12 Homemade Instant Oatmeal Recipes

HOMEMADE & HEALTHY INSTANT OATMEAL PACKET RECIPES

These DIY instant oatmeal packets are so easy to assemble. Make a bunch in advance to keep on hand for those busy mornings when you don't have time to make breakfast. You can mix these oatmeal packets with hot water and enjoy a healthy hot breakfast in a jiffy. They're also great to take along to work or on trips. It's easy to make these gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.

WHY ARE THESE HEALTHIER?

whole grain rolled oats

chia seeds -- these tiny seeds have big health benefits yet a neutral taste so they disappear into the mix

oat bran -- to boost the mix with more heart-healthy fiber (read about the special health benefits of oat bran here)

sweetener customized to your personal preference

non-fat powdered milk -- adds protein & calcium along with creaminess to the texture and taste. In case you're wondering if it's better to use fresh whole milk....well, yes. But these are DRY instant oatmeal packets, so fresh milk isn't an option. The health concerns about oxidized cholesterol in powdered milk aren't an issue if you use the non-fat kind. source. If you prefer, you can omit the powdered milk altogether.

Substitutions? Go for it! Every ingredient is optional, except the oats. You can omit, reduce, or make substitutions for any of the other ingredients.

substitute ground flax or hemp seed for the chia seeds

substitute wheat bran or wheat germ for the oat bran

substitute protein powder for the powdered milk

gluten-free option -- use gluten-free rolled oats and oat bran

dairy-free or vegan option -- omit the powdered milk

STORE BOUGHT BRANDS ARE LOADED WITH PRESERVATIVES, ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, GMO'S, SODIUM & COLORS

Here's how to make Healthy Instant Oatmeal Packets in 12 flavors

Choose from 3 kinds of rolled oats. They are all surprisingly similar in nutrients. The quick and instant oats are digested more quickly, so they don't do quite as good a job as the old fashioned oats at keeping you feeling full and stabilizing blood sugars. However, my healthy ingredient additions to the mix more than compensate, making use of quick and instant oats very healthy. Quick and instant oats are normally preferred in these oatmeal packets because they are ready to eat simply by adding boiling water to them. Old fashioned oats, on the other hand, need to be cooked in the microwave or on the stove top; so the choice is yours as to just how "instant" you want your oatmeal packets to be.

Choose your preferred dry sweetener.

Below are a few options that taste especially good in oatmeal: coconut sugar, sucanat (dried sugar cane juice), pure maple sugar (dried maple syrup), or brown sugar. For Sugar-Free Option, Stevia is an all natural substitute.

Here are the basic ingredients for a plain instant oatmeal packet:

rolled oats

chia seeds

oat bran

powdered milk

salt.

Add fruit, if you like.

To the basic oatmeal mix, you can add any kind of fruit that you like. There are 2 categories of dried fruit used in oatmeal packets:

Freeze-dried fruit -- Healthy alternative to fresh fruit. It is nothing but fruit--no additives at all. It can be eaten as is for a crunchy, healthy snack. It's perfect in these oatmeal packets because it re-hydrates instantly when mixed with water

Dried or dehydrated fruit -- This is the more widely available option. It also works well in these oatmeal packets. However, read the packaging labels; often dried fruits have undesirable additives. When dried, this shrivels and is denser than fresh fruit, so use less of it than fresh or freeze-dried fruit.

Add nuts of your choice

More dry, flavorful ingredients.

Here are some of the additional flavors that can be added to oatmeal packets: dehydrated coconut, PB2 (powdered peanut butter), dried orange peel, crystallized ginger, ground vanilla bean powder, unsweetened cocoa, instant espresso powder.

1. Label the top of the bags you'll be using.

That way, you can store your oatmeal packets upright in a basket or container and easily flip through them to find the flavor you want. It's much easier to label the bags while they are empty and flat. Ziploc snack size bags work great and are widely available at grocery stores. If you prefer not to use plastic, you can use an airtight container (like jars). Paper bags are not recommended, because they are porous and will result in a drastically reduced shelf life of the ingredients.

2. Add the basic oatmeal mixture ingredients to each bag.

Once the oats are added, the bottom of the bags flattens enough for them to stand upright. So, you can line your bags up and use an assembly line method for filling them with each ingredient.

3. Add fruit, nuts, and other flavors.

If you've pre-labeled the bags, this step goes much more quickly. Seal the bags tightly to keep any humidity out; this extends their shelf life.

How to make hot (or cold) oatmeal (3 methods)

1. Hot Water Method.

(works with quick or instant oats, but not with old-fashioned oats). Pour an oatmeal packet into a heat tolerant mug or bowl, pour in 2/3 c. boiling water, stir, and let stand until thickened. Instant oats are ready in 2-3 minutes. Quick oats are ready in 4-5 minutes.

2. Microwave Method.

(works with old-fashioned, quick, or instant oats) Pour oatmeal packet into a microwave safe bowl/mug that is big enough for oatmeal to double in volume as it cooks. Add 3/4 cup cold water. Microwave on high, 3 min. for old-fashioned oats, 2 min. for quick oats, 1 min. for instant oats. (microwave power and times may vary).

3. No-Cook Refrigerator Method

Works with old-fashioned, quick, or instant oats. Add an oatmeal packet to a pint or half-pint jar (or another covered container). use half-pint jars. Pour in 1/2 cup cold water, add 1/4 cup yogurt, cover, and shake vigorously until well mixed. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, overnight, or up to 3 days. They thicken into a creamy mixture that is intended to be eaten cold; however, you can heat them if you prefer.

12 Instant Oatmeal Packet Flavor Varieties

These are some of the examples, but you can use the same formula to combine your own favorite ingredients. Get creative...the sky's the limit! Refer to the printable recipe at the end of this post for exact ingredient amounts.

1. Plain -- Basic recipe with no added flavors

2. Apple Cinnamon Maple -- add chopped dried apples, more cinnamon, and use maple sugar as the sweetener.

Blueberry -- add freeze-dried blueberries.

Cherry Almond -- add dried cherries and sliced almonds.

Apricot Ginger -- add chopped dried apricots and minced crystallized ginger.

Cranberry Orange Pecan -- add dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and dried orange peel.

Pineapple Coconut -- add freeze-dried pineapple and dehydrated unsweetened coconut.

Raspberry Vanilla Bean -- add freeze-dried raspberries and ground vanilla bean powder.

Peach (or Mango) Macadamia Nut -- add chopped dried white peaches and chopped macadamia nuts.

10. Cocoa Banana -- add chopped freeze-dried bananas and unsweetened cocoa. freeze-dried bananas work best

11. Peanut Butter Banana -- add chopped freeze-dried bananas and PB2 powdered peanut butter. In case you aren't familiar with PB2, it is peanut butter with most of the fat removed, but the protein and nutrition left intact. It's a dry powder that is perfect for adding flavor to these dry oatmeal mixes.

12. Mocha -- add instant espresso powder and unsweetened cocoa.

CREATE YOUR OWN

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Add your favorite flavors and enjoy a hot or cold healthy instant oatmeal

21 Healthy Bed Time Snacks That Are Good For You

Are Bed Time Snacks Healthy?

To eat before bed or not eat before bed? That is the question…no longer with these 21 healthy bed time snacks if hunger strikes.

Many health blogs, bro-science and personal trainers will tell you that “eating at night is bad”—scaring you with claims that it “slows metabolism,” “makes you gain weight,” or “spikes insulin (blood sugar) levels.”

For instance, a 2013 study found that, out of the 420 overweight and obese participants enrolled in a five-month weight loss program, the ”late eaters” (people classified as eating their biggest meal after 3pm) lost “significantly less weight” and took longer to lose it, than the “early eaters”, (those who ate their main meal before 3pm).

Another study from 2005, found that late-night eating (within 3 hours of bed time) was positively linked to indigestion and acid reflux

However, many of these claims and “research” have been skewed!

The missing links the “Don’t-Eat-Late-At-Night” myth often fails to consider is the OVERALL intake of food and eating patterns of people—throughout the day—plus heathy digestion.

Were these people eating balanced, real foods throughout the day (or dieting all day long, to then “binge” or overeat at night)?

Did they support their digestion with probiotics, digestive enzymes and/or hydro-chloric acid, or were they 3 in 4 Americans who already had some sort of “digestive dysfunction” to start?

What were they eating for their late night meal anyways?—Pizza and ice cream, or salmon or chicken with veggies and sweet potatoes?

As you can see, research CAN be skewed. There are healthy bed times snacks.

Nevertheless, newer more cutting edge research—digging deeper—has found that late night eating is NOT as detrimental as once thought.

In this research review, Kimsy & Ormsby, 2015, of more than 70 studies, the authors sought to look at BOTH sides of the “late night eating” dilemma to understand the real truths.

Their conclusion?

Nighttime consumption of a small snack of both single nutrients or mixed-meals does not appear to be harmful, and actually may be more beneficial for muscle protein synthesis and metabolism.

In other words: The “don’t eat before bed” myth is so 1992.

Other research confirms these finding, debunking many common myths about late night eating you, too, may have believed. For instance:

Myth: Carbs Are Bad to Eat at Night

Truth: Real food carbs—eaten with dinner, or a small snack—can promote more balanced insulin levels over night, improved sleep and boosted mood (raising serotonin ), greater fat oxidation (fat burning).

Myth: Eat Your Biggest Meal at Noon

Truth: Ever wonder why you feel sleepy after lunch time or why that 3 pm energy slip hits? Digestion takes lots of work (on all your body systems) , and when eat a larger meal mid-day, or don’t balance our meals throughout the day, our digestion can take energy away from your other energy needs. Eating lunch is not a “bad” thing, but strictly aiming to eat a “bigger” meal mid-day and restrict calories at night can leave you feeling lethargic. In addition, since cortisol levels are higher typically during the day (when you’re in “go mode”), this can equally slow down the rate at which you digest your food (since your body is more stressed out with higher cortisol patterns). Eating at night can allow you to absorb and fully digest the nutrient rich foods you eat.

Myth: Late Night Eating Makes You Gain Weight

Truth: The real reason people “gain weight” when they at at night? They typically restrict their food during the day, setting them up for more stress (cortisol) and metabolic dysfunction, plus a feeding frenzy or “earning their food” mentality at night after “being good all day.” There is not ONE optimal time for every human body. Since our schedules, genetic makeups and lifestyles are all completely different, the ideal times of day we eat are different too. Whereas a 23-year-old fitness enthusiast may thrive upon eating three meals and a snack or two during the day, another person may thrive upon intermittent fasting—eating their food for the day in a 8-12 hour window, and another person, say an emergency room nurse who is up at 5 a.m. for her shift thrives off of eating earlier in the day.

Myth: Late Night Eating Gives You Acid Reflux & Won’t Digest

Truth: Not necessarily. While, optimal digestion DOES happen in “rest and digest” mode (i.e. sleep) and eating too much or too close to bed can negatively impact the quality of your sleep, for others, eating a bed time snack or meal before bed actually improves their ability to sleep (especially if it has the amino acid Tryptophan or Magenisum in the meal). Moreover, digestion doesn’t suddenly stall if you eat at night—(particularly if you’re not overly full). Ultimately, this is where self-experimentation happens. Do you feel worse or better if you eat close to bed? Let that be your guide.

Bonus Digestion Tip: If you DO eat closer to bed, or feel fuller prior to bed, try propping your head semi-upright to rest can be beneficial for supporting the “north to south” process of digestion. In addition, healthy digestive practices can help promote improved digestion if you eat closer to bed as well, including: taking probiotics and eating fermented foods daily, chewing your food well, digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid (if you get ‘reflux’ or have low stomach acid) and/or apple cider vinegar, etc.), and, of course, eating real foods.

THE BOTTOM LINE

What matters more than eating at night or not?

What you eat over the course of 24-hours in a day (consistently); and

Your digestion—Are you digesting the foods you eat (regardless of whether or not you eat at night)?

In other words: If you are eating appropriate amounts of food, for your body type and health (no matter the time of day), PLUS digesting your food well, then “late night eating” is not a bad thing.

BED TIME SNACKS: YAY OR NAY?

So should you eat before bed?

Yes and no.

The bigger question is: What type of hungry are you?

Are you just eating or snacking because it’s a habit or a craving?

Are you hungry—at a cellular level—because you ate at 6 p.m., and it’s now 10 or 11 p.m.?

Did you not fuel your body with enough fuel throughout the day?

Did you have a tough workout today or yesterday, and your body is needing some extra replenishment?

Some days will be “yes” and some days will be “no.”

If you are hankering a bedtime snack, reach for foods with:

Magnesium—Mineral that relieves insomnia, relaxes muscles, calms you, decreases cortisol—your “stress hormone”, or

Tryptophan-Amino Acid that calms your brain and helps you sleep

Need some ideas for Bed Time Snacks:

Some optimal bed time snacks at night (for boosting sleep hygiene) include:

Herbal or Cinnamon Tea (optional stir in MCT oil or 1 tbsp. Grass-fed Butter)

Coconut Yogurt

Homemade Avocado “pudding” (link to recipe)

Avocado & Grapefruit with sea salt

The Best Food and Drinks to Introduce Your Friends to CBD

You’ve been telling your friends about CBD for a while, but they haven’t tried it for themselves yet. How can you introduce the plant-based power of CBD to your friends? Invite them over to try these different types of CBD-infused food and drinks and tell them to get ready to unwind.

Chocolate with CBD If your friend has a sweet tooth, start with chocolate. Try some chocolate peanut butter balls, made with peanut butter (or other nut butter), maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, coconut flour, and unflavored CBD drops. Make a coating with coconut oil, chocolate chips, and more CBD oil. It’s a sweet treat sure to help ease them into trying CBD. Cake with CBD If they are more of a cake person, try mini chocolate cakes with CBD. Help your friend unwind with raw cacao powder, almond flour, baking powder, espresso powder, salt, coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, stewed apples or applesauce, vanilla extract, and peppermint CBD oil. Mix dry ingredients, stir all wet ingredients together, combine, line a muffin pan, spoon in the batter, and bake until the middle is cooked. Cover the cakes with a vegan chocolate ganache made from coconut oil, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mocktails with CBD Another great way to enjoy CBD is in a mocktail. Try unflavored CBD oil in a mock Moscow Mule, made with honey, lime juice, ginger beer, and lime to garnish. Alternatively, whip up a booze-less take on the French 75 with lemon juice, orange bitters, tonic water, sugar, and ice. Spritz on peppermint CBD oil from a spray bottle, and you’ll get the unique combo of orange and peppermint while enjoying CBD. Tea and Coffee with CBD Going for something more low-key? Invite your friend over to chat over tea or coffee and offer a dropper of CBD oil to add to their caffeinated beverage of choice. Smoothies with CBD Adding drops of a CBD tincture to your morning smoothie can help you promote balance and start your day off right. You can go with a sweeter smoothie, such one made by blending a frozen banana, cacao nibs, hemp protein blend to add a plant-powered superfood, and your favorite non-dairy beverage. Add a few drops and enjoy. Or, kick your friend’s morning into high gear with a smoothie made from frozen mango, greens such as spinach or kale, avocado, matcha powder, your favorite non-dairy beverage, hemp protein blend, and drops of CBD oil. The CBD and matchazen power couple will help your friend chill out while remaining alert. Salads with CBD Adding CBD to a salad is easy: just add it to the salad dressing.
