Oatmeal with Fresh Blueberries and Strawberries

Start your morning and day off with a quick and simple to prepare breakfast meal that is high in nutirients and antioxidants to provide your body with all the energy that it needs.

High in fiber, vitamins, calcium and protein.

Ingredients:

Oats
Fresh Strawberries
Fresh Blueberries
Cinnamon
2% Milk
Plain Yogurt

Add milk and cinammon to raw oats. Cook or microwave per required amount of time. Add yogurt and blueberries and sliced strawberries. Serve.

A slight variation from the above oatmeal recipe. For this healthy oatmeal breakfast I added:

• Fresh and organic chopped small apple. I happened to pick these apples fresh off a tree growing in the city in a public place.
• Thawed (from frozen): mango, pear, strawberry
• Sprinkle for the crunch: Quaker Harvest Crunch cereal

in addition to the oats, milk and yogurt from the above recipe.

I normally like to use fresh fruit that I wash and slice up daily like strawberries or slice them ahead of time as a batch (bowl of sliced pinneapple, that I will use over a number of days). Blueberries are really quick and time saving, all they need to be is washed. This time I decided to buy a bag of 3 different sliced frozen fruits, to try something a little different. The frozen fruits are pretty good but of course I prefer fresh. If you like convenience without the extra work, frozen fruits may be the way to go although this convenience may cost a little bit more. This bag of fruits (mango, pear, strawberry) is already peeled and sliced.

Cherries, Probiotic Yogurt and Oats

Another variation, but this one with:

• Thawed frozen cherries
• Probiotic yogurt
• Variety of nuts and seeds
• Cinnamon
• Oats
• 1/2 milk, 1/2 water
