On week-ends, I enjoy lounging around in my pajamas with a cup of coffee and snuggling up with the kids in front of their favorite cartoons. We often have a special treat for breakfast, and in my case, it's old fashion rolled oats. It so easy to make and is so satisfying. Did you know that 1/2 cup serving contains 7g of protein and 5g of fiber (which accounts for 20% of your recommended daily fiber intake)
Old Fashion Rolled Oats
Don't mind the neon color of this recipe, it tastes much
better than it looks!
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 banana sliced (reserve a few slices to add a bit of freshness to the taste)
1 cup blueberries or mixed berries
1 tbsp. flax seed
2 tbsp. sunflower seed (for added crunch)
Method
Place all ingredients in a microwaveable bowl and cook on high for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Let cool and enjoy! You may substitute the banana for a pear for a different twist. My rolled oats of choice is Bob's Red Mill, which can be found in the health food section of most grocery stores. With this particular brand, if using water instead of pomegranate juice I recommend reducing the amount of liquid to 3/4 cup to avoid a more watery texture.
Have a great day!
