Apple Banana Nut Oatmeal

Oatmeal is the perfect food, I’m sure of it. The number of varieties are endless and it is ready in just minutes. Today I used apples and bananas but this recipe works with just about anything you have in the house. The key is to follow to a healthy oatmeal breakfast:

Oats (whole grain/fiber) + Milk (protein/calcium) + Fruit (vitamins) + Nuts (protein/healthy fat) + Flaxseed (omega-3’s) = Happy Breakfast

Your spoon is waiting.
