If you think oatmeal is boring, you have not discovered the joy of this incredibly healthy breakfast choice. Seriously, what I'm about to tell you will change your life. The Russells eat oatmeal every morning and never tire of it. Even on road trips, camping or on race day, we are eating our amazing oatmeal concoction. Here's the recipe (and it is super healthy, don't tell your kids):
- Slow Cook Oatmeal (not the quick 1-minute) cooked to your liking
- spoonful of Trader Joe's Just Almond Meal (this is the magic ingredient)
- small spoonful of brown sugar (don't go crazy here)
- small sprinkle of flaxseed (we use organic Spectrum Essentials)
- light sprinkle of cinnamon on top
- raisins (optional)
Why are we addicted to this recipe? Mix it all up, and you will think you are eating a cookie right out of the oven (well, a cookie filled with protein, Omega-3s, lignans and good ol' fiber). You will need to experiment with the "spoonful amount"s over time (since we eyeball everything). Serve with fresh-squeezed OJ, a small cup of coffee (black) and start your workday feeling like a million bucks. Eat a banana and a hard-boiled egg on the side if you would like to. If you are going to exercise, wait two hours so you can digest properly! Enjoy!
Tiffany doesn't but I like to have a banana with breakfast, and occasionally a hard boiled egg.
