The Ultimate Pre-Workout Breakfast

By QuickieChick Laurel House


More than for the purpose of filling and fattening you up, what you put in your mouth has purpose. This Bites with Benefits recipe is the ultimate pre-workout breakfast because it's a one-pot fast, easy and complete meal that is savory, warming, filling, protein & fiber-packed, fat-burning, and nutrient-rich, plus it keeps you fuller longer without the bloat. It's addictively good... it's Oatmeal & Egg w/ Sriracha (yes, the egg is cooked IN the oatmeal).

"But oatmeal is supposed to be sweet…" Really? Who says? It's a grain, just like pasta, rice and risotto. You're not putting maple syrup and brown sugar on pasta. I love savory breakfast (bacon and eggs with a side of grits), and so I'm treating my oatmeal like what it is- a grain, and making it savory.
