Somehow my breakfasts just aren’t as filling and satisfying when I eat something other than oatmeal.
And I do love my oats with a little something something added to them!
This morning’s was a new experiment!
First of all…I think FabHubs must have run out of time this morning because his bowl of untouched oatmeal was sitting waiting for me when I woke up. Then FabPreteen did not like the Fuji apple she was eating (not crunchy enough!) so she gave that to me.
So I took everybody’s breakfast leftovers and turned them into a breakfast for me…boy did I feel special!
Digging into my Winning Box Of Healthy Goodies from Oh She Glows Angela, I found these:
These are cacao nibs, raw chocolate, powerfully healthy and a SuperFood!
If you can’t read it…(I can’t!) it says how these contain a rich supply of vitamins and minerals including beta-carotene, zinc, and magnesium, and more anti-oxidant flavanoids than blueberries, red wine, and green tea.
We had opened the package a few weeks ago and eagerly dug and and…and…and…UGH! BITTER! Yes…no sugar added! But I wanted to like them!
I knew I needed to find a way to enjoy them…in something else because at this point I just cannot snack on them as is!
So the lightbulb went off when I was making my oatmeal this morning and I went and got them and added a large spoonful to my oats, along with half of FabPreteen’s leftover apple (chopped up and microwaved along with the oats when I heated them up) and of course my usual spoonful of almond butter. The almond butter just makes the oatmeal for me!
Yes…this is definitely a keeper and I am looking forward to using my nibs now!

YUMMM! That sounds so good. I haven't tried almond butter in my oatmeal yet, but since reading your post last have purchased almond milk. I love that it only has 40 calories, and I really liked the flavor on my Go Lean cereal topped with frozen berries. You always have such great ideas!
