Oatmeal with blueberries and peanut butter

and two links of Jimmy Dean turkey sausage

1/4 cup simply organic (Fred Myers) frozen blue berries (27 calories)

1 table spoon of PB2 powdered peanut butter (22.5 calories)

2 Jimmy Dean turkey sausage links (43.33 calories)

This is PB2. It's powdered peanut butter. I love it. I bought it Wal-Mart for about 5 bucks.

It has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter.

You take 2 table spoons of the peanut powder and mix 1 tablespoon water to make creamy peanut butter.

For 2 table spoons of powder it's only 45 calories. That's a huge difference compared to 190 calories for 2 tablespoons of regular peanut butter.

DIRECTIONS FOR BREAKFAST:

Place try oats in a microwave safe bowl

then add 1 tablespoon of the PB2 peanut butter powder

While your oatmeal is cooking heat two of the turkey sausages in a pan over medium heat.
