On the days I don’t have cottage cheese oatmeal, I have my eggbeaters or eggwhites oatmeal.

Polinutrigirl’s Eggbeaters Oatmeal

1/2 cup Quaker rolled oats

1/2 cup frozen blueberries or strawberries (any frozen berries will do)

2 tablespoons of flaxseed

3/4 cup plain eggbeaters or liquid egg whites.

Put the eggbeaters in a glass container and microwave for about 2:15 minutes.  They should be puffy when done but not overly dry.

Put oatmeal, flaxseed and frozen fruit in bowl, cover with water, and microwave for 2:30 minutes.  Add more water if necessary.

Stir cooked eggbeaters into oatmeal and microwave again until desired hotness.

I’m a morning person, and breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I always have oats, one of the healthiest foods in existence. I make sure to have a filling, healthy and tasty breakfast each morning to fuel my day, whether I am working out afterwards or after a long day at work.  Here is what I eat for breakfast each morning:

Polinutrigirl’s Cottage Cheese Oatmeal

1/2 cup rolled oats (I use Quaker) *

1/2 cup 1% or 2% cottage cheese

1/2 cup frozen strawberries or blueberries (you can use any frozen berries) and

2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds.

Put the oatmeal, flaxseed and frozen berries in a bowl with water covering the ingredients and microwave for about 2:30 minutes.  Take out and add a little water if necessary.  Stir in the cottage cheese and microwave again until warm.
