I’ve talked a lot about my journey to a healthier me in recent weeks and months. Eating a protein-packed and delicious breakfast is a part of my focus this year. Finding great easy breakfast ideas isn’t easy. I don’t have much time in mornings like most moms of little ones (and heck, like everyone, am I right?). Because to this, I often wait way too long to eat breakfast and then find myself famished causing me to overeat or eat something with less nutrition.

Today I have a great breakfast solution. And it is SO delicious. I’m sharing the easiest 5-ingredient, protein-packed coconut honey oatmeal bowl.

Oatmeal is such a great breakfast for our family. We eat it a few days a week, but we’ve been getting tired of the plain jane stuff. While oatmeal does have a bit of protein and quite a bit of fiber, I loved adding even more protein so the meal stuck with me longer. And that’s exactly what I did.

I love that this could easily be a one bowl meal. I put all of the ingredients in individual bowls, but you could easily just take things right out of the package and put them in your bowl. Perfection!
