I, like every other person "try to eat better" and keep a clean, well balanced diet. Eating clean has been a whole lot easier because I am always filled and I'm getting all of the nutrients I need to power through the day. I also just feel good. I start my day off right, which sets the mood for the rest of the day!!
Why eating healthy, hardy meals helps you?
You're not constantly hungry. Trust me. We all know when we're hungry we quickly revert to one cookie or chip, then another, then maybe just one more. Then you feel guilty. Since eating oatmeal I have noticed I'm not trying to have a snack in between meals. I have been getting filled!
I recently found that one of the best, most filling foods I eat is oatmeal! Believe me, I am a huge person on texture. And one of the foods I always had an issue with I was oatmeal. Since eating oatmeal with some fresh fruit, it's much better. It's like a juicy, fresh flavorful bite with the (sometimes) bland oatmeal.
Side note: I really want to make oatmeal muffins to eat on the go and to fix that texture problem!
5 reasons to eat oatmeal
1. It's quick and easy (and cheap!)
Whether you're buying the premade packs or making your own, it's quick. It's not hard, and totally affordable because there aren't many ingredients. If you're on the go in the morning, it takes five minutes to make, five to eat! Easy to heat up and eat at work also!
2. It's all natural
Talk about clean eating...it really is clean! I like to add a little cinnamon or honey which gives it just a little more flavor, but those two ingredients are also really good for you!
3. It has key nutrients you need in your diet
While I'm not a nutritionist, I know that it can lower cholesterol, boost your immune system, stabilize blood pressure, it helps the digestive system, and prevents diabetes.
4. The taste alone
I will admit that oatmeal is pretty bland, not gonna lie, but adding fresh fruit to it changed my thoughts completely. I'd say it adds a different, unexpected burst of juice!
5. Easy energy booster
Nothing gets you through a day better than a good breakfast. This is it. My fav combo would have to be some oatmeal with strawberries and blueberries with a banana on the side. No mid morning snack needed after that, and I'm left feeling really wholesome.
Bonus
6. I don't know how accurate this is, but I have heard it's helps your skin stay healthy! What do you know!? No more moisturizer needed!

kinda chewy and definitely gooey oatmeal
You need...
- Quakers steel cut oats (one serving size, on the container)
- peanut butter (about 1 tbs)
- honey (about 1 tbs)
- pinch or two of cinnamon
Toppings
- strawberries
- blueberries
I made a single servings worth (directions on making the oatmeal are on the box). I just added water and heated it up. Again, its really simple no true measurements are really required. I just eyeballed it.
Then I added a tablespoon of honey and peanut butter, which made it really sticky, but I didn't mind! For some more flavor I added cinnamon! Flavor burst-don't add too much!
I am telling you, if you don't really like oatmeal have a little piece of fruit with each bite...game changer!
adios, meraki & soul
