So often breakfast is either a sugar-laden, hurried afterthought caught in the midst of a hectic morning, or forgotten altogether. The other problem I run into is that when I make an effort to have a healthy breakfast, I fall into the egg rut…and one can only eat so many egg breakfasts before running to the nearest Starbucks or knocking their kids out of the way to dive into their cereal!
Enter oatmeal. It’s filling and warm, and you can dress it with pretty much anything based on what you’re in the mood for. This rendition was inspired by my husband’s love for all things banana/chocolate/nut flavored. I’m not kidding, he would eat that flavor profile every meal for the rest of his life and die happy.
This oatmeal is high in protein, fiber, good fats, and added Brazil nuts to provide you with enough selenium to keep your thyroid happy.
