Vegan Project: Oatmeal On-the-Go

I really like to sleep. I really like to sleep until the very last second where I have to get up and rush around to get ready and out the door to work on time. Many mornings, I just grab a cup of yogurt and fruit and rush out the door. But when I'm out of yogurt, it's difficult for me to find something that I can quickly prep and take with me to work. Enter this tasty bowl of goodness. This recipe isn't rocket science, but it's just a quick pick-me-up for my morning rush.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2/3 cup fresh (or thawed) blueberries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 packet Stevia



Directions:

Combine oatmeal, cinnamon and almond milk into a microwave safe bowl.




Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel. Cook in microwave for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Remove carefully from microwave and stir in Stevia. Top with blueberries and enjoy.





And just like that, I have a very healthy and filling meal. And it's much better than the oatmeal I used to get from McDonald's. Also, it only takes a couple of minutes to get the ingredients together and a couple of minutes to heat. In less than 5 minutes, I've got a great breakfast.
