Introducing….my Morning “Cookie”

I’ve decided today is the day to show you guys my (almost) daily breakfast meal.  I used to have scrambled eggs and veggies every day (and I still eat that occasionally), but the thought of my morning cookie perks me right up when I come downstairs with my early-morning-loving child. :)

This was inspired by my friend Lindsay, who found a recipe for a mock cookie dough created to help people with their addiction to the stuff. (haha)  I was craving something sweet one day (but not looking for something super sweet), so I called her and asked for that recipe.  I modified it a lot and I eat the combo below almost every day. 

I use the word “cookie” jokingly because even though it tastes sweet to me, this “concoction”, as Lindsay calls it, is so healthy and nutrient-rich that it keeps me full for hours – seriously! 

Here’s how I make it:

About a tablespoon of organic millet seed (for crunch, iron, protein, carbs):

 

About a tablespoon of flaxseed (omega-3s) and a few shakes of cinnamon (tons of health benefits – google it!):

 

About 1/2 a cup of oatmeal (fiber, carbs, and protein) and a large tablespoon of 100 % all-natural, *no sugar* peanut butter (protein and creaminess):

 

And a swizzle (?) of honey on top – for sweetness only. :) (I used to add a few chocolate chips but I weaned myself off of them.)

 

Add a glass of organic milk (yeah for no hormones) and you have my daily meal that makes me excited for the morning. :)

 

 

Is it low-carb?  No. 
Is it low-fat?  No. 
Did God make all the ingredients?  Yes. :)

I am definitely not afraid of fats anymore after Somersizing and reading all my “clean” books, and I’m not afraid of carbs if they’re in their natural, unrefined state.  I can eat this every morning for breakfast and still maintain my weight if I follow Level 2 Somersizing for the rest of the day. 

Enjoy – maybe it will be your new favorite thing, too! ;)
