Five Days of Oats: Day 4

I was cleaning out my office cabinets yesterday and came across some Cranberry Pomegranate Green Tea I’ve had for forever. I decided to have a mug of it this a.m. since my office was kind of chilly.

As I was sipping my tea, I wondered I don’t drink it more often- it has so many health benefits and it’s yummy! But after I finished the mug, I suddenly became very nauseated. I forgot that tea can give me problems unless I drink it with food. I guess that’s why there’s still so much of it left!

For lunch today I had savory oats. You knew I could not have oats 5 days in a row and not douse at least one batch of them in hot sauce. Come on now! It may be rather controversial of me to say this, but in the battle of peanut butter versus hot sauce – hot sauce wins with me every time.

This bowl included 1/2 cup oats, 2 egg whites, 1/2 an avocado, hot sauce and a dusting of feta. Foodgasmic for sure.

I love sweet oatmeal, but I am far and away more of a savory person than a sweet person so I was super satisfied with this lunch.

Only one more day to go! I wonder if I’ve lowered my cholesterol this week, bahaha.

I’m currently listening to The Flaming Lips’ new album Embryonic streaming live from Colbert Nation. If your into them, you should do so too!

Check out the song Do You Realize, which is talked about in said interview, my Brother and SIL walked down the aisle to it
