My Go-To Oatmeal

Wellness after 45

April 19, 2021

Recently I've become slightly addicted to this oatmeal recipe, which I have to say, is quite surprising.  In general, I was never a huge oatmeal fan in the past but somehow I find this oatmeal something I crave most days of the week.  ​

Though the recipe is pretty much the same each time, on days I've worked out before eating breakfast, I will add a serving of protein powder.  Enjoy the recipe and let me know what you think! 

Ingredients:

1 cup water

1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats (I use the Gluten Free ones)

Pinch of Himalayan salt

Splash almond milk

1 tsp chica seeds

1 tsp ground flax meal

Directions:

Bring water to a slow boil

Add oats stirring frequently

After cooking for a few minutes, add almond milk, chia seeds, and flax meal.

If adding protein powder, do it now. (I love to add vanilla or cinnamon flavored. Tone It Up Protein Powder is one of my favorites!)

Stir frequently until oatmeal is cooked, approximately 5 minutes. 

Add toppings (sliced berries, bananas, spoonful of almond milk, coconut shreds, etc)

Serve immediately!
