This is our “go to” breakfast on the weekends when the kids have to leave for swim practice at 5am. I usually make it the night before so there’s no trying to figure out healthy options when we are all still half asleep.The kids love it before practice and again when they come back. I love it drizzled with some pure Canadian maple syrup with my morning coffee.
Not only does this dish taste amazing, but its healthy too! Eating whole grains such as oatmeal is great for lowering risks for high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and it helps prevent heart disease. Oatmeal has been found to lower cholesterol and it’s a great source of iron and magnesium. Being vegetarian, this is an added bonus!
I also love the fact that it keeps our bellies full until lunch, so it’s great for losing or maintaining your weight.
