Oatmeal for Heart Health: Creative Ideas...

'February is Heart Health Month'

I saw an old friend at the grocery store and as soon as she saw me she said, “So oats are good for your heart! But how much fun is oatmeal every morning?"

This post is dedicated to the nonbelievers…

Who says oatmeal needs to be boring?!?! All you need is a little creativity, something sweet and a dash of spice…

Here are some of my favourite combinations to add to oatmeal:

A banana, walnuts, ground cinnamon, almond milk and honey.
Strawberries, sliced almonds and soy milk.
Mixed berries, ground cinnamon and honey.
A sliced peach, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, agave syrup and crushed almonds.
Cubed apples, ground cinnamon, almond milk and raisins.
Sliced apples, ground allspice, honey and sliced almonds.
Cranberries, walnuts and brown sugar.
Pecans, ground cinnamon, ground ginger and honey.
Unsweetened shredded coconut, sliced almonds, raisins and honey.
Sliced pear, sliced almonds, cinnamon and honey.

If you have any creative ideas share them. I love trying new combinations!

Stay Healthy!
