Breakfast cereals are a great option for a quick and easy breakfast... only if most weren't full of sugar, had a sufficient amount of protein and had less of the crappy ingredients. There is only one way around it: Do it yourself! :) This cereal recipe is full of protein, full of fiber and of course, absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
- 150 g oats
- 100 g rice protein
- 50 g pea protein
- 150 g VitaFiber
- 33 g coconut oil
- 1 tsp. (5 g) xanthan gum
- 5 servings (as directed on the package) non-calorie sweetener (I used vanilla FlavDrops from myprotein)
- 150 ml water
Optional: 1-2 tsp. cinnamon
Directions
1. Combine all dry ingredients and mix well
2. Add melted coconut oil and mix well (I used hand blender with dough hooks for mixing)
3. Add water slowly and continue mixing until a cereal-like texture is formed
4. Spread the cereals on a baking tray lined with baking paper
5. Bake at 200C/ 400F for 20-30 min until golden brown (take out every 5-10 min and stir)
Makes 5 servings.

Tip: I add chia seeds to the cereal mixture after baking to enhance the satiating effect of the cereals (they soak and create more bulk) and increase my omega 3 fatty acid intake. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential and super important :)
