Breakfast Energy Boost

This is what I eat every morning from Monday to Friday.  It is extremely nutritious, low in calories and fat and will prevent you from numerous trips to the fridge or snack drawer between meals.  On the weekends I then treat myself to a bagel with peanut butter and jam or waffles.  Thanks for the recipe Dad and Cindy!

Breakfast Muesli

2/3 cup regular large flake (not quick cooking) oats - I find Quaker to be the best
Enough milk (I use 1%) to cover the oats - approx. 1 cup
1/2 cup low fat, low carb yoghurt - I love Source or Silhouette Strawberry flavour
1/4 cup - chopped or sliced toasted almonds (can also eat untoasted)
3/4 - 1 cup chopped fruit of your choice - I use 1/2 banana, 1/4 cup each strawberries and blueberries

Instructions

1. Place oats in a sealed container and fill with enough milk to cover.  Soak overnight in fridge.
2. When ready to eat, place untoasted almonds on microwavable plate or dish and microwave for approx. 11/2 -2 minutes on high until light brown in colour.  Set aside to cool.
3. Add yoghurt and chopped fruit to the oats and stir in almonds.
4. Enjoy!
