Oatmeal with Fresh Berries and Almond Milk

October 31, 2013 by Dawna Stone

Are you growing tired of your typical morning meal? Add some variety by incorporating oatmeal. Oatmeal is ideal if you are trying to lose or maintain weight. Just remember, it is easy to consume more than the recommended serving size. Pay close attention to the recipe and/or label to make sure you are keeping to a single serving. Also, add a touch of fresh fruit or milk for that little bit of balanced sweetness.

  1. Herb Chicken: Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a resealable plastic bag, combine the chicken, oil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt and garlic. Shake the sealed bag to coat the chicken. Transfer the chicken to the grill pan and cook, turning once, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees and the juices run clear. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let it stand for 3 minutes to reabsorb the juices before slicing and serving. Note: If you don't have access to a grill, place chicken in a glass dish and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning once, or until no trace of pink remains.
  2. Steamed Broccoli: Rinse broccoli, cut off stalk, and break into bite-size pieces. Bring 1-inch water and salt to boil in saucepan with steamer. Add broccoli, and cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 4-6 minutes or until broccoli is bright green and tender. Note: If you don't have a steamer, steam vegetables directly in water.
  3. Green Salad: Combine mixed greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers, and divide onto 4 plates. Drizzle with dressing of your choice (see below for dressing options).
