I read up on quick, no cook breakfast ideas, other than cereals and found a wealth of reasons to join an oatmeal party. Its cheap, quick and healthy as long as you don't go overboard with sugar :O! ..would I !
I was a little over whelmed when I hit the grocery store seeing so many flavours all with ingredients unpronounceable to most. I ended up buying a huge container of plain'old fashioned' rolled oats, they range from around $2 - $5 all natural and no sugar.
I didn't even think about cooking them! What a pain, I can safely say I won't be doing that again. Now I just pour water to cover the oats in my bowl, about a half a cup, then add a splash of milk and microwave on high for about a minute. Gave it a stir and viola!
I tried my soft, warm oatmeal and sigh, they lacked fun. So, I made it my mission to get creative! Here are a few easy ways to get started on your oatmeal journey too. Happy healthy breakfasting!
* Fruit toot: Grate orange, lemon or grapefruit rind into your oats before cooking, it gives a loud burst of citrus and added vitamin c to your morning.
* Chocy wokcy: Cocoa powder, cinnamon and rasins makes for a yummy sweet and extra healthy option. Cocoa powder is choc full of antioxidants too.
* Sticky and sweet: Brown sugar melts into the oatmeal and a little goes a long way, top with almonds or walnuts for extra sweet crunch.
* Honey bee! Fresh and easy do an amazing organic squeezy honey for around $5. Its all the sweetness you crave and need, I like to add a spoonful of greek yoghurt in this mix just because ;)
