Apples and Almonds

Another amazing breakfast creation today; I wanted to use up the last of my Simple Harvest packets, so I cooked up one with an additional 1/4 cup regular oats and 1 cup hemp milk (I missed how creamy this makes my oats!), then when it was all nice and ready I stirred in a tablespoon of almond butter. Now, I am still a GIANT PB fan, don't get me wrong- but I LOVE how almond butter changes the taste of things; it definately goes better with apples than PB! However, I do miss my banana/pb combo before my run- this morning I had1/2 a big banana with 1 tsp almond butter, and it was good- definately fueled my 35 minute run, but just wasn't the same. The verdict? I think having both almond butter and PB on hand for different combos is the way to go. Gotta love those nuts!

My satisfying oat bowl with the other 1/2 of my banana:


I'm so excited to hang out with my sister tonight! I just need to get through classes before we can get there... ugh.
I hope everyone's Thursdays go well- just think, the work week is almost over- tomorrow's friday! Yay! =)

Hi Kristin! Banana-Almond butter oats made with hemp milk is my favorite breakfast ever! I think the almond butter mixes better into the oats than pb!

I agree, not only was this breakfast DELICIOUS, it held me over for way longer than usual! Way to go fiber, healthy fats and protein! =)
