I know it’s due time to make something again when I find myself mentioning said something at inopportune times. The ability to work ‘egg white oatmeal’ into a conversation while your favorite band is playing? Too weird for words…
So egg white oatmeal for breakfast it is. I veered from my usual recipe by using coconut milk and blackberry preserves rather than water and butter. Not only does the coconut milk vegan-ize this morning favorite, but it is made up of short and medium-chain fatty acids that turn quickly into energy rather than storing as fat. More energy in the morning? Umm, yes!
And as I’m fighting off a not yet nasty cold, I was pleased to find out that this addition to my breakfast was a smarter move than I initially thought. Coconuts are well known for their antiviral properties and could very well be the perfect partner in this below-the-weather battle.
