4 Ways to do Oatmeal

Oatmeal is the go-to Clean Eating breakfast, it is low in fat, stabilizes insulin levels and it has loads of fiber which means it keeps you full all morning long. It's also fast and easy to make, just as easy as pouring a bowl of cereal.

But who can eat plain old oatmeal day after day? Here are my own personal recipes for oatmeal that I like to rotate between.
