Remember when you were a kid and you always wanted dessert for breakfast? Oh wait… that was yesterday!! I woke up craving a bowl of ice cream. I almost headed to the freezer, but then I told myself, “Self, do you really want to start the day on this note? You know you’ll feel better with a more well-rounded breakfast.” Ok, self, you win. I still wanted ice cream, though, so I got creative with my breakfast. Hitherto, Banana Split Oats!
All the deliciousness of a big ol’ ice cream sundae with all of the benefits of fruits and oats. Plus a little dose of protein and health fats. Can’t beat it!
Is it breakfast? Is it dessert? IDK I’m so confused!! Delicious. That’s what it is. DE-LISH-OUS!
You’re welcome.
