BREAKFAST
Oatmeal
Start with steel cut oats. Slow cook! (vs. ‘quick’! That’s a clue that they have already been altered or processed in some way (partially digested—ik!)
I use ¼ c. dry oats to ¾ c. filtered water. Bring the water with salt-to-taste to a boil and add the oats. Reduce the heat, cover for @ 10-12 minutes (you choose how soupy or thick you like it).
Once cooked, I add liquid Stevia (herbal sweetener), Cinnamon, Molly Mcbutter (one of the FEW chemicals I concede to). Then I add fresh blueberries (small hand full- @ ¼ c.) plus 4-5 fresh raspberries. I keep these CLEAN in my fridge ALL the time!
This coupled with 3-4 egg whites and a freshly sliced tomato… it is such an incredible breakfast, and quite frankly, the oatmeal tastes like cobbler to me! AND I could eat it any time of day!
