I’ve mentioned that I cannot get myself to appreciate oatmeal lately 🙁
But, I thought I’d give it one more try since I had the ripest banana on my counter. We all know bananas like this deserve to fulfill there destiny to be made into whipped oats…
So I made oat bran. In addition to the ripe banana I added a packet of stevia and some almond milk. It was so sweet and creamy. It reminded me of the Cream of Wheat my mom used to make us when we were kids (I think we used a lot of sugar!).
Run: This morning I did 6 miles in about 55 minutes. I’m slowly getting faster 😉
I still need to pack and stop at the bank before I head to the airport! I better get moving…
I’ll probably see you again in the air!

I love cream of wheat. They make a whole grain variety that has more fiber and a lot more staying power than the white stuff.
Have a great trip!!

I usually prefer Cream of Wheat to oatmeal. I love the texture!

You should try cream of wheat and oatmeal mixed. It’s better than you’d think.

Cream of wheat was a childhood favorite for mine. I remember leaving it to cool off for a few minutes so that skin would form on top and them I’d pour a bunch of blueberry fruit syrup on top till everything turned purple! lol
I love oat bran because it actually reminds me of cream of wheat but is so much better in nutritional value. Of course I don’t pour sugar all over it now but the scoop of peanut butter and bananas in it make up for it big time!

Have you tried cottage cheese, a bit of sweetner, and blubes in your oatmeal? I think I first saw that combo on Carrots n’ Cake and it’s really good! It definitely reminds me of a less rich cheese cake. It’s really good with strawberries too!
On the other hand, there are so many lovely breakfast choices out there – if you’re not feeling oatmeal, go with what you feel.

I have never had cream of wheat. Is it like Oat Bran?
