Happy Monday! What are you eating for breakfast this morning?

Oatmeal is a popular breakfast amongst the RDs at the hospital. It’s nourishing, filling, and damn delicious. I’ve really been enjoying starting my work days with a hot bowl (aka Pyrex container) of oats. I’ll usually prepare a double or triple batch at home ahead of time so I can just grab and go and then reheat it when I get to my desk in the morning. I especially love it topped with peanut butter (surprise, surprise). The combination of complex carbs (hello, fiber), protein, and fat keeps me going for hours.

Because my co-workers often ask what I’m eating that smells so good, here are a few of my recent favorite recipes. I like to cook egg whites into my oatmeal, but if you’re vegan or just not into it, feel free to skip that step.

• Pumpkin Cranberry Oatmeal (great with chocolate peanut butter!)
• Zucchini Bread Oatmeal
• Chocolate Banana Oatmeal with Egg Whites
• Easy PB & J Oatmeal
• Apple Spice Oatmeal

What’s your favorite breakfast?
