Hello oatmeal with white beans/pear/almond/cinnamon! I was thinking about you all 16 miles this morning <3 #food #love #running #healthy #fitness (Taken with Instagram)

Who here doesn’t like protein powder? I kind of hate it…but still want to add protein to my meals that aren’t so loaded. For example: oatmeal. Oats are like a blank canvas. The possibilities are endless. Try adding chickpeas/garbanzo beans or white beans to morning bowl of oats for more natural, whole protein and fiber. These mildly flavored beans blend right into the oats and you don’t even taste them! 

My Powered up Back-to-School Oatmeal: 

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 1 cup water 
  • 1 apple, pear, or banana
  • 1/2 cup white beans 
  • dashes of cinnamon 

Try it and tell me if you like or dislike the beans!

Thank you everyone on tumblr for helping me get here! When I was feeling discouraged, I thought about how you all have faced challenges reaching your fitness goals and how you’ve found ways to work through them. I knew then I just had to relax and keep going! I hope we can continue to motivate each other!! xoxo Geri
