I had been underestimating the power of oatmeal for most of my life. When I thought of oatmeal, I’d think if the sugary packets that you add water to. Well, that stuff is yummy, but I never felt full for long after eating it.

Well my whole world changed when my friend, Tori, showed me how to really make oatmeal.

Directions:
1. Boil water
2. Add quick oats and sliced banana
3. Cook until water is absorbed.
4. Add sliced apples, cranberries, sliced crystallized ginger, chopped almonds and anything else your heart desires.
5. Serve with yoghurt and sweetener (honey, jam, or maple syrup)

Now that’ll keep you full for several hours!!!
