Pre-workout breakfast!

This is my pre-workout oatmeal. This is what I eat every morning before my workout. It's a great source of energy, and it starts of my day with a kick! If you don't like almonds, use other nuts, and you can definitely add other spices to your oatmeal, or even peanut butter. After my workout, I will always make my protein shake.





You can find the recipe for my favourite protein shake here: http://makingtastyplates.blogspot.dk/2015/04/post-workout-protein-shake.html

You will need:

1/4 cup (about 56 grams) of oats
1/2 cup (about 118 ml) of water
1 banana
6 almonds 
A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Quick tip: My weight is about 116 pounds (52 kg) and this portion is plenty for me. It gives me enough energy to get me through my morning workout, strong. You might find your own balance, if necessary! 


- Cook the oats with the water and the cinnamon in a small pot over medium heat. Meanwhile, chop up the almonds and the banana however you like.
- Pour the oatmeal in a bowl, top with your chopped banana and almonds.

Enjoy!
