Hello World!! Hope you all are doing great!!
As a sneak peek, I can tell you that it will be some sort of oatmeal, with some sort of berry fruit… But continue reading to learn more about what we are making on this post!
Today I found a quote that resonated with me so much!!
“The way you eat is a reflection of the respect you have for yourself”
For the longest time eating “clean” or eating “healthy” for me was mainly a punishment. but slowly as the years progressed I started learning that if I want my body to function to its maximum ability, well… I had to eat cleaner and treat my body the way it deserved to be treated.
If you bought a brand new car, you would take care of it and feed it the best gas that’s needed for it, clean it, take it to the mechanic for regular check-ups. Well, you see, sometimes we end up taking care of material things better than we take care of our own bodies and that is extremely sad!
If you think about it, We are born in this body and it carries us throughout years and years of life. It does so much for us so we should treat it like the gift that it is.
The second I realized all of this, my mindset shifted and so did my body… both internally and externally. I felt more energized and a lot more clear minded. So all and all, this quote is to make us think twice about what we put in our bodies. Which leads me to today’s recipe!!
Healthy Strawberry and Cream Oatmeal Recipe for Two!
Since I am a spring baby I am obsessed with all spring foods (mainly all the fruits if we are being honest…)
I have such a big sweet tooth and I am able to satisfy it by eating fruits! Of course, there are days where I wake up and I have the biggest cravings for a donut or a slice of cake…
So to remedy that today, I woke up and thought long and hard at a way to shut this craving down. Of course, my initial thought was to have some fruits and head to the gym. But since I knew I was gonna have a long and tedious workout, I figured I needed something that would sustain me a little more.
I got up and started thinking about an oatmeal and fruit recipe until it hit me! I had previously made a strawberry and cream overnight oatmeal. Why not make a hot strawberry and cream oatmeal recipe that I could enjoy right away!
