I’m NOT an oatmeal fan, I have to dress it up in order to enjoy it, so THIS is perfect for me! Oatmeal is great for you in so many ways. It is a clean, healthy source of carbohydrate, which can fuel your morning breakfast or your pre or post workout energy needs.
Feel free to add as much cinnamon as you’d like. I always prefer more to less because it enhances flavor of a dish as well as works with your metabolism to slow down any insulin surge you may have from consuming carbohydrates. PLUS, if you’re not an oatmeal fan it helps to mask the taste ;-)
