Protein Packed Oatmeal

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day; it sets the tone for your entire day.  If you have a filling breakfast that is packed with protein you will stay full longer and help keep your blood-sugar levels stable.

Instructions:

• Prepare a serving of organic rolled oats as directed (I use quick oats)
• Pour 2 Tbsp. of organic ground milled flax seed onto the cooked oatmeal
• Top with 12 unsalted almonds
• Sprinkle 1 tsp. of ground cinnamon on top 
• Add 1 Tbsp. of dried fruit like cranberries, cherries, or blueberries (I LOVE dried cranberries)

You can also add a splash of milk or soy milk to help cool it off faster or if you grew up with milk on your oatmeal like I did, it is a necessity.
