Let’s start your morning out right with a balanced hot cereal. Most people make oatmeal with milk and raisin, which equals carbs, carbs, carbs. When I make oatmeal for my family, I always balance it with some protein and good fat. When your breakfast is well balanced, your blood sugar is more stable and I guarantee that you’ll make better decisions for the rest of your day. As a bare minimum, add some nuts/nut meal/hempseeds or protein powder to your oatmeal for better balance.
This is a large batch of oatmeal that feeds a family of 4 plus leftovers
- oats, 3 cups (I used quick oats, but steel cut are better and make sure to buy gluten free oats if you have Celiac Disease)
- protein powder (hemp/rice/pea/chia), 1-2 scoops
- 1/4 cup ground flax meal
- 1/4 cup ground almond meal
- 3-3 1/2 cups hot water
- stevia for added sweetness – I added 10 drops
- cinnamon, to taste
Mix dry ingredients together in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add hot water and stir well. Add stevia and cinnamon to taste. You are welcome to add nuts, hempseeds, fruit and/or coconut milk as a topping.
