1. Yummy Oats with Your Choice of Toppings

In a container, measure out:

• ½ to ¾ cup gluten-free rolled Oats*
• 1-2 Tbsp seeds of your choice (hemp hearts, ground flax, ground chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)
• ½ cup frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries) and/or fruit (mango, melon, peach) of your choice
• 1-2 tsp of your favorite sweetener (honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, coconut sugar)
• sprinkle of cinnamon or a few drops of pure vanilla (optional)

– You can prepare the above mixture the night before to save time in the morning. If so, just store it in the fridge overnight. Otherwise, make up this mixture in the morning and add hot water, dairy-free milk (coconut, rice, almond or hemp milk), or even brewed tea (my favourites are Yogi Chai Rooibos and Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice. You can do this at home or while at work (just remember to keep a container of ‘mylk’ in the fridge at work).

– Feel free to use different combinations of seeds, fruit & sweetener to add variety to your morning oats.

*Bob’s Red Mill makes gluten-free rolled Oats, which can be found at Superstore, Sobeys, Corn Crib, etc.

2. Make Your Own Granola

Make up a batch of our ‘Easy & Delicious Never Fails Granola‘! Place 1/2 to 1 cup in a bowl and top with yogurt or your favorite dairy-free milk. If you eat your breakfast at work, add ½ to 1 cup in a small container and bring to work with you in the morning. Add yogurt or dairy-free milk, and enjoy! Feel free to bring some in–season fruit to enjoy with your granola, such as a peach, pear, apple, berries, apricots, cherries, banana, etc.
