3 Ingredients to Breakfast Bliss

What do these three ingredients have in common?

Cottage cheese (bleghhhhhh), eggs, and oatmeal?

Despite being super healthy and good for your body, these three ingredients have one MAJOR thing in common.

A big ole plate of PURE breakfast bliss, that’s what.

I hope you are as excited as I am Open-mouthed smile

Thank you to Jessica from Warfield Ninjas for sharing with me one of the simplest yet tastiest belly pleasing recipes I’ve tried in a while!

For two good sized pancakes (similar in size to a toaster waffle), you’ll need to combine the following in a food processor:

  • 1/3 cup uncooked oats (I used quick oats)
  • 1/3 cottage cheese (I used fat free)
  • 2 egg whites

Give all the goods a quick buzz in the food processor until the lumps are gone, and cook them up like you would “normal” pancakes!

get. in. my. bellllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I was feeling a little OVER THE TOP, so I decided to top mine off with some all-natural peanut butter, Dannon Vanilla Greek yogurt, strawberries, AND Smuckers sugar free syrup.

Feel free to use the toppings of your choice.  To each her own pancake, I always say Smile

I made a smaller version of these for my mom over the holiday weekend, and she said they were surprisingly tasty and that she appreciated the “healthy and hearty” texture of the pancakes.  I completely agree!

Waffles in mah belly

I woke up bright and early this lovely Saturday morning to head to Day #4 of Body Pump.  Apparently, sometime between Thursday and today the Y got new weights, which are LB weights as opposed to kilograms…  Needless to say, I was thrown off by this ABSOLUTELY INSANE change, but I managed through the class Smile

When I got home I wanted something a little special for breakfast.  Something delicious but balanced…

After some foraging in the kitchen, here’s what I came up with:

That’s

  • 2 Eggo Light Whole Grain Waffles
  • 1/2 cup Trader Joe’s vanilla fat free Greek yogurt
  • 3 sliced up strawberries
  • 1/4 cup of blueberries
  • 2 tbsp Smuckers Sugar Free Syrup

And that, my friends, was a whole heck of a lot of deliciousness.

This may be my new Saturday staple Smile

What’s on the agenda today?  I’ll be running some errands, hopefully grabbing a tasty lunch, then spending some quality time with the condo *hopefully* making a dent in the pile of boxes I now call home Smile
