Ever since I first discovered the convenience of microwavable oatmeal my freshman year of college, I've been hooked on the stuff. Luckily, the microwave phase only lasted through my dorm years, because the real stuff is so much better tasting and better for you! It's kind of like a blank canvas with unlimited topping possibilities! On a normal day, I'll jazz it up a bit with some cinnamon sugar, raisins and walnuts. But on the weekend, when my heart says blueberry pancakes but my brain tells me egg whites and a smoothie, I can compromise and make blueberry banana oatmeal! With sweetness from fresh blueberries, banana, coconut and brown sugar, a little crunch from walnuts, some spice from ground cinnamon and a boost of protein, calcium and omega-3s from chia seeds, I have the perfect breakfast to satisfy my sweet tooth while staying on track. It's seriously SO GOOD!
