The thought of swapping TJ’s “Everything but the Bagel Seasoning” for cinnamon and eggs for berries initially seemed like a very strange idea, but ever since I’ve tried it I haven’t looked back! It’s become a regular in my morning breakfast rotation.
Not only does this combo taste amazing – it will also keep you fuller much longer than oatmeal alone thanks to the mix of soluble fiber and protein found in all the ingredients.
When it comes to breakfast I generally recommend that my clients aim for at least 20-25 grams. Oatmeal on it’s own only provides 5g protein per 1/2 cup. Therefore, by adding the slivered almonds (5g protein per 2 tablespoons), eggs (6g protein per egg) and spinach (1g protein per 1 cup raw) you’ll be able to up the protein and nourishment.
