Quick Bites: Oatmeal to the Extreme

Breakfast time!

Do you like instant oatmeal but feel like there's just never enough?

Do this: buy one with high fiber and protein (sometimes it says 'weight control' or high fiber) to keep you full longer and then add in an extra 1/3 or 1/4 cup of water. Cook it in the micro a bit longer so it has a thick consistency. It really works!

And, add in a few almonds or raisins, too! Plus, I also toss in some flax seed for added fiber -- good for the digestive track (and can't taste it).

Enjoy!
