Berry Kiwi Oatmeal

My two weeks of professional development training are over! Next time I return to the school, it will be with actual students. Hurray!

This also means summer is coming to an end, and I'm on a frantic mission to enjoy all the summer fruits while they're still around. With a bowl of oatmeal, naturally. :)

Ingredients (serves 1)

• 1 cup milk of choice, or water
• 1/2 cup rolled oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
• 1/4 cup (or more) fresh or frozen blueberry (or any berry)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1 kiwi, peeled

Instructions

1. Bring milk (I use an equal mixture of almond milk and water) to a boil, add oats, and reduce heat to medium. (If you'd like to add flax or chia seeds, do so now.)
2. If using frozen berries, add now. If using fresh, wait. Give the oats a minute to cook on their own.
3. Once more of the liquid has absorbed, add vanilla extract, a tiny pinch of salt, and cinnamon. Stir.
4. Peel kiwi and dice into the saucepan.
5. If you'd like to add any extra ingredients (coconut oil, dried fruit, nuts, sunflower seeds), do so now.
6. When you're pleased with the consistency of the oatmeal, add berries (if using fresh) and gently fold them into the oats. Transfer to a bowl. Serve with another splash of your milk of choice and any other additional toppings (shredded coconut, nuts, more berries/kiwi, etc.).
