Savory Oats ****

 Made this on 7/20/14.  I can't have spinach right now so I tried it with swiss chard.  I just started adding fiber back into my diet, and this felt very heavy.  I used thick-cut rolled oats, and felt like they were too thick and stiff.  I added some water but lost some flavor in doing so.  I ate it, it was a filling meal, but I didn't love it the way I used to.  Maybe it's the chard or maybe my tastes have just changed.  I had another serving, and got a headache afterwards.  It also felt like a brick in my stomach, so heavy.  If I made it again, I would use regular oats instead of thick-cut, and I would use less oats and more greens.






2 cups water
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup baby spinach, packed [Sub with swiss chard?]
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
Sea salt



In a medium saucepan, combine water and rolled oats.  Turn  heat to high and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.

Turn off heat, stir in spinach, and stir until spinach has wilted.  Stir in nutritional yeast, and season to taste with sea salt.

Makes 2 servings
