Dessert for breakfast, sign me up!

Ever since my son was born I’ve been sharing my oatmeal bowls on social media and you all have been loving them {turns out oatmeal is incredible for keeping your breastmilk supply up}!

I get countless messages about the type of oats I use {One Degree Organics is my favorite} and what I put in my oats to create a balanced breakfast bowl.

I have always been a big breakfast fan, and honestly I could eat breakfast any meal of the day!

Regardless of what I have for breakfast I always make sure it has a solid balance of healthy fats, protein and fiber to keep me fueled up for the day ahead {new mom life is non-stop}. I drink my greens as part of my morning routine, so I don’t worry about having any veggies with my breakfast.

  • Side note… did you know that fiber helps to offset the total carbohydrates in a dish? Say there are 40 grams of carbs and 20 grams of fiber per serving, you will end up with only 20 net carbs! Pretty neat, huh!

Okay, let’s dive into my current favorite oatmeal bowl {I actually just finished it as I’m writing this}.

Ingredients:

One Degree Sprouted Quinoa Hemp Instant Oatmeal

Malk Almond Milk

Learn How to Make my Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl

This oatmeal bowl has quickly become one of my absolute favorite breakfast recipes!

It’s loaded with protein, fiber and antioxidants…and sure to keep you full for hours.

This is an oatmeal bowl the whole family will love!

Ingredients:

Oatmeal 

(try to use an organic glyphosate free oatmeal if you can)

Milk 

(Malk is my favorite almond milk brand)

Collagen Protein

(I love Vital Proteins Collagen)

Fruit - approx 1/2 cup

(I love blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries)

Chia Seeds - 2 TBSP

Nut Butter - 1-2 TBSP

(I’m currently on a peanut butter kick again, but use whatever you’d like!)

Directions:

Make your oatmeal - I always use milk instead of water when making my oatmeal, I just feel like it makes it creamier. I also add extra, so it’s more like a cereal instead of a paste. Once oatmeal is cooked add 2 scoops of collagen (this will add about 20 grams of protein!).

Wash and prep fruit, and then top your oatmeal with fruit on one side.
