Quick & Easy Breakfast

What do you consider a quick an easy breakfast? Is it a meal you can prepare in less than five minutes? Or a meal you can eat on the go? Or perhaps it's no breakfast at all...Which we all know is bad! You're mother is right - Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! 

My recommendation for a healthy, filling breakfast, especially for those on the go, is the easiest to prepare. OATMEAL! Oatmeal has come a long way since the days your Mom used to prepare it on the stove top. That bland grey sludge is a thing of the past. Like your mother making your breakfast, and packing you a brown bag lunch every day. 

Instant Oatmeal is my go-to morning meal when I am pressed for time, but I want something filling and healthy that will hold me over until lunch. Oatmeal is the Cadillac of breakfast foods. It's loaded with FIBER, VITAMINS & MINERALS. It helps lower cholesterol, and blood pressure, heart disease, and is recognized by many Food & Drug organizations as a heart healthy food. 

It also keeps you feeling fuller for longer so you don't overeat at your next meal. Oatmeal also makes a great afternoon snack!

So skip that Tim Horton's, McDonald's or Starbucks breakfast sandwich...warm up a bowl in your microwave (seriously it takes 60 seconds), or stash a box of instant oatmeal at your desk at work. Quaker Oats has a great selection of flavours, and options with added protein, high fiber, and low sugar.
