Hey babes – ditch those pre made oatmeal packets for this s u p e r simple recipe to fuel you up!
This takes about five minutes to make (Uh, we spend more time on FB then that!) and it’ll provide your body with a nice dose of carbs and fats without the sugar, additives and artificial ingredients in flavored oatmeal. This is a staple in my nutrition protocol; I love it pre long run or on a double workout day. This provides a nice dose of carbs that doesn’t throw off my oh so sensitive stomach while supplying me with an even dose of energy.
I typically get the bulk of my carbs from fruits, and veggies, and then a small amount from gluten free oats and granola. I’ve found that if I eat carbs alone I tend to crash. My body works best with a high dose of healthy fats so I found a way to “bulk” up my oatmeal recipe. I’ll eat this about 1.5 hours pre workout and I’m good to go!
p o w e r packed oatmeal
1/2 cup of Bob’s Gluten Free Oats (Cooked with 1 cup of water)
1 TSP Cinnamon
1 TSP Hemp Seeds
1 TSP Chopped up walnuts
2 TBSP Organic Almond Butter
1 Handful of organic raspberries or blueberries
1 Cut up organic banana
Cook the oatmeal according to the your liking – I prefer mine “thicker” and less watery so I cook it a little bit longer on the stove then most. Then add the cinnamon and hemp seeds, stir in, add the almond butter and let it melt as your stir it in. Top with the walnuts and fruit. Enjoy with your favorite hot coffee or tea on the side.
Enjoy! And remember – your food is your f u e l – so make sure you’re treating your body like the machine it is and not just eating for the sake of eating.
