Comments on: My Favorite Weird Oatmeal https://fatfreevegan.com/slowmiracle/2016/10/25/my-favorite-weird-oatmeal/ Living Well with MS. Stories. Recipes. Hope. Fri, 27 Jun 2025 09:07:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.34 By: Maria Theresa Maggi https://fatfreevegan.com/slowmiracle/2016/10/25/my-favorite-weird-oatmeal/#comment-29837 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 03:40:22 +0000 http://fatfreevegan.com/slowmiracle/?p=6786#comment-29837 HI Lee, Spirulina, well, tastes, as my son and daughter-in-law put it, like swamp water! Or grass. . .that’s why it usually gets mixed with other stuff. 🙂 It just gives a nice jolt of good greenies, I find, but it is, well, algae, what can I say?! And yes I have my hands full with two Silkens these days. I hope your internship is going well.

And I didn’t know you’d gotten another dog; intern life has behind on just about everything. Off to check out your last post!

Synchron-oats-ity!!! 🙂 I, too, was eating this bowl while I read about you eating yours–I just love it! 🙂 And thanks again Gena, your recipes–and your life– continue to inspire me, and that’s such a lovely thing. xoxo

And I’ll have you know that I am reading this post at the very same time as I eat a bowl of rolled oats and kamut flakes with chopped dates and hemp seeds — no joke — so it feels all the more timely. Some garam masala would have made it even better 🙂

I’m in heaven…) and any other berries we have, lots of cinnamon, a splash of maple, pea-protein milk, and a nut butter, sometimes topped with cacao nibs. I really like your idea of simmering some apple in with the oats as it cooks! We use Irish steel cut oats, so it cooks for a while, and I think the apple would dissolve in there nicely.
Adding in the spirulina is a great idea! I usually only add it to smoothies, but why am I constraining that?? Thanks for some wonderful ideas on how I can update our oatmeal habit, add a bit of interest and change (but not too much change!). 😉 xoxo

The spirulina I like the best is one I can buy in bulk at my co-op called Health Force Naturals. It’s relatively mild tasting and supposedly organic and “clean.” They do vary widely in taste, depending, and some are organic and some not, so find one you feel comfortable with. I liked being able to buy a small amount to try it out.

Glad to hear you are loving the beach so much.

I’m glad you’re happy and busy at the beach, but so missing your updates :). Thanks for the weird recipe; the weirder the better if it’s one of yours – that’s my motto! Who would ever have thought of eating kale with oats??? But, now I do it everyday. Ha! Thanks for changing my world so wonderfully 🙂 Marilyn
