     Have you heard of Savory Oatmeal!?  Whelp, me neither...until my friend Jill mentioned that she started her day with savory oats versus sweet oats, and that it stuck with her longer.  It made me stop and go hmmmm.  So what is a girl to do but give it a whirl herself, ...she had me at staying power.  Each of these two servings are only 365 calories, 47.5g carbs, 12.5g fiber, 35g net carbs, 16g protein and 13g fat (Salad and Garnish not included).  After perusing those macros, I now know why it is a morning dream come true!  If you try it, let me know how you feel about the savory vs sweet debate...and, if you get a Risotto vibe bubbling up!  ;)

Ingredients for two servings~

1/2 cup Steel Cut Oats

2 cups Water 

1 cup chopped fresh Broccoli

1 cup torn fresh Kale

1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast

1 Tablespoon Coconut Aminos

1/4 cup chopped Walnuts

     Bring Water to boil in saucepan, add Oats, reduce to simmer for 20 minutes, during last two minutes stir in Broccoli and Kale.  When finished cooking, stir in Nutritional Yeast and Coconut Aminos.  Divide into two equal portions and top each with 2 Tablespoons chopped Walnuts.  If desired, serve over a bed of fresh Baby Spinach Leaves and chopped Kale, and top with Tomatoes and Onion.  Enjoy :)
