Not only is this beyond delicious, but it gets so bubbly, and tastes like lemon meringue pie first this in the morning. I was shocked at how huge and bubbly this got!!
Eating oatmeal in the morning is a tasty and inexpensive way to add more whole foods to your diet. Oatmeal is high in fibre, low in calories, low in fat, and high in protein. The unique fibre in oatmeal actually amps up your immune system and helps to prevent disease. Oatmeal stabilizes blood sugar, which reduces your risk of diabetes, not to mention it lowers cholesterol too!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup oats
1 lemon 1/2 juice, 1/2 sliced – seeded removed
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1-4 tablespoons maple syrup to taste
What To Do:
Add oats to 1 cup boiling water, with lemon juice and lemon slices. Cook, covered for 15 minutes, until oats have absorbed liquid. Stirring so oats don’t stick, especially near the end of cooking. As oats are cooking, mix 1/2 cup of yogurt with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and set aside to get fluffy. Once oatmeal is done cooking, add maple syrup, take off heat and add in yogurt mixture. Oatmeal will get super bubbly, mix thoroughly and enjoy.

When eating clean, there are some foods that feel very expensive. I am all about saving some cash when I can. Let me introduce millet. I freakin’ love millet. It’s so cheap at the bulk store, it tastes amazing, and it’s gluten free.
Grains have been a central part of the human diet since early civilization. They contain enzymes, iron, fiber, vitamin E, and B-complex vitamins. Our bodies will take time to break down the whole grain because the all the layers of the grain are present (not like white rice). This helps use because it will keep use feeling full for longer, providing long term, high quality energy.
Millet can be used like any other whole grain, and also in dense breads, it has a similar consistency to couscous. Make sure you rinse the millet first and put the grains into water that is already boiling, this will help to make the millet not stick together. Millet is cooked with one part millet to two parts water. You can store it in glass containers for 6-9 months.
Once you switch to the dark side and try this beauty out, I swear you will never go back. The hot water bottle is one of the most useful health care products available. The whole idea is to provide soothing heat therapy conveniently anywhere on your body with ease.
Here are some of the ways you can use this little gem:
Just fill her up with hot water from the sink, it should stay warm for around 2 hours. A lot of my readers are working on emotional eating, and this is a cheap, easy tool you can incorporate into your life. The soothing comfort provided helps with negative feelings, and binging because you are nurturing yourself, what you desperately need. Sitting on the couch with a hot water bottle, is an example of self love. Self love is a huge factor in emotional eating.
