Banana Split Oatmeal
Yep. I’m insane. Or genius. Not sure which.
This porridge contains ALL the flavors of the classic banana split. However, unlike the typical massive dessert found in diners, THIS banana split is healthy AND vegan! Don’t act like you’re not impressed. 😉
Pina Colada Oatmeal
WHY did it take me so long to try this combination? The pineapple-coconut duo is one of my favorite flavor combos. It’s even better than strawberry-banana! Or–dare I say it–chocolate and peanut butter?
Nah, scratch that last one. Nothing’s better than chocolate and peanut butter.
I really, really loved this oatmeal; it’s so flavorful and refreshing. Pineapple, as I’m learning, works beautifully in oatmeal. Some fruits lose their flavor after undergoing the slightest bit of cooking on the stove, or the flavor mysteriously disappears when combined with the oatmeal. (If anyone can explain this phenomenon to me, that’s be greatly appreciated.) On the other hand, pineapple not only retains its flavor, but seemingly gains more of it! You won’t need added sugar, and you won’t need special spices or extracts. A little coconut milk (or if nothing else, shredded coconut) is all it takes to elevate the pineapple.
You can use either fresh or frozen pineapple. If you have fresh pineapple, feel free to add more as a topping at the very end!

Loaded Banana Oatmeal
Do you ever have trouble deciding which kind of oatmeal to make in the morning because you kind of just want everything??
If so, this one’s for YOU. It’s like an Everything Bagel, without the garlic.
Normally, when we hear the word “loaded,” we think of heart attacks like loaded chili or loaded baked potatoes, which usually feature bacon, sour cream, and junk food like “Funyuns.” No, thanks.
THIS loaded concoction can be as healthy (or unhealthy) as you like. For a healthier route, look for toppings like fresh fruit, dried fruit, peanut butter, puffed rice, any type of yogurt, nuts, raw chia or hemp seed, banana butter, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, granola, or more sliced banana. You could also add maple syrup or honey on top.
