January is National Oatmeal Month. As such, it’s the perfect time to celebrate this wholesome dish. Oatmeal isn’t just delicious; it’s incredibly nutritious. It is packed with more protein than most grains and supports gut and heart health. Additionally, oatmeal takes only minutes to make, so it’s a great option for busy employees.
Want to enjoy oatmeal in your Orlando break room? Here are six easy recipes to try with ingredients you can grab from your vending machine!
1. Reese’s Oatmeal Is Perfect for Chocolate Lovers
Satisfy your sweet tooth with Reese’s oatmeal. It’s a delicious afternoon treat. Sprinkle some Reese’s Pieces over freshly made oatmeal. Add hot water if you have an Orlando water filtration service. The fresh water allows the creamy flavors to shine through.
2. Healthy Dried Apple and Cinnamon
A great workday starts with a healthy breakfast. Whip up a bowl of dried apple and cinnamon oatmeal in the break room. Buy dried fruit from the vending machine. Add cinnamon from a shaker. This can be found at your Orlando office coffee station. This also comes in handy when making instant oatmeal. Just use hot water from the coffee machine. Voila! You can now enjoy a hearty meal.
3. Add Some Extra Crunch with Cashews and Craisins
Want your oatmeal to pack a flavor punch? Buy trail mix from the vending machine. While any will do, we recommend cashews or craisins. You’ll love the combination of smooth and tart flavors. Plus, both of these snacks are good for you. Dried cranberries are rich in antioxidants and nutrients. Thus, they may help reduce inflammation. Cranberries can also help your heart. Furthermore, cashews are a great source of protein. They may promote weight loss. Thus, these nuts help employees reach their goal weight.
4. Almond Joy Oatmeal Is a Classic
Coconut and chocolate are a classic combo. They’ll add instant deliciousness to your oatmeal! Buy these ingredients separately from the vending machine. Or, break up an Almond Joy bar and sprinkle it on top. Enjoying a tasty breakfast has never been easier!
5. Strawberries and Cream
Another classic is strawberries and cream, which can be a healthy and delicious way to start your day. Buy strawberry yogurt or fresh strawberries from your Orlando micro-market. Simply stir them into your oatmeal to add flavor and tasty bites!
6. Tropical Oatmeal
Feeling fruity? If so, try this easy recipe. Snag a combination of dried tropical fruits, for instance, try mango, coconut, or pineapple. Mix and match for a unique flavor each time you dig into your oats. A splash of coconut milk can add to the island-inspired flavor!
