Make Your Own Oatmeals-To-Go

I eat oatmeal every single day during the week. I bring it with me to work, then eat my breakfast at my desk while checking all the emails that piled up since yesterday. It's warm, easy to make, filling and healthy. Can't beat it!

Up until recently, we've been buying the Quaker Instant Oatmeal packets. Each packet contains somewhere between 12-15 grams of sugar. For reference, 13 grams of sugar is a tablespoon of sugar. In each packet. Way more than you might've thought, eh?

Below is the easiest way to save money and make your breakfast even healthier.

Ingredients (per packet):
1/2 cup Quick cooking oats
1 tsp. Truvia
1 tsp. Cinnamon, or to taste

Add ingredients to a sandwich baggie. When ready to eat, add packet to bowl. Just cover oatmeal with water. Put bowl in microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Then put back in for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, watching to make sure it doesn't bubble over the edge. Voila!

Then save and reuse your baggies. Brilliant!
