Day 14 | Green Oatmeal

Chase's green oatmeal.

To continue with the morning theme, here's what a typical breakfast looks like. Chase's green oatmeal (see recipe below) has recently started being doctored up with Cheerios and/or blueberries and he takes his banana "cut up" these days. Most mornings, Robbe is at the table with us but today he slept in. :)

I know the thought of veggies in oatmeal is not particularly appetizing for most of us but Chase has never known any different and I love that he gets a decent serving of veggies in with his first meal. If he doesn't fight it, I'm not mixing it up. And so far, since he was about 9 months old, he's gobbled it right up. 

Green oatmeal:

1/3 cup old fashioned oats

1/3 cup water 

1/3 cup almond milk 

1 cube broccoli (I freeze the blended veggies in ice cube trays)

1 cube kale

Sprinkle of Cheerios and/or blueberries

Heavy sprinkle of flax seed

Directions:

Microwave oats, water and milk for 2 minutes. Stir in frozen cubes. Add flax seed and any extras once cubes are dispersed.
