Grapefruit Avocado Oatmeal

Don't freak out. I know it looks and sounds strange, but...just give it a chance!

It's verging on a savory oatmeal, but it's definitely still sweet. It's inspired by one of my favorite salads, grapefruit segments and avocado slices piled on a heap of spinach. Mmmm. If you're hankering to try savory oats, but are still too scared to make the jump, this might be a good transition recipe for you. The grapefruit is flavorful, but the avocado is rich and creamy. As long as you like avocado (and I really, really do), you'll enjoy this.

You just have to get the courage to try it. :)

Ingredients (serves 1)

• 1/2 a grapefruit
• 1 cup milk of choice, or water
• 1/2 cup rolled oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
• 1 tsp lemon juice, or 1/8 tsp lemon extract
• 1/3 ripe avocado
• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prep your grapefruit.
2. Bring milk (I use 1/2 c original almond milk and 1/2 c water) to a boil, add oats, and reduce heat to medium. (If using chia or flax seeds, add now. I recommend chia.)
3. Add in your grapefruit segments and stir until they break apart. (I also saved some segments for the topping.)
4. Once more of the liquid has absorbed, add lemon juice and salt. Stir.
5. Dice in avocado and fold into oatmeal.
6. When you're pleased with the consistency of the oatmeal, transfer to a bowl. Add a splash of your milk of choice and any other additional toppings (more avocado, shredded coconut, nuts, etc.). I used pepitas.
