Healthy 21 Day Fix Breakfast: Lazy Oatmeal

One of my go to recipes for the 21 Day Fix was my version of Summer Oats. There are a few modifications, but this is the bare basic version for the lowest calories, least amount of containers, and still has a great flavor! It will keep you full until your next meal.

1/2 Cup Rolled Oats

2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

2 tsp Ground Nutmeg

3/4 Cup Water

1/2 Small Banana

1/4 Cup blueberries

Place Rolled Oats in a bowl. Sprinkle in the Cinnamon and Nutmeg. Fill with 3/4 Cup water (I usually just wait for the oats to float - you'll figure out how much water works for you as you make this more). Chop up the banana and mix it into the bowl, and then add the blueberries. 

Cover the bowl and stick it in the fridge overnight (if you want to make it the day of, it usually takes a couple of hours to soften). Heat up the bowl the next morning (if you want it warm) and voila! 

21 Day Fix Containers

1 Yellow Container* 

1 Purple container 

I have been told that 1/2 Cup of rolled oats expands to greater than 1 yellow container, but the water does not increase the size of the oats greatly, so it all fits in the yellow container after the process happens. 

Variations: You can add sweetened or unsweetened almond milk to make this a little thicker - but you may need to calculate the container measurements differently. The oats also might expand more with any type of milk. 

Secondly, use any fruit you would like. Bananas naturally sweeten the Oatmeal, but you can use 1-2 tsp of honey or a packet of Stevia to sweeten it as well. 

Lastly, I add chia seeds to the mix occasionally. I believe this counts as some of my orange container. They have a weird gelatinous texture, but they are really good in the oatmeal!
