Banana Bread Breakfast



You:  Banana bread for breakfast?
Me:   Why not!
You:  Because it's not healthy.
Me:   This bowl of goodness is :)

Eating healthy doesn't have to be hard, nor does it have to be bland. This was simple and I got two servings out of it at approximately 250 calories per serving with nuts and around 200 calories without nuts.

1 frozen banana (doesn't have to be frozen)
1 cup flake cereal (I found a gluten free one but Corn Flakes are just as yummy)
1 cup milk (I used a light soy milk, but any type will work)
2 TBS walnuts (optional and almonds would make a good choice too)
2 scoops of vanilla whey protein (1 tsp of vanilla extract would do the trick too)

Blended it all together in a food processor. I let mine sit for a little while to get the flakes soft but if you want a little crunch eat immediately.

Note on food processor - I recently bought a Ninja because it was cheep (around $20) and looked like it would do the trick. It was a good call, I use it for all kinds of recipes, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants something small and affordable.
