My eight year old pushes away her pancakes. “Can I have sour cream…please?” She looks up at me with her big green eyes framed in a tiny face. I’m not sure how this child stays alive. She will eat a bowl of straight sour cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But recently, she asked for a bite of something I eat every single day.
Here is a recipe that changed my life. I kid you not. I usually eat this as an I’m-too-tired-to-prepare-elaborate-food-night-snack, but it also works for breakfast, lunch and even dinner. All my picky eaters love this. Does anyone else feel the weight of this reality? My picky eaters are consuming uncooked whole oats! Are you kidding me? They watched me eat this for a month before asking for a bite, but were hooked from then on.
Here’s how I put it together: mix all the powdered stuff first, then pour on milk and top with blueberries. Voila! A healthy snack in less than a minute! Let’s hear a big round of applause for Holly Crouse who submitted this idea on my Facebook page when I begged for healthy breakfast recipes.
1/2 c whole uncooked oats
1/2 cashew milk (almond and soy work also)
2 Tb PB2 or an powdered peanut butter product
2 tsp Truvia Baking Blend (or desired sweetener)
frozen blueberries
