Small Packages

Hearty breakfasts now come in small packages stuffed into large boxes and lined up on shelves. Instant oatmeal, protein shakes, Cliff bars... They can keep you satisfied for hours. But I ask this of you: name the ingredients. 

Exactly. In my opinion, it's always better to make things yourself. When it comes to heartiness, however, that often means a bigger meal than the concentrated dosage of grub you find in those small packages. Well this morning I made myself a hearty breakfast with a surface area no larger than a coaster. It's a little strange-sounding, but trust me--it's worth the taste bud risk. 

RECIPE:

1 white cheddar Quaker rice cake (if you MUST be boring, go with "no salt" flavor.)

3 T peanut or other nut butter

1/2 banana, sliced

It's pretty self-explanatory: spread the PB over top the rice cake, place the sliced banana on top of that, and enjoy staying full till lunch!

Until your time again finds mine,
