Who doesn't love Peanut Butter and Jelly?
If you don't, I don't want to know.
This recipe was so easy, and it actually tastes like you are eating something you shouldn't.

2-3 dates, ripped into small pieces |
Mix protein powder with oats. Cook steel cut or quick oats as directed, adding a tad more water to make up for the extra protein powder in the oats. Steel cut oats will take longer- I often make this snack at work, so I usually use the quick oats as they will cook with just boiling water from the kettle- but I've made steel cut oats in the slow cooker overnight as well! Steel Cut Oats taste heartier and nuttier, almost like a quinoa consistency. Quick oats taste like regular oatmeal!
Once oats are made, add natural nut butter and dates. Stir.
Voila- you have a delicious, clean breakfast made in under 5 minutes!
Is there a certain guilty pleasure food that you wish came in a healthy (and tasty) version?
