Organic Steel Cuts Oats@15 Cents a Bowl!

Organic Steel Cut Oats at 15 Cents a Bowl

(organic steel cut oats: 4g fiber, 7g protein, gluten-free, GMO-free, low calorie, low glycemic)


It's time to GET HEALTHY! The deep freeze is over, and if you just know your shorts don't fit, weekends are great for pre-prepping your powerful weekday meals.

An hour of preparation in between computer tasks is all you need to keep a batch of low cost, organic, steel cut oats in your fridge for the week. You will be dipping into this powerhouse of nutrition all week!


 Cook 3 parts water to 1 part organic steel cut oats ($1.39/lb from Wholefoods...you can DO this!) for about 45 minutes until soft.  Stir occasionally. I use a non-stick pan because it's easier for clean up.  (Some people think non-stick is toxic. I am still researching this material.)
 
Pour oats into container in fridge. When cold, take out a cup at a time, micro for a minute or so  (+/-)with a handful of frozen blueberries, raspberries, walnuts, a little sugar if you need it. Or cut up into squares and bring to work with add-ins thrown on top.

When oats are hot, frozen blueberries will just melt right in and create a gorgeous work of pink/red/blue art. This breakfast will set your metabolism straight! Get ready to feel HEALTHY!

If you use go with USDA certified organic, you will be GMO free for a whole week of breakfast, at a very reasonable price! I get about 10 servings from $1.52 worth of organic, steel cut oats. If I add a few organic walnuts, organic frozen bluberries, a sprinkle of organic sugar, I am still only up to about 35 cents per breakfast.

Start your day with an affordable, healthy, non-toxic and most importantly--DELICIOUS breakfast!

 This is a rich, satisfying, 'slow burning', go-to breakfast or snack!

1 cup oats: 3 cups water (pinch of salt if ya want)


Put in pot on medium high heat until it comes to boil (10 min or so) then reduce to low for simmer (tiny bubbles)
 Stir occasionally and cook until oats are soft, all water is absorbed. If oats are still too hard for you, add a little extra water and keep cooking until they are as soft as you like them.
 Eat immediately or put in container for a whole week's worth of breafast.  Cuts nicely into squares to take to work in container with frozen or fresh berries added on top in a hurry before you leave.




Additional add ins: Almond slivers, raspberries, raisins, cinnamon, brown sugar, a teensy splash of vanilla, apples, bananas, you name it!
