I love oatmeal because you can give it any sort of makeover depending on the season. Since we are so close to the end of the semester, and summer vacation grows closer inch by inch, I chose to add more appropriately fruity flavors to this oatmeal recipe.
Oatmeal makes a delicious breakfast and takes almost no time to make. You’ll also feel full extremely quickly. It’s perfect before those lengthy morning classes since it will keep you full until lunchtime.
Whether it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner, oatmeal is healthy and anyone can make it. If you’re feeling especially daring, oatmeal is very versatile, and could easily be used for any meal.
For this recipe, I chose a tropical flavor blend for my oats. Of course, you can choose to amend it to your preferences or keep it as is. It’s a healthy, balanced breakfast that will not only keep you alert and awake all day, but will also let you skip the muffin and pack down real nutrients.
Feel free to play around with flavor, and don’t be shy (after all, it is your breakfast).
Good luck, and have fun cooking!
