Eat Oats Every Day


Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! I am obsessed with oats and love making them look pretty every day. We eat with our eyes! Take an extra few minutes to give your meals a pretty presentation. 

Use my recipe as a guideline and recreate your own!!


THE STUFF:

1/2 cup porridge oats (I can't find porridge oats in stores so I buy mine online in bulk off Amazon)

1 1/2 cups water

1 tablespoon chia seeds 

3 tablespoons liquid egg whites

1 banana, sliced

3 strawberries, sliced 

5 raspberries, halved 

1 tablespoon nut butter of choice 

1 teaspoon hemp seeds (hemp hearts)


THE METHOD:

1. Add the water, chia seeds, and porridge oats to a small pot on medium high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, whisking constantly. Add the liquid egg whites and cook to desired consistency. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.


2. Slice the fruit and arange on top of your oats along with the nut butter. Make it pretty! Sprinkle with hemp seeds.


3. DEVOUR! 


You can top your oats with any fruits you like! Enjoy!

Chocolate Egg-White Oats


Chocolate for breakfast? Hell yes! After an intense workout, it is vital to have a protein packed clean breakfast! I eat oats every day, and these chocolate oats are simple and delicious! 


THE STUFF:

1/2 cup (1 serving) of old fashioned oats

1 cup water

1 TBS chia seeds

1 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder

3 TBS liquid egg whites or 1 egg white

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1 banana, sliced

4 strawberries, sliced

6-8 raspberries

1 TBS goji berries


THE METHOD:

1. Follow instructions for the oats and choose method: stovetop or microwave. I make 1 serving on the stovetop. Bring water to a boil and once boiling, add oats, egg whites, cocoa powder, and chia seeds. 


2. Reduce to med-low heat and cook for 5 minutes or according to instructions/desired consistency. (For microwave you can throw it all in a bowl and cook on high for a few minutes stirring occasionally, but be careful of overflow.)


3. Top with Greek yogurt, bananas, fresh berries and goji berries.


You can top with any fruits you like! I don't like very sweet meals but you can sprinkle in a bit of natural sugar, like coconut sugar, if you prefer!! Enjoy!
