Non-Elderly Oatmeal with Goji Berries
Non-Elderly Oatmeal with Goji Berries
Dinosaur oatmeal was essentially my first introduction to science. How did the eggs disappear to reveal sprinkle dino children? Why do the T. rex and triceratops on the box literally salivate over the idea of eating their babies? It’s a lot to take in, but truly defined a pivotal state of my childhood development. While dinosaur oatmeal isn’t appropriate in adulthood (actually, I take that back: it’s always appropriate), you can liven up standard oatmeal with an impressive array of healthy ingredients such as goji berries and hemp seeds to take it from nursing home staple to “Ohhhh, child, are you Chef Girlardee?” levels of yum.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
The oat milk adds a little extra creaminess and enhances the oat flavor, but feel free to use any milk you desire, including coconut milk, nut milk, or cow’s milk.
