock to cool down and watch the sunrise. 

For my  breakfast, I had a bowl of oatmeal with bananas and protein powder. I use a variety of protein powders, but Vega One is one of my favorites because it’s not only protein. It’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, Omega-3, antioxidants, probiotics and is 100% plant based. I would definitely recommend Vega if you are not a vegetable eater. It’s made from natural and whole food ingredients.

If you don’t like berry, Vega One has other flavors. Chocolate would go great with the banana oatmeal as well.

-Prepare 1/2 cup of Organic Oats in water.
-Slice up one small banana and top the oatmeal.
-Add one serving of Vega One berry protein shake powder.
-Mix all ingredients together!

Another great thing about this breakfast?…it’s super quick to make!

The flavors together, reminded me of a banana split, but in the oatmeal form! This breakfast had a whopping of 24 g of protein!
