Oatmeal

Maybe its the Scottish in me that makes me love oatmeal, but I stick by my claim that oatmeal is the best thing to eat for breakfast. The fiber fills you up, the whole grains are good for you, and it's a good supply of iron.
I love Whole Foods' 365 Organic Multi Grain Instant Oatmeal with Flax. It has only 140 calories and 4 grams of fiber.
Add any (or all!) of these fabulous additions : dried or fresh fruit (especially berries!), soymilk, chopped nuts, splenda or truvia, and/or granola. Since my office has tons of different coffee creamers, I add half of a tsp of hazelnut coffee creamer.

Here are links to delicious recipes from some of my favorite Food Network stars...
