Peanut-Butter-Banana Breakfast Cookie

Thanks to all who participated in the thinkThin Wellness Giveaway! Winners have been contacted via email or I replied to your comment on the blog post. Please email me your mailing address at kait@rbitzer.com.


I also updated my recipe page and video page for more nutrition information!




And now another high protein breakfast from Amy! 


A Breakfast Cookie...(yes cookie) is fun to look forward to in the morning.
 
The cookie is a high protein, high fiber, and very filling breakfast. They also happen to be convenient for people who have busy mornings since it is made the night before.


My Ingredients: 

  • 1/3 cup old fashion oats 
  • 1Tbsp peanut butter 
  • 1/2 scoop protein powder
  • 1/8 cup chocolate almond milk
  • 1/2 banana for the cookie, 1/2 for topping 
  • 1 tsp agave nectar (optional) 


All you have to do is combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Once they are all mixed place them on a small plate or tupperware and put it in the fridge over night!



My cookie was AMAZING!... I put it in he freezer before I went for my morning run.  I recommend this because the freezer made my cookie the perfect consistency with a cool freshness to it which was exactly what I needed after my 5 mile run!

    Anyway the recipe could be tweaked to get a lower carb count?

  3. You could replace some of the oats with nuts !
