THIS! You’ve got to try it, especially if you’re someone who loves traditional carby breakfast foods, but hates being hungry 30 minutes later, or that full-body exhaustion blood sugar crash. That used to be me, every day of my life, since I grew up eating cereal for breakfast. Who can blame my parents? It was the easiest help-yourself thing they could give me when I’d wake up way too early.
But this oatmeal? It’s full of satisfying healthy heart and brain boosting fats – omega-3 and omega-9, lots of fiber, and cinnamon to help balance blood sugar. You need this in your life.
This recipe is for a single serving. You can make it when you’re hungry, or be really kind to your future self and make up little single serving packets.. OR make a huge 10x batch without the almond milk and scoop out 1/2 a cup at breakfast time.. Yessssss!
Top it with some homemade cashew-coconut yogurt and defrosted blueberries (they’re the best because they get all ooey-gooey juicy delicious).
