Fun Fact:

This is my first time trying dried white mulberries before! I've never even heard of these prior. They resemble tiny white honey combs, but actually taste like chewy gummy bears. They're full of antioxidants and protein and ultimately makes a great snack and easy to throw into your morning oatmeal!

Chocolate Oatmeal

Chocolate Oatmeal

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon of cocoa mix
• 4 pistachios (unshelled)
• 3 cashews
• 4 pecans (halves)
• 1 whole banana (sliced)
• 1 strawberry (medium size, sliced in half)
• grounded Saigon cinnamon
• honey

You can microwave the oats in water and then mix it with cocoa (you can also boil the oats in a pot, but this would take longer and you would end up with more dishes to wash). If the oatmeal is too hot and you're in a rush (or you're super hungry), add soy milk! The cold temperature of the milk right from the fridge lowers the temperature and you're able to eat it right away without the possibility of burning your tongue.

I love oatmeal and it's usually my staple breakfast whenever I have time to eat at home (otherwise, if I'm running late, I would just grab a granola bar). You've probably heard this saying time and time again, but breakfast is the most important meal of the day. There's a reason why it's called breakfast, because you break the fast. So make sure to eat something when you wake up!
