Breakfast:<\/p>\n

\n

Steel cut oatmeal or quick oats. Add cinnamon, almonds, berries and 2 drops of Stevia or 1 tsp of pure maple syrup to sweeten.
\n<\/p>\n

Easy Oatmeal Recipe:
\n1 cup quick rolled oats (Gluten free is best)
\nJust enough hot water to cover oatmeal
\nPinch of cinnamon
\n2 drops Stevia or 1 tsp pure maple syrup to sweeten
\nBlueberries
\nRaw slivered almonds

Place oats in a bowl and add enough hot water to cover the oats. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add all of the other ingredients. Enjoy this quick and nutritious breakfast.<\/p>\n

Thick rolled oats are better than quick oats, but many people do not have time to cook oats in the morning. This is why I have suggested quick oats for those of you rushed for time in the morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mid-morning snack:<\/p>\n

1 or 2 soft boiled eggs OR
\nProtein smoothie with:
\nclean protein powder,
\nnut milk or coconut water,
