Walnut Berry Oatmeal

"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."- Lewis Carrol 

As I've previously mentioned, being a college student requires being able to throw together a good meal relatively quickly. I'm not one to wake up any earlier than absolutely necessary, but I also need breakfast or else I'm a bit scary. I've found my favorite breakfast to be one of the healthiest and most filling options out there. 

I'm not the healthiest person on the planet. I work out a couple times a week in a pretty mediocre way, and my diet isn't exactly balanced. However, there are some healthy meals that I absolutely love. This is one of them. 

I try to start every morning with a cup of green tea. I've never been able to stomach coffee, and green tea gives me the caffeine boost I need in the morning. Green tea is also a super drink. It has so many ridiculous heath benefits, some of which I listed:
  • prevents cancer
  • boosts your immune system 
  • boosts your metabolism 
  • reduces your cholesterol
  • reduces likelihood of heart attacks 
  • delays aging 
  • reduces acne 
  • increases hydration


The recipe for walnut berry oatmeal is very simple. 

What You Need (serves one)
  • 1/2 cup of instant oats
  • 1 cup of water or skim milk
  • Handful of your choice of berries (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tbsp walnuts 
  • 1 tbsp flax seed 
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon 
  • 1 tbsp honey
Ingredients! 


How to Make:
  • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl
  • Microwave for 2 minutes
Finished Product!
Enjoy!
