Quick & Healthy: Oatmeal

The Dailies
Lady Elizabeth Grace 

I'm always looking for great, healthy recipes and few months back one of my good friends shared one that  has become an all time favorite of mine. I've never been a big breakfast person but I know how important it is to give my body and mind a good start for the day! This recipe for quick and healthy oatmeal is fantastic, but more importantly it's yummy and good for you. 


Quick and Healthy Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Oatmeal {I like to use Bob's Red Mill Quick Cooking Organic Oats }
1/2 Cup Almond Milk
1/2 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder

1. Add Oatmeal and Almond milk to a bowl, mix together and microwave approximately 2 minutes
2. Add protein powder, mix well and garnish with your choice of yummy delights!
3. Enjoy!


Not only is this a great breakfast and way to start your day, the protein powder helps to fill you up and adds great flavor. I love to add fresh fruit, however today I topped it off with a banana, crushed raw almonds and dried cranberries. Hope you enjoy!

    Thanks for participating in my giveaway ^^

    I'm not a big breakfast person either, but I found a great meal that works for me.

    Vanilla yoghurt with blueberries, non salted almonds (chopped into chunky bits) and linseed.
    Verry yummy but full with good nutritions.

    YUM Almond milk! And good old oats and vanilla protein powder is the BEST! I can't hold back from biting my lip and putting in a word about my business :)... Arbonne has the YUMMMMMIEST vanilla protein powder, its Vegan and Gluten free, 20 g protein AND.... tastes like cake batter! YUP! My kids love it too! Kelley should be getting hers any day to try it out. I'd love to send you a packet to taste!

      Hi Irene, thanks for the comment. I would love to try your protein powder. I am always looking for great healthy products and my husband makes a protein shake every morning for at the gym!
