Last week, I found this Ancient Grain & Super Seeds Oatmeal at Trader Joe’s. I couldn’t wait to try it out and it tastes amazing! It has quinoa flakes, amaranth flakes and almonds as well as sunflower, pumpkin, chia, hemp and flaxseed in it. It is gluten free, a great source of whole grains, healthy fats and omegas!

I added some of my favorite protein powder to it which made it even healthier and gives my kids some much needed protein in their breakfast! I like adding the protein – especially because it contains pre- and probiotics as well as omegas. If you do this, make sure your protein can be heated – many protein powders won’t withstand the heat.

Let me know how you liked it,
