My favorite breakfast is this Berry Brain Food Oat Bowl:

Serves 2

1 Cup Rolled Oats ( can use less depending on hunger) 

1 Banana 

1 Cup of Berries ( can use frozen/microwave for 1 minute, more berries are always good)

1 Tablespoon of Ground Flax Seed

1 pinch of ground ginger

1 pinch or so of cinnamon

1 cup of your favorite plant milk (more if you want)

2 Tablespoons of walnuts (optional) 

Throw everything together in a big bowl or to go container.  Let sit for at least 15 minutes so oats can soften and enjoy.

Tip 1 – You can cook this like oatmeal, but I like to just eat the oats raw.  They soften quickly.  You can also put this together the night before and leave in the fridge.

Tip 2 – Walnuts and flaxseeds are a great way to add Omega 3’s to your diet.  However, if you are wanting to lose weight, skip the walnuts.   The flaxseeds can also be optional.  They do add calories, but they are a great source of fiber and healthy nutrients.

Tip 3 – Berries of all kinds are a healthy brain food.  They have amazing plant compounds called anthocyanins that are anti-inflammatory and have great antioxidant effects and they are super yummy!   Whenever possible, eat your berries.
