No Time for Hot Cereal?

Sometimes we either oversleep and miss the alarm or simply don't want to take the time to eat hot cereal in the morning. Either way, there is a quick and easy solution to fuel yourself for the day ahead.


Take some time the next before to make a couple batches of your hot cereal. Add dried raisins, dates, nuts or sliced fresh apples to your favorite whole grain cereal. A good combination is some oats, quinoa and flaxseeds for your whole grain cereal base.


Cook up your cereal over medium heat until done. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.


Remove from heat and let cool.


Place into airtight containers. Put into the refrigerator.


When you start your next day, simply take out the prepared cereal mixture and scoop your portion into a cereal bowl.


Heat in a microwave for two minutes to warm thoroughly.


Serve with soy or dairy milk and sweetener, if needed. Or, you can skip the milk. Sprinkle with some cinnamon for extra sweetness and nutrition.


How easy and convenient is this?
