Oatmeal:
I’m specific about this one and have been making it the same way for years. I usually have this cooking while I make coffee or clean up around the kitchen
1/2 cup organic rolled oats (not quick cooking- it doesn’t taste the same!)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Bring the milk to a boil, add the oats and let simmer with the lid on for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. I like to top mine with cinnamon, honey, flaxseed, fresh fruit and shaved almonds
Overnight Oats:
The best for quick, grab and go mornings! I always make this if I have meetings or a hectic morning the next day.
1/3 cup rolled organic oats
1/3 cup almond milk
1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
1 tbsp chia seeds
Mix on ingredients in a container (glass mason jar is great for this and easy to throw in your purse the next day!) and keep in the fridge overnight. The next day, top with almond butter (highly recommend vanilla almond butter) and fresh fruit.
Baked Oatmeal:Can you tell I’m a big fan oatmeal? 🙂 I love trying out different baked oatmeals because it’s so easy! I usually make these on Sunday afternoon and save for the week ahead. Warm up a piece of the oatmeal, serve with a little cold milk poured around it and topped with fresh fruit! Lately I’ve been loving Elisabeth’s recipe (I reduce the honey to 1/4 cup) and add blueberries into the batter.
Muesli:Â
Think overnight oats, but even easier and packed with fiber. I usually rotate between the 365 fruit & nut muesli (no added sugar!) or one by Seven Sundays. Mix 1/2 cup of muesli with 1/4 cup (plus a giant splash extra), stir, cover and store in the fridge overnight. In the morning I mix in yogurt, lightly drizzle with honey and top with fresh fruit.Â
** all of the above 4 breakfasts are also what Olivia has each morningÂ
RxBar Oat Cups & Purely Elizabeth Oat CupsI always try to keep a few of these ready to go options in the pantry so even if we were to be out of milk, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc, we still have a healthy & filling breakfast option since these can both work with just water. They’re also great for traveling! One of these is always with me if I’m not at home.Â
RxBar oatmeal— I find it’s best when served with boiling water, stir and let sit for 2 minutes. Top with fresh fruit. These have 12g of protein and are amazing at keeping me fuller longer!
Purely Elizabeth– love having these cold with milk as overnight oats! Top with fresh fruit and the granola that comes with it.
Amped Up Avocado Toast
This is a great lunch or breakfast option! Top mashed avocado toast with a hard boiled egg, cherry tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning.
