Notes

This is my go-to breakfast before I exercise! It gives me the fuel for my morning workouts and has never upset my stomach. My favorite part about this recipe is that it can be adjusted and there are choices you have while making it. For example, it can be made vegan or if you're looking for a little bit of a lower calorie breakfast, use water instead of milk and half the butter or oil you add. I also recommend using fruits that are in season so that it's extra delicious.
