A Quick Breakfast Boost - Vanilla Frosting!

Let's face it, breakfast is a pretty tough meal to get in your three essential elements of good nutrition...protein, produce and water.

I love eggs and they are a fantastic source of protein, and omelets are pretty quick and easy to make, but even I like to change it up once in awhile.

Here's a quick tip to up your protein that is fast as lighting and goes fantastic on top of a bowl of hot cereal.

"Vanilla Frosting"

Just mix 1/4 cup of plain yogurt with 1 scoop of vanilla UMP (Ultimate Muscle Protein - In Stock Now :) - if you need to, add a little water until the mixture is a little thinner than cake frosting consistency.

Spoon it on top of your oatmeal in the morning - it adds great flavor and about 22 grams of lean protein to your breakfast!

Here's a recipe from "Gourmet Nutrition" that uses "vanilla frosting" on top - it's one of my favorites - enjoy!

Orangealicious Oatmeal ½ cup water ½ cup orange juice ½ cup oatmeal ½ orange, cut into small pieces 1 Tablespoon flaxseed ¼ cup plain yogurt 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (UMP is delicious)

In a small pot bring water and orange juice to a boil. Add the oats. Reduce heat to low, cook for 7 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Stir frequently. Remove from heat. Add oranges and flaxseed. Combine yogurt with protein powder, pour mixture over oatmeal and serve.
