Island Style Oatmeal W/ Fresh Mango

During the week I barely have time to grab my favorite oatmeal packets and run. However, on the weekends I show my love to my food because I have the time. This is a healthy indulgence inspired by my vacation to Jamaica. They had the best oatmeal I have ever tasted! It was creamy and had the taste of cinnamon and nutmeg sooo yummy!

So, naturally I come home and try to replicate and this is what I came up with.


For this recipe I used Targets Simply balanced organic quinoa and oat hot cereal. I cooked it according to the package instructions.

Once cooked, I added 2 tbsp of evaporated milk and let it simmer for maybe 2 more minutes. Now the fun part:


I then added a tbsp of maple syrup (the good stuff), cinnamon to taste, a pinch of nutmeg and sea salt. 

Finally, I chopped up some mango and topped my bowl of cereal with it! Its delish and tastes very indulgent but is in fact fairly good for you!

This recipe is easy enough to prepare before work/school if you are one of those responsible people who give them selves extra time (when i say extra time I mean like 10-15 minutes) in the morning to prepare breakfast (jealous). But, I'm usually running out the door like a bat out of hell! 

ENJOY
