Our breakfast every week day is Oatmeal. Thanks to AT who introduced us to this and explained the differences between the instant and old fashioned oatmeal in one of her post years ago! Since then we have become big fans of old fashioned oatmeal.
Take two to three large scoops of old fashioned oatmeal and cook it on stove top with enough water. Add a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder after its fully cooked and give it a stir. cinnamon powder is known for strengthening the immune system.
There are different ways to top up the cooked oatmeal.
Until last year
My version:
dry fruits and nuts
a spoon of milk is optional. I used Soy vanilla.
handful of granola (optional)
I usually pack if to work. The fruits will be soaked and nuts softened by the time I eat and I love that texture.
M’s version:
two spoons of yogurt
freshly ground pepper (as per taste)
This year, both of us are having the same version
two spoons of yogurt
1/2 stick of celery (celery is known for lowering cholestrol)
handful of blueberries
handful of pomegranate
1/2 teaspoon of pepper powder
1 hard boiled egg whites cut into small pieces
basically throw in anything you like, more importantly healthy and have a great start of the day!!
I like to have it at my office desk after settling down..
