Carb Cycling - low carb day

Wednesday

Ok, I'm finally going to take you through a low carb day with me, yay!  (I know I know,  just what you wanted right?)  Well hopefully after seeing a sample you won't think eating a whole day low carb is so bad.  First thing that impressed me about low carb days on this plan, you get to have a high carb breakfast!  I LOVE this and it does energize me to get through the hardest part of my day MORNINGS.  So here goes.

Breakfast - Blueberry Protein Oatmeal 


My favorite kind of oatmeal is the steel cut variety.  I love the way it "bursts" when you chew it.  I pre-cook mine in the evening and one batch according to the package directions, (bring water to boil 3c., add oats 1c plus 1/4tsp salt, stir and remove from heat.  Cover and let stand til morning) is enough to last me all week.  I use 1/2c. of cooked oatmeal heated in microwave then add 1/4c frozen blueberries and a dash of cinnamon and stir.  Then I mix up 1/2c unsweetened almond milk with 1 scoop vanilla protein powder with 1 packet of stevia, and pour 1/4 of the mixture over my oatmeal, stir and enjoy!  I use the remainder of the milk/protein mixture to make.............(don't forget your water :)
