- Oatmeal- low calorie, high in fiber, low in fat, high levels of protein
- Almond/peanut butter- high in Omega 3 fatty acids, high in fiber, vitamin & minerals and phytochemicals
- Chia seeds- 'super food,' high in fiber, protein, Omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorous
- Flax meal- Omega 3 fatty acids, lignans, and high in fiber

- 1.5 cup rolled oats (you can do half rolled, half steel cut)
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup agave nectar (or honey)
- Handful of nuts (you can use sliced almonds & walnuts)
