Fast & Healthy Breakfast

I know we are all in a hurry ALL the time. It is true that it definitely takes more time to eat healthy. One of my favorite sayings around food and health is that convenience is the enemy!Although, we do need to find ways to make it easy to eat well.Here is a little tip I learned to have my “real” oatmeal ready fast. When I say “real” oatmeal, I am referring to the Irish Steel Cut Oats. The oatmeal that you can prepare instantly or in 1 min or 5 minutes DOES NOT provide the nutritional value our bodies need. Again, that is because convenience really is the enemy. This style has been processed to make it “fast & easy” and what has happened as a result is no nutritional value to speak of. The Steel Cut Oats style typically takes about a 1/2 hour to make & requires constant stirring. I don’t know about you but I can’t really fit that in that early!Here are a couple of ways that you can make this work for you.I like to cook it in my rice cooker. There is no stirring required (thank you v. much!) and it is ready in the time it takes to make rice. If you do this right when you get up, you should be able to enjoy your breakfast without any extra time to make it.The other option is cooking it in a crock pot overnight. I have not tried this. One of my clients recommended this to me. This is what gave me the bright idea to use the rice cooker. ? Thank you Carolyn!My favorite oatmeal includes-steamed raw milk (I use my latte machine), toasted pecans or walnuts, cinnamon, fresh fruit or raisins if not available…. OH & don’t forget the butter! If I am feeling like a need a little something sweet, I will add raw/organic honey on occasion.Hope you find this helpful. Enjoy!
