Morning Oatmeal

written by Parita 3 Comments

For as long as I can remember, I have been a milk and cereal girl.  Ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you that I don’t just like cereal, I am obsessed with it!  My favorite cereals are Honey Bunches of Oats, Banana Nut Crunch, Multigrain Cheerios, and the list goes on.

Recently, I started making oatmeal a few mornings a week, and OMG do I love it!  My mom was the one who introduced me to it, and I must admit, I was extremely skeptical at first.  In fact, the very first time I tried to make oatmeal all on my own…I failed.  It was a gooey mess!  I then tried again, adding some simple “extras.”  Not only is oatmeal delicious, it tastes great with a cup of coffee, and it keeps you full until lunch!  Personally, I believe I have mastered the oatmeal making process (to my taste that is).  And today, I am going to share my morning oatmeal recipe. 🙂

This recipe serves 1.

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup skim milk

1/4 cup quick cooking oats

2 Tbs. ground flax seeds

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 banana – shredded or cut into tiny pieces

1 spoon of natural peanut butter

1/4 cup granola

Heat the water and milk in a saucepan for a few minutes over medium heat.  Then add the oats, ground flax seeds, and cinnamon.  Mix well.  When the mixture starts to thicken a little, add the banana.  Keep stirring until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture starts to bubble.  Pour it into a bowl and add the peanut butter and granola.  Enjoy!!!

Other fun add-ins I have seen on other blogs include:

Dark chocolate chips, maple syrup, chia seeds, nuts, dried fruit, etc.

Morning oatmeal is a fun way to unleash your inner creativity in the kitchen AND start your day right!

Hello world!

My first blog post EVER!  This is a really exciting moment for me because I have been wanting to do this for a really long time.  A conversation with one of my best friends really got the ball rolling for me today.  I told her how I want to start a blog “one day,” and her enthusiastic response of “you totally should” really made something click in my head.  Immediately after I got off the phone with her, I got on the internet and did some research…the rest is history!  I really want to write more, but I am exhausted (I know, I know… it’s only 9:30)!  Another reason I want to get to bed early is because I want to get up bright and early to do my super fun strength training DVD (Jillian Michael’s No More Trouble Zones).  I haven’t done a hard core strength workout in over a week, so wish me luck!
