I have discovered that the best breakfast I can eat in the morning is a very simple one. It starts with Bob’s Red Mill Rolled Oats, Berries (local when in season), a banana and Bear Naked Fruit and Nut Granola.
I find a little time on the weekend to prepare enough oatmeal for the whole week. It’s pretty easy as I boil 4 cups of water, add a little salt, and bring to boil. I then add two cups of rolled oats and simmer for 10 minutes. I let the oatmeal sit for another 2 minutes and distribute to plastic container and place in fridge.
I like to get up early (3:30 AM) to check email and finances with a cup of coffee. Around 4:30 AM I am on the treadmill trying to burn off 300 calories. It’s then time for a shower and eat this healthy breakfast before heading out to work. What I have learned is that typically I don’t feel any hunger until lunchtime. Sometimes when I do feel hungry, I eat an apple and have a cup of green tea. Between the workout and the healthy breakfast my energy levels are also sustained throughout the course of the morning.
And yes, since I have been doing this each day my blood sugar has been coming down, getting closer and closer to a non-diabetic range.
Those are two products I like, too, Bob’s Mill anything and Bear Naked granola. The pumpkin flavor was sooo good. And your banana and berries mixed in makes it all look yummy and for sure filling.
It certainly is delicious 🙂
I eat something similar with a partial tsp of Amla powder. Great science that Amla controls blood sugar. I ordered several sealed packages in August. If you would like to try some I would be happy to share a sealed package.
Thanks Mimi, I will look into Amla. 🙂

Crikey. Here in the UK we just make our porridge with boiling water and rolled oats adding a cut up banana as a treat. Having said that we do occasionally splurge and add a few cut up dried apricots.
