PB & Banana Oatmeal
Health Fun Fact
If you're still buying conventional, processed peanut butter (like Kraft), ditch that stuff immediately and go buy some natural peanut butter!! Processed peanut butter is full of hydrogenated oils (created at super high temperatures with the help of a lot of chemicals), and sweeteners (meaning that you're also eating sugar when you're really just trying to eat peanut butter). Natural peanut butter contains just 100% peanuts, and sometimes has sea salt added to it. If you're on the fence about buying natural pb, I'd recommend the one with sea salt! Note that it will separate, you just have to stir it when you first buy it :)
There's nothing that a big bowl of creamy oatmeal can't fix!! The combo of banana & coconut yogurt & peanut butter was sooo good that I keep on dreaming about this breakfast the night before, and after you've tried, you will be too!
Recipe
Ingredients:
1/4 cup gluten-free oats
1/2 cup milk of your choice
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
a few tbsp of Greek/coconut yogurt
Toppings:
1/2 tsp hemp hearts
1/2 tsp flax seeds
pumpkin seeds
almonds
Instructions:
Add the oats and the milk to the pot. Use just enough milk to cover the oats, but not enough so that they get soggy. I usually place a lid on my oats and leave them on the highest heat for about a minute.
Stir them, remove the lid, and lower the heat to medium. Then I keep on stirring them and leave them on for about another minute to thicken up, until they absorb the almond milk and they're not liquidy anymore (this is the key to making them creamy)
After placing the oatmeal into a bowl, add on all your toppings, and enjoy! 😊
