Protein Oatmeal with Fruit and Walnuts

As I sit here munching on my apple, I'm reminded of just how good eating well can taste.  There's nothing quite like nature's little food gifts like apples, peaches, and such.  Well, here's a great breakfast that includes a bunch of nature's perfect foods.

To serve 1 person, cook 3/4 cup of instant oats according to the package directions.  Stir in 1 scoop of your preferred brand of vanilla protein powder (though you can add chocolate).  I personally like my oatmeal a little on the soft side, so I add a little skim milk after the fact.

Slice 4 or 5 medium strawberries and get a handful of blackberries and raspberries to add to the oatmeal.  Sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top and you're all set.

This meal contains some great natural fiber in the oatmeal and some healthy omega fatty acids in the nuts.  The berries add excellent flavor to what would otherwise be bland oatmeal.

Enjoy!
