Breakfast!!! #WFPBNO #foodismedicine #eattolose

Breakfast time! I'm a creature of habit and have the same breakfast almost every day. The first meal of the day is just as important as any other so I make it count. Usually the morning is rushed and I don't always have my steelcut oats already to go. Instead I use quick oats loaded up with seeds, fruits and berries with a few spices to kick it up a notch. I buy the quick oats at the local bulk food store for about a dollar per pound. It's plenty of food to keep me happy until lunch and beyond.  Nutritionally, it's a sound foundation covering a daily dose of Omega 3's, fiber and phytonutrients with grains, fruits, berries, seeds and even nuts if you like. I'm less inclined to over do it with the nuts and seeds when I'm not using them as a snack food but rather as an ingredient in a meal. It's easy to make, takes just 5 minutes and totally delicious!!


Quick Oats Plus!
1 Cup Quick Oats
2 Cups hot water
2 T Milled Flaxseed
1/2 t Cinnamon
1/4 t Turmeric
1 Banana
1/2 Cup Blueberries
1/2 Cup Raspberries or other fruit
Optional - a palm full of crushed nuts

Mix together the top 5 ingredients and microwave for 30 sec. Top it with sliced banana, berries and crushed nuts. 
If it's too hot add some vanilla almond milk or non-dairy milk of your choice.
