4 Days In - My Re-fueling Protein Choc Rock Breakfast!

It has been 4 days since my weights appraisal and apart from feeling a little sore (in a good way) i feel great! The whole body weights which i thought would be very similar to pump make certain muscles sore which i haven't felt in a while! It makes me realise that although i feel stronger than i have been i still have so far i can go which excited me :) I have to admit it was hard on day 3 when i was sore and worked a 12 hour day previously with another 10 hour day to go but the first steps are the hardest and i was not going to slack on day 3!!! Nothing some music for inspiration could handle :)

With little time to prepare meals i have happily developed a post-workout breakfast which has a high amount of protein with the pea protein and apart from this addition is raw!! Did i mention it also tastes like a chocolate pudding?? It is my 'Protein Choc Rock' and will become a staple breakfast for me on busy mornings! While it takes 30 seconds the night before to scoop some steel cut oats, buckwheat and Chia seeds into some water for soaking, in the morning it takes a well invested 2 minutes to throw the rest of the ingredients together and mix!

See, raw and healthy can be quick and simple :)

Protein Choc-Rock Breakfast

I have done my research and made it as well balanced for a post workout meal as i can and have calculated the macro nutrition content below...

Protein Choc-Rock Breakfast

Ingredients	Amount	Calories	Protein	CHO	Fats
Steel cut oats	1 Tbsp 14g	53.34	1.47g (10%)	8.54g (61%)	1.15g (8.5%)

Pepitas	1 Tbsp 12g	67.1	4.55g (37.9%)	0.22g (1.8%)	5.28g (44%)
Pea Protein	20g (1/4 cup)	69.9	17.6g (88%)	0.08g	0.2g

Total	90g	335 calories	28.5g (34% calories)	19.2g (23% calories)	12.4g (33% calories)

I did have almonds but its increases the fat content and reduces the protein too much so with the good fats from the seeds i just eat theses as a snack throughout the day instead :) 

I only use about a 30g serving of blueberries with give zero fat or protein but with only 30 calories give an abundant of anti-oxidants such as vitamin C and Anthocyanins (the colorful antioxidant pigments that give many foods their wonderful shades of blue, purple, and red) which assist in muscle cell recovery and reduce free radicals which cause cell and DNA damage. They are also a low GI fruit!

I look forward to this breakfast after my workouts now, i have also mixed in chopped banana which give a nice added flavour... yum!
