I fully enjoyed this Memorial Day weekend in it's 3-days off glory. I love having a little extra time, especially on a weekend considering that's the main time I get to do things I enjoy. This past Saturday morning included sleeping in nice and laaate, as well as a quick breakfast for the husband and I.
I am one of those big breakfast lovers, not going to lie. I love pancakes with syrup and orange juice. Sometimes even a big glass of milk to go with it. However, after adding up all of those calories, sugars, and ooey gooey goodness, it takes a good amount of my daily intake, forcing me to watch every other meal carefully throughout the day. Not for me. I hate counting calories, I'd rather eat when I'm hungry but eat as clean as I can.
So, I present to you, the best breakfast "hack" I have found so far: a banana mug cake with maple syrup, with orange infused water. AH-mazing, you guys. It is basically pancakes with syrup and OJ with a serious fraction of the calories, so you can indulge guilt free.
Ok, so the mug cake looks small, but it is packed with good protein from the clean ingredients and therefore sticks with you!
Here's what is in it:
-1/2 banana
-1/4 cup oats
-1 egg
-2 tbsp milk
-2 tbsp greek yogurt
-Stevia and cinnamon to taste
I mixed all of these ingredients (sprayed my mug with my Coconut oil spray from Trader Joe's ) in a regular mug, microwave it for 1-2 minutes or until your center of your "cake" is not longer runny.
Result?
Amazing and the husband even liked it! Win win. I paired it with a touch of pure maple syrup and cinnamon. I got a little cinnamon happy but I am a cinnamon lover, so it was just fine with me!
My infuser bottle came from the one and only Blogilates! Check them out here.
What is your newest breakfast hit? I know I am really into smoothies, and organic waffles with almond butter lately along with my mug cakes!
