Hearty Winter Oatmeal

Keep those energy levels up!

During the winter months, many of us get the blues or simply feel like hibernating. There are plenty of scientific reasons why, most notably the lack of light and sunshine, which you can help remedy with a light therapy lamp. Your energy levels can also dip, which makes eating for energy so important. One thing you can eat to help stabilize your energy is oatmeal.

What's awesome about oatmeal is that it's as versatile as can be, with your mind as your only limit, and it's a good delivery system for any nutrients you can pack into it. You can pack your oatmeal with antioxidants and healthful nutrients and get so many requirements met in one meal! When my daughter was a toddler, I'd add honey, blueberries, cinnamon, flaxseed and other healthy ingredients to her plain oatmeal and boy did she love it. I sure wish she still did at age 12!
