That’s right. I finally weened The Husband off GMO-tastic Cheerios. They have that ubiquitous “Whole Grain” stamp on them, but they’re loaded with GMOs. So I can’t stress to you enough how huge this was for me.
HUGE.
How’d I do it?
As always, I’m so glad you asked.
Answer: BABY STEPS!!!
It was, at times, a bit tricky. The husband was not always thrilled. But after trying countless organic cereals to a less than enthusiastic response, we finally found some honey flakes that worked great. I was happy.
But then I thought I’d try one more thing…
…because box cereals are still processed and there are healthier options out there…
So what’s he eating now?
That’s just the best damn part.
He’s now eating and loving…drumroll, please…
HUBBY OATS!
(It ain’t so pretty but it’s oh-so-tasty)
Ingredients (all organic)
1/3 cup of Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
1/4 cup-ish of homemade cashew milk (basically, just enough to wet the oats without being really wet and sloshy)
1 tsp of chia seeds
2 tbsp of raisins
1 tbsp of dried currants
2 dried figs (he asked for more of those without even knowing – didn’t see that one coming!)
1/2 banana
1 tbsp of organic peanut butter
1 tbsp of chopped walnuts
1 tsp of coconut sugar
a sprinkle of salt
shakes of cinnamon
What Do I Do?
Put it all in a bowl and mix it up. No heating necessary. Serve.
You could add berries, hemp seeds, different nuts. The sky’s kind of the limit on this one. And it’s so easy being a one-pot-dish. Have fun with it and report back on what you add in!
