Brighten Up Your Morning Oatmeal!

Written by: Tiffany Hinesley, Personal Trainer @ O2 Fitness Chatham

Oatmeal is a great way to start your mornings. It is filling and full of fiber, but eating just plain oatmeal everyday can be monotonous. Here are two of my favorite ways to jazz up your everyday oats.

I normally pre-make my oatmeal the night before by putting the oats and almond milk in a bowl and leaving it in the fridge overnight. I then add the toppings in the morning.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Oats:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1 banana sliced
• 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate peanut butter

Apple Pie Oats:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 apple cut into bit size pieces
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1 tablespoon honey
