This supportive recipe makes a delicious breakfast or snack.  You can adjust the toppings to fit your mood and pantry.  I used a full Tablespoon of coconut oil in mine–delicious!  But it can be replaced with 1 tsp coconut oil & 2 tsp of almond milk to keep the snack under 300 calories.

Chop 1 tart apple (peeling optional) and place In a LARGE mug or microwaveable safe bowl.  Toss with 1 Tbs vanilla protein powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 2 tsp water.

In a smaller bowl combine: 1 Tbs vanilla protein powder, 1 Tbs peanut or almond flour, 1 Tbs rolled oats, 1 Tbs slivered or sliced almonds, 1 packet Truvia or 1 tsp Gentle Sweet and 1 Tbs coconut oil.

Microwave for 30 seconds to soften the coconut oil and stir it in.

Spoon the topping over the apple mixture and microwave on high for 2-2 1/2 minutes. Or until apples are softened.  Cool slightly before eating so you don’t burn your tongue.

This is also delicious with a scoop of no-churn protein ice cream :).
