World’s most filling breakfast for under 400 calories

I want to take Breakfast to the skating rink and buy it a promise ring from the gift shop. Then I want to take my parents’ car and drive slowly by Breakfast’s house over and over.
Most days I eat two breakfasts. That’s because I generally wake up feeling like I’m going to starve to death. This morning I decided to try something new: savory oats. I know, I know, the whole thing just seems wrong. But if it keeps me full for 4+ hours, it’s oh-so-right.
The 4 Hour, 400 calorie breakfast: Savory oats for one, inspired by Womens Health Magazine
-1/2 c rolled oats
-1 cup loosely packed spinach
-1 egg
-1/8 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-1/4 of an avocado
cooking spray
salt & pepper
Let’s do this:
Add the oats and one cup of water to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until water is absorbed and oats reach desired consistency. Reduce heat, add in spinach and stir for a few seconds until spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
Get a small frying pan hot and coat with cooking spray, then crack your egg into the pan. I flipped my egg because I’m not one for runny yolks, but I think I’m alone in this. So cook the egg to your desired done-ness.
Add the oats to a bowl or plate, top with shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and the egg. Top with salt and pepper, and hot sauce if you like!
Now I’m going to go write a note to Breakfast that I can pass it during homeroom, asking it to check a box if it likes me. Or maybe I should just text Breakfast?
Here’s the stats on this breakfast (note I cooked my oats in water, but if you cook yours in milk the calories will be a bit higher):








SO hilarious! I literally laughed out loud and then read this out loud to Jas.
Also looks delicious!
Hmmm, savory oats, you’re blowing my mind here!
YES! Eggs have totally beefed up my breakfast, without adding many calories they keep me full until lunch, which is a pretty big deal since my metabolism is crazy. Savory oats and avocado…it’s such a well-rounded meal! I’m looking to increase my iron intake, so the fact that it has 20% iron is pretty appealing to me.
This is hilarious, “Then I want to take my parents’ car and drive slowly by Breakfast’s house over and over.” Love this line.
This looks so good. I’m in love with breakfast too. I could it for every meal. Anything with eggs is A OK in my book.
