Oatmeal can be a healthy breakfast, but not when you eat the kind that comes in a package from the store. Making your own meal only takes about ten minutes or so. Here's how to do it:
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a pot.
- Add 1/2 cup of rolled oats. I use gluten free, organic oats.
- Stir until the water is dissolved and you have your oats the consistency that you want them. Add more water for a creamer result.
- Place the cooked oats in a bowl.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Add 4 - 5 drops of vanilla or chocolate or whatever flavor you like stevia. Or if you don't have liquid stevia, use powdered.
- To add more nutrition, sprinkle in a teaspoon or two of hulled hemp seeds or some ground flax seeds or chia seeds.
- Mix it all together and then add a banana and some berries.
If you are watching your blood sugar, be sure to only use rolled or steel cut oats. Quick oats are too fast to break down and digest and will raise your sugar levels faster.
