Small Steps Lead to BIG GAINS

OK, many people ask me what to eat  for breakfast.  When I respond I almost always eat egg whites or oatmeal I get the eye roll and  a response that goes something like, “I HATE egg whites” or ” I cannot eat oatmeal”…when I ask why they cannot eat oatmeal the response comes back, “because I HATE OATMEAL”.  I just kid, sort of, but the truth is these are important staple foods anyone truly interested in fitness and health should use. I believe people need to make a serious effort in working these foods into their diets.  The reality is that , in the beginning, it may be difficult for people to start making the right nutritional adjustments… in fact, it is difficult because it is a learning process that takes time.  So I decided to experiment with some new ideas and I  came up with this recipe.  The good news is it tasted REALLY good, to my wife, myself and most importantly my little one who loves sugar and spice and everything nice.  Once it passed the KIDS test I figured I should pass it along to our bFit247.com subscribers and members.

     In the recipe I use instant oatmeal because in the morning most of use are in a hurry (this could be a dessert also), and I prefer Kashi Go-lean as it has a higher protein value and flax seeds in it already, for the Omega-3 fatty acids.  If you  have another variety of oatmeal you can add flax seeds or oil.

• 1 Package Instant oatmeal
• 1 scoop Vanilla Protein(your choice)… I guess you could use chocolate if you prefer
• 2 tbls flax seeds or oil
• 2 tbls FiberSure ( I added this because most people do not get enough fiber and this product is great…blends right in and has no flavor)
• 3 tbls raisins
• 3-4 egg whites.
