Peanut Butter Banana and Flax Oatmeal

If you have been reading this blog for awhile and have read any of my what I ate Wednesday posts you know that I eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every single morning.  I’m a creature of habit and love how quick and easy oats are.  Plus they keep me full until lunch.

Oats are a great source of fiber and including oats in your diet has been shown to decrease your cholesterol.  I like to add in some peanut butter for protein, banana for sweetness and a fruit serving, and flax for the omega-3′s’.  I often toss a handful of homemade granola on top for crunch. In the bowl of oatmeal that is pictured the topping was some cherry berry granola from my Nature Box.

This is a super simple and healthy breakfast that is ready in under 2 minutes.  No excuses for not eating a nutritious breakfast!
