I know alot, yes, A LOT, of you out there aren’t a breakfast person. Well, the truth is, I don't wake up early and eat breakfast, I wake up early FOR breakfast. A good way to start a day is having a healthy and nutritional breakfast.
Oatmeal is my #1 favorite breakfast. It is so good for you and so delicious. If you think otherwise than maybe you are doing it wrong. Cooking oats may sound easy but it really takes lots of practice.
Here are some recipes :
I N G R E D I E N T S
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup each water and milk
1/2 small banana
1 Tablespoon brown sugar (or stevia) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
Pour the oatmeal into a bowl then slice the remaining banana half on top, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup fresh blueberries and 1 Tablespoon chopped nuts
