A day without oatmeal is not a good day. To say I’m addicted is an understatement. I’ve been eating the brown-tanish mush of hot cereal daily for five years and that’s no exaggeration. I’m pretty certain my insides are made of oats now. I am even known to pack a box of oatmeal whenever I travel. (What can I say, we just can’t part ways.) I tried to fight the thoughts in my head but eventually, I had to accept it; Oatmeal.Became.Boring.
“Mix it up”, they said. “Eat some eggs”, they said. No, I will not give up on my oats. In came my new life moto: when life gets boring, throw some strawberries, apples, and whatever else you find in your refrigerator/pantry on it. If you’re tired of boring oatmeal or want to try something new, check out this recipe below! Bonus….it’s uber healthy and keeps you full for hours.
