The "Mama Needs Energy" Breaky Bowl
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 2 cups of almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of honey (or your sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 cup of mixed berries or effectively whatever berried tragedy you find in the crisper drawer
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- A sprinkle of cinnamon
- For the extra daring: a spoonful of peanut butter

- Once the concoction resembles porridge, add in the honey (or tell yourself it's dessert-worthy), the berries, and the sneakily nutritious chia seeds.
- While stirring, sprinkle in a dash of cinnamon—bonus points if you feel like a kitchen witch.
- Pour into your most Instagrammable bowl. Yes, even if it’s chipped; battle scars are chic.
- Top with a spoonful of peanut butter for that oomph. Congratulations, you’ve made yourself a meal that suits a queen.
- Mixed greens (make it hip by saying "Spring Mix")
- 1 avocado
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (because no mom has time for slicing)
- Feta cheese, because crumbly goodness = happiness
- A handful of walnuts or whatever crunchy morsel you can find
- Your fave dressing—well-deserved indulgence
- Toss all your ingredients into a large bowl with gusto. You’re channeling your inner salad artisan!
- Throw in the walnuts for crunch. If you get carried away and add chips—hey, no judgments here.
- Drizzle with dressing. Give it a toss. Look at that, a salad masterpiece. Jamie Oliver, eat your heart out!
- Consume while having your fifth sing-along of the day to nursery rhymes.
