This is a quick and easy dish that will last with you all morning and has plenty of healthy benefits. Oatmeal has plenty of soluble and non-soluble fiber that helps to flush out the bad

Ingredients
  • Steel Cut Oats About a 1/3 of a cup
    • And about 3 or 4 times as much water. The steel cut oats take a little longer to cook but it makes up for it in flavors and textures.
  • Fresh fruit I'm using blueberries and strawberries but any will do.
    • Also try bananas, raisins or cranberries.
  • Cinnamon: Adds lots of flavor and is good for your liver and controlling blood sugar.
  • Real Maple Syrup is an excellent source of manganese and a good source of zinc.

The taste of fresh organic oatmeal is so much better than anything prepackaged and it is simple to prepare. Can you boil water?

Some Oatmeal ideas

  1. My #1 choice: raisins and apples sliced up into small bite size chunks.
  2. Bananas and peanut butter. The heat really brings out the flavors
  3. Pouched egg, protein
  4. Mixed fruit, right now blueberrys are in season
  5. Be creative, it’s hard to create bad oatmeal

Some other addition for oatmeal: Wheat bran, butter or coconut butter, flax-seed meal, and for sweetners, I like maple syrup or honey (lots of trace minerals). What’s your favorite way to make Breakfast?

My best morning tea, today
Green tea with squeezes from a lemon and some honey. This is easy & fast to make, but there are plenty of benefits. Green tea has plenty of great qualities including properties that help with weight loss. Lemons have plenty of health rich nutrients including cancer fighting carotenoids and flavonoids. Lemons will also help the stomach to shrink so you will eat less during the day.  Raw honey also has lots of healthy properties.

This green tea recipe is a great way to start the day. I usually wait about 20+ minutes before eating breakfast.
