Work Lunch: Instant Oats Done Right!

Hey there!

We’ve made it – to lunch… The sun is shining the weathers getting up to 24 degrees today and I’m inside working out with the old folks. At least it’s lunch time so I can head out to enjoy some sun. I can’t wait until I can bring my residence outside for exercise and sunshine, it’ll be great for both parties!

Lunch is the sun watching my boys in blue☀️⚾️💙
 
I’m fortunate to have a TV in the gym at my work – I’ve been watch the Toronto Blue Jays play Boston Red Sox since 11 and  will continuing watching through my lunch hour (currently 1-0 Boston😔) LETS GO BLUE JAYS!! ⚾️💙

As I said yesterday, I prep my lunch for the weekend on Sunday evenings. Since I only have a little protein packed cookie for breakfast (recipe in previous post) I make nice healthy bowls of instant oats to keep me full and fuelled for the rest of my day! 💪🏼 Below I have included the way I dress up my plain boring instant oats!!
Healthy Instant Oats

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup instant oats
  2. 1/4 cup dried cranberry or blueberry
  3. 1 tbsp chia seed
  4. 1 tbsp hemp hearts
  5. 1/2 tbsp honey (to sweeten)
  6. 1 tsp cinnamon
  7. 1/3-1/2 cup boiling water (varies for you desired texture of oats)

Instructions

Place all dry ingredients in a bowl and then add water to desired texture. Stir and let sit for 2 minute to absorb all water. Enjoy!!

If you haven’t realized, I add chia seed and hemp hearts to everything. I make sure to always have them in the pantry because they are just that good for you! I will get into the benefits of chia seeds and hemp hearts when I begin posting about my healthy habits!!

Well, my lunch breaks almost over – Jays only in bottom of the 6th. Fingers crossed the finish with a win!!

Till next time,

Kind 💜
