Breakfast
Jump-start Oatmeal
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups water
1 1/3 cups milk
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/3 cups oatmeal
2 cups frozen mango, strawberries, raspberries
¾ cup walnuts
¾ cup sunflower seeds
Directions
1. Put the milk and water into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Add the cinnamon, ginger, honey, oats and frozen fruit to the boiling liquid. Stir, cover and reduce heat to medium low.
3. Cook for 5 minutes, until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is burning on the bottom of the pot.
4. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts and sunflower seeds. Serve immediately.
In this case, the walnuts and sunflower seeds provide both healthy fats and additional protein to make this breakfast last for several hours. The cinnamon and ginger serve to warm you up on cold days. Use whatever frozen fruit your family likes, but note that blueberries can change to color of the oatmeal to a weird blue.
