I skip breakfast a lot. When I wake up, it’s often rush, rush, rush – with things to do and errands to run.
All the morning routine videos I’ve seen all emphasize the importance of carving out some “me” time before starting your day, and that is what I’ve been trying to do lately.
My Breakfast Station #QuakerDeliciousMornings
One of the things that has helped is organizing this breakfast station, AND, stocking up on Quaker’s flavored instant oatmeals. Sure, there are days when I prefer to have more savory breakfasts, but lately, I’ve been gravitating towards Quaker oats because it’s just more convenient, and healthier, too, of course 🙂
All I have to do is boil water – I just boil water one time for my oatmeal and coffee or tea – SO CONVENIENT! I take my coffee and oatmeal to the balcony if the weather permits, and enjoy 10 minutes of tranquility, cooled by the breeze, under our mango tree, watching the cats play.
Each packet is also only P10! I also have the bigger packs, which I will be transferring to a container when I’ve used up my packets.
I only have 2 but there are actually 4 flavors available: Banana & Honey, Chocolate, Chocolate with Milk and Original with Milk, and I just pick one depending on what I feel like eating that day. I sometimes also add fresh or frozen fruit, depending on what we have on hand. I also sprinkle some chia seeds for added health benefits! 🙂
Why Quaker Instant Flavored Oatmeal?
First of all, it’s delicious! It’s also quick and easy — very important when you’re still sleepy!
I recently attended a Quaker Oatmeal event where they explained the health benefits of oatmeal:
- has fiber to keep you full longer
- has protein to give you energy for your day
- KEEPS YOUR HEART HEALTHY! Oats have beta-glucans that have been proven to lower cholesterol
Oatmeal is convenient, affordable, AND healthy for you! I actually try to sneak in oatmeal wherever I can in cooking. Instead of using flour or breadcrumbs as binder or thickener, I substitute a portion or all of them with quick-cooking or instant oatmeal!
There are more flavors to choose from:
Start your own #QuakerDeliciousMornings too! But they’re not just for breakfast — I sometimes eat them as an afternoon or midnight snack, as well.
