<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oatmeal in the morning doesn't grow old. There's something about holding that warm bowl of amazing, healthy goodness in your hands that can start the day a whole lot better (and of course coffee too!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This clean eating recipe I am going to share with you today is a marriage of two wonderful ingredients added in the oatmeal that just fits right - lemon and blueberries. Can you smell it already?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This recipe got some egg whites added in it but don't you worry - that's an added feature that'll benefit you! It's an added protein plus you won't see it in the bowl if you mix it fast and you won't taste it either. You'll just fall in love with the lemons and blueberries! I swear!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What you need: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 cup steel-cut oats</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 cups water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 egg whites</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 cup fresh blueberries</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">honey to taste or you may use agave nectar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What you need to do:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bring water to a boil using a medium-sized pot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once boiling, add the oats, lemon zest then cover. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When water is reduced, add in egg white - you need to beat or mix fast in this stage! Don't stop stirring until the egg whites are cooked. Indication is you will see the mixture turn white. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When oats are cooked, top with the fresh blueberries, agave or honey! Enjoy!</span></div>

Bikini Competition update: intolerance to oatmeal and sweet potato scramble

Ahhhh the countdown has begun.... I am now 3 weeks and 2 days till my first bikini competition. My original plan was to do the Pittsburgh pro on May 3rd but, i was not leaning out as quickly as I had hoped.<br />
<br />
I have been very diligent with my morning and evening cardio and daily split workout routine but, for some reason i was still very bloated.... My diet is very clean and I currently am only eating a few foods. After looking closer at my diet I decided to remove my favorite breakfast item... oatmeal. I did not know if it would make a difference and not something that I really wanted to do but, I just felt off! I was lethargic, bloated, and I knew that there had to be something that was contributing to my belly bloat.<br />
<br />

I love my morning oatmeal so, it was a sad sad day for me when I realized that oatmeal was the culprit to bloating. I have now been without my beloved morning oats for 7 days and I feel great!<br />
I have always had this little intuition that I might be gluten sensitive but, I never have eaten so clean in my life so could never fully pinpoint that would be the issue. Thankfully, they make gluten free oatmeal so I will be giving that I try when my competition comes to the end.<br />
<br />
In the meanwhile, I had to find a way to replace my morning oats with another complex carbohydrate. So, Sweet potatoes it is.....<br />
<br />
I created this morning masterpiece that is soooo delicious. It is one of those things that you have to try before you knock it!<br />

I admit that I have a weakness for chocolate! I just can't get enough of it! I have come to the realization that I just can't buy it! My willpower is just not strong enough! <br>
<br>
0h well! Today is day one of starting my journey of really track<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><br>
<span class="text_exposed_show">ing my macros! I have done a lot of research on IIFYM and it makes complete sense to me! I will continue to eat a nutrient dense diet but, if my chocolate addiction can fit my macros without the guilt then I am on board. <br>
<br>
I eat for my health and for my goals! Currently trying to build some muscle so cals and carbs are going uppity up! <br>
<br>
Any of you just starting #iifym and want to support each other in the progress?? <br>

1 cup unsweetened, vanilla almond milk<br>
2 tbsp shredded coconut, unsweetened<br>

Prepare the oats according to your favorite method, stove top or microwave. Once cooked, stir in the coconut, almonds and salt and top with chocolate chips.<br>
<br>
You can eat it like that, or sir in the chocolate so it gets melty and gooey. It may not seem like it will be sweet enough because of the unsweetened milk and coconut, but the chocolate is just enough to make up for it.</span></div></span><br>

<strong><span style="color: black;">Carrot Cake Oatmeal</span></strong> <br />
<strong>Yield</strong><em>: 2 servings</em><br />
Ingredients:<br />
<ul><li>1 heaping cup finely grated carrot (about 1 large)</li>
<li>1 cup almond milk</li>
<li>2 tbsp full-fat coconut milk cream (or use more almond milk)</li>
<li>1 tsp ground cinnamon, to taste</li>
<li>1/4 tsp ground ginger</li>
<li>1/8th tsp ground nutmeg</li>
<li>pinch of salt</li>
<li>1/2 cup regular oats</li>
<li>1 tsp pure vanilla extract</li>
<li>1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional)</li>
<li>2 tbsp chopped walnuts, divided</li>
<li>2 tbsp raisins, divided</li>
<li>2 tbsp pure maple syrup</li>
<li>1 tbsp coconut milk cream + 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup, to garnish (optional)</li>
</ul><strong>Directions</strong>: Finely grate 1 heaping cup of grated carrots. You want to use the fine grate and not the large one so the carrot shreds are very small. This helps the carrot blend in more.<br />
In a medium sized pot over medium heat, whisk together the almond milk, optional coconut milk cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt.<br />
Stir in the grated carrots and oats. Adjust heat if necessary or bring heat to low if it starts to boil. Cook for about 8-9 minutes, stirring frequently. When the mixture has thickened up, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, 1 tbsp walnuts, 1 tbsp raisins, and 2 tbsp of maple syrup. Remove from heat and portion into bowls.<br />
Top the oatmeal with the remaining walnuts and raisins. If you are using coconut cream, you can mix a bit of the cream with maple syrup and drizzle on top of the oatmeal, as shown in the photo. Sprinkle with cinnamon for garnish.<br />
<br />
Enjoy and lick the bowl clean!<br />
