Eating Now: Breakfast

No cook steel-cut oats for breakfast!

I've decided I want to keep a record of my favorite meals. I didn't realize that I go through cycles where I find something wonderful, eat it and then get tired of it. I'd like to come back to some of that deliciousness, so welcome some new posts..."What I'm Eating Now:".

This meal was inspired by Dr Fuhrman in either his cookbook or The End of Diabetes. When I read that he soaks steel-cut oats in liquid (no cook!) and stores in the refrigerator, my heart sparked "that's something that would be easy to do everyday"! So I tried it. Here's what I do:

NO-COOK STEEL-CUT OATMEAL BREAKFAST:
-glass dish with lid
-40g uncooked steel-cut oats
-100g unsweetened almond milk

I make a few of these at a time (twice a week) and store in the frig. Every morning, I pop the lid and put in the microwave for 60 seconds. When it's warm, I toss it on the scale and add:
-5g dried blueberries (Trader Joe's)
-7g chopped pecans (Trader Joe's)
-30g heavy whipping cream

This is fantastically EASY, I look forward to it and it's deliciously satisfying. I love the chewiness of the oats and the sweetness of the berries, the crunch of the pecans and the creaminess of the cream. What a great meal for me!

Previous variations:
dried cherries + walnuts
fresh blueberries + walnuts
fresh raspberries + walnuts
