I have been hungry lately. Like, insanely hungry. In fact, last night as I was scrounging through all of the cabinets looking for just one more snack, I had already decided that I couldn’t wait until breakfast. I already had my meal planned out for the morning.
There are a few reasons why I think I could be hungrier than normal — one being my massive muscles increasing in size by the second. **flexes biceps**. The other being my thyroid medication being increased. Holy hunger! I guess it’s a good thing since an increase in thyroid medication means my metabolism is being revved up.
I surely would not want to ignore it.
So on the breakfast plan this morning was some protein oats to get my stomach nice and full.
I started with a base of voluminous overnight oats, with 1 scoop of chocolate Sun Warrior mixed in.
I always reach a conundrum when it comes to oatmeal toppings. There are just too many possibilities. Sometimes I go overload and top it with everything and anything I can find in my fridge.
Other times, I like to keep it simple — like this morning.
Blueberries are looking mighty fine right now, wouldn’t you agree? That was my deciding factor — that or if one must eat a 2.5 pound box by herself, she has to eat at least 1 cup of blueberries a day so they won’t go bad. Don’t mind if I do.
And since we’re keeping it simple around here this morning, I wouldn’t have wanted to mess it up by using anything but some of the best peanut butter around.
Oatmeal that tastes like a chocolate milk shake? Don’t mind if I do!
Chocolate Protein Blueberry Oatmeal (serves 1)
- 1 serving overnight oatmeal
- 1 scoop Chocolate Sun Warrior
- 1/3 cup blueberries
- 1 tbsp. peanut butter
- cinnamon (not pictured)
The only thing that made this better? Registering for the 2011 Foodbuzz Festival while eating it!
Would you know it that I still wasn’t full after this almost 30 grams of protein breakfast? I suppose snack time will be coming very soon today!
Question: What do you try to incorporate more into your diet when you have insatiable hunger?
