Oatmeal?
Joyful wellness reminder: you don’t have to eat oatmeal.
I’ll admit it—I’m not the biggest oatmeal fan. But I do enjoy a challenge, especially when I’m trying to gently convince my mother that whole foods can actually taste good. Do not tell her that’s what I’m doing.
This bowl was a win for me: dark cherries (frozen), cacao powder, a little maple syrup, and flax seeds. Simple, nourishing, and surprisingly enjoyable. I actually had it 3 days this week😅
Oatmeal does have real benefits—fiber, beta-glucans, and compounds that support gut and heart health.
If you’re oatmeal-curious, here are a few ways people make it work:
- sweeter versions with fruit, nuts, seeds, and spices
- savory oats with vegetables, beans, and herbs
- overnight oats for low-effort mornings
- blended oats added to smoothies
And if oatmeal is not your thing at all, that’s completely fine. Joyful, sustainable wellness is about finding foods that support your health and fit your life.
If you want to share:
- Are you an oatmeal person, sometimes or never?
- What’s your go-to breakfast?
