This bowl of goodness contains mixture of Oatmeal, Mashed Banana & Mixed Berries, Flaxseed, Natural Yoghurt, Protein Powder, Soy Milk and drizzle with a little bit of Maple Syrup... Finished with Desiccated Coconut and Peanut Butter....Chilled overnight in the fridge...

The next morning, I wake up to welcome this delicious, nutritious and filling breakfast that packed with lots of protein, vitamin, fibre and other goodness... i scooped this thick and doughy porridge, and someone was calling me in the dark... 

Mr.S : Honey, don't forget to give me a goodbye kiss while you leave to work later... (sleepy voice)

Me   : ....................................... (smiled and feel contented)

This bowl of goodies didn't just give me an instant energy but it also gave me an instant happiness for this whole day...
