Jump-start your day with an energizing bowl of antioxidant-rich oatmeal!
By: Jodie Shield, RDN
Having trouble waking up? Jump-start your morning with a quick bowl of homemade oatmeal loaded with antioxidant-rich fruit. It’s so good and good for you, too. (Check out my post Six Reasons to Eat Oatmeal Everyday). Since I’m an Ina Garten fan, I decided to lighten up her Sunday Morning Oatmeal. I used skim milk and was tempted to leave out the banana, but glad I didn’t! It adds a naturally sweet flavor to compliment the tart cherries. This high-octane oatmeal is perfect any day of the week! Rise and shine to some of my other favorite breakfast recipes like Orange Cranberry Oats, No-Mess Bacon, and Lean Eggs and Ham Bake. All of them are also on my FREE recipe app Time to Eat Healthy: Homemade Meals in Minutes.
