Monday Morning Breakfast

I had one of my favorite breakfasts, today. Kind of a go to because it is so simple to put together and I know I am eating healthy. I don’t like the mess I have to clean up afterward when making a smoothie. Nor, do I like the seeds that seem to always get stuck in my teeth when drinking it. This way I find easier for me to clean up and not as many seeds getting stuck.

A bowl of oatmeal topped with vanilla yogurt. Most of the time I have fresh berries to put on top but not today. I was out of berries. Time to go shopping for fresh fruit and veggies. Anyway, I use about a quarter cup of dry oatmeal, add water to cover the oats and pop the bowl into the microwave for two minutes on high. When done I mix the oats a bit then add about two big tables spoons of the vanilla yogurt. Voilá! Three minutes total and done. And it is delicious. Give it a try sometime. You just might like it.

A great way to start my day with a meal that will keep me feeling full throughout the morning. Plus, I like knowing I am doing something healthy for me with my food. I find this is a positive boost mentally that lasts and pushes me to stay true to myself.
