Whatcha Eatin?

I do like a good bowl of oatmeal, but I like the low-to-no cooking aspect of a smoothie sometimes. It's kind of my go-to "sweet" snack food, I think.

during the week I don't "cook" my oatmeal - I put 1/4 cup rolled oats in a bowl with water, molasses, a date and a few crumbs of soy curls and microwave it on high for a minute - then I add my frozen berries and put it back in for another minute and a half - then I take it out and add all the other items... ground flax, hemp hearts, powdered peanut butter, dark cocoa, turmeric/pepper, greens powder, vit c/zinc powder, cayenne powder, banana, cinnamon, a few chopped walnuts

On Saturdays I make steel cut oats and those I do 'cook'.

That would work. I have a small kitchen, so I use my microwave as storage lol. I have a number of other gadgets that take priority since I've been learning to make things from scratch. One of these days, I'll rearrange the space to be more efficient, but the problem is there are no days I'm not cooking in it.

I always make my steel cut oats that way. 1/3 cup oats in a 4 cup measuring cup, 3/4 cup water, a little salt. Stir, put it in the microwave WITHOUT A COVER (I learned this the hard way, it will boil over and make a mess with a cover on), cook it on high for 2 minutes and it's done. Pour it into a bowl, add some maple syrup and sliced bananas and it's a winner!

I think I remembered all the ingredients: smoothie with rolled oats, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, hemp hearts, beet root powder, cacao powder, cinnamon, cayenne, sea salt,, banana, carrot, spinach, antioxidant berry blend, honey, and quinoa rejuvelac.
 
I bought some Violife cream cheese. and I'm having bagels everyday with the hope the cream cheese won't go bad before I finish it. I got some Bagel Thins, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, and Trader Joes Everything but the bagel Bagel Seasoning. But with all the bagels there is not room for oatmeal. So I had to freeze the remaining strawberries and bananas and blueberries I have for cereal.
 
A Peanut Butter-Chocolate Oatmilk Latte. A breakfast sandwich of 1/2 a Just Egg Omelet left from supper last night, a slice of Violife Mature Cheddar, a Gardein Original Sausage Patty on an English Muffin.
For lunch I made Fish Burgers with Gardein Golden Filets on a Dempster Classic Hamburger Bun with mayo and romaine.
A Farm Boy Vegan Chocolate Chip cookie for dessert.

What do you think of the Violife? I still like Tofutti best but the Violife comes in a close second for me.
 
I just bought stuff to make a tomato, cucumber and red onion salad but I got too hungry by the time I got in and and I had toast and coffee instead.

I'm going to make the salad now and have it with dinner tonight as we are having burgers.
 
An English Toffee Oatmilk Latte. I've got a migraine today so just ate a slice of sourdough rye toast with peanut butter to prevent a problem with the Tylenol I took.
For lunch I made Shepherd's Pie, fried up Beyond Beef, Onions, added 2 cups of frozen Peas & Carrots, added Franco American Mushroom Gravy, topped with mashed potatoes and baked for 1/2 hour.
A Farm Boy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie and a little piece of Lindt Dark Chocolate Orange for dessert.
