Love Of Oats

A blog dedicated to balancing a healthy and fun life… with oats!

Oh Oatmeal

… how I missed you!

I started out this morning with good old oatmeal… I REALLY was craving it and can’t believe I went all day yesterday without having any… This combination was 1/2 banana with a mini raisin box added in, and of course flax and cinnamon… it tasted like the best bowl of oats ever, since I haven’t had any since Friday – so sad!  This picture was taken pre-microwave because I was in a rush and had to eat it at work…

Are any of you addicted to a certain healthy food that you basically can’t live without (or am I the only nut ;) )?

I have high hopes for today since it’s another fantastic sunny & bright day… I am loving our 70 degree spring weather, it makes waking up at the crack of dawn so much easier ;)   It is also my 2nd to last day of volunteering with the first grades, I can’t believe the program is coming to an end already, I feel like I just started it… Today we are teaching them about airplanes, both commercial and defense, should be an interesting lesson!

I’ll be back for lunch… have a happy Tuesday!

    Oh I heart the oatmeal too. I usually have at least one bowl every day (but I don’t mix it up like you do… I usually just have cinnamon and sugar or apple slices with it).

    But my FAVOURITE? Apples. Apples galore. I generally eat 3 or 4 in one day. I never tire of eating apples!

    You are adorable! You are not a nut, I am obsessed with lots of healthy food. I think because when I eat junk, my body feels gross! So I need to eat things that make me feel good! Oh and I miss oatmeal too if I haven’t had it in awhile :)

    FRUIT. OMG I CAN’T GO A DAY WITHOUT HAVING TONS OF IT. Seriously, during the winter, I’m awful, and I totally pay way too much money for “out of season” fruit. Watermelon, Honeydew… KIWIS in the summer are my new obsession. I love love L.O.V.E. Rasberries too, but only at this time of year! Hmm, I think that’s it? OH and definitely water ;) I certainly couldn’t live without that! Haha!

    Have a Lovely Dayyy!
