Abs Diet: Oatmeal Breakfast Recipe  

A steaming bowl of oatmeal (the real stuff, not the packet variety) is just about the healthiest breakfast you can shovel down: Two hot cups contain roughly 50 grams (g) of carbohydrates for long-burning energy, 8 g of fiber to keep you full, and only 5 g of fat. The rub? Hot oats can be as bland as . . . as . . . as oatmeal, for cripes' sake. Here's a trick to make your morning oatmeal palatable.

 

You Oat to Yourself

1 1/2 c apple juice, hot

3/4 c dry quick oats

1 pear, grated (optional)

Cinnamon and maple syrup to taste

1/4 c raisins

1/3 c toasted slivered almonds

1 peach, sliced (optional)

 

Heat the apple juice in a microwave for 1 minute or until it boils, then pour it into a bowl with the oatmeal and the pear shavings. Stir until thick. Add the cinnamon, maple syrup, and raisins. Top with toasted almonds and peach slices.
