Notes
This oatmeal, packed full of nuts, fruit, and flavor, will get you ready for the hiking trail. It will also see you out the door with some serious nutritional benefits even if you're heading to the office and not the woods. So breathe in that fresh air and enjoy the beautiful morning. And don't worry; this breakfast is hearty and will keep you full until lunch. Feel free to top this oatmeal with milk, additional sweetener, and blackberries and raspberries if desired.
