Sinless Vanilla Cherry Apple Oatmeal

Just because it tastes good doesn't automatically earn a meal the oh-so-overused "sinful" moniker. Oh contraire, this hearty, healthy oatmeal may taste reminiscent of a mortal sin (I didn't know those came in flavors?) but your body will actually jump for joy at the fresh ingredients (unless you are cynical and feel like using expired  oatmeal and rotting fruit) intermingling in your belly. 

Here's what you need:

-1/2 cup quick oats (I used Quaker)

-1 cup hemp milk (for think, creamy oatmeal! Though you can use any kind o milk. Unsweetened vanilla hemp creates a sensational flavor) 

-1 apple, cored and cubed (red delicious was my go-to)

-Approximately 10-12 Rainer cherries (or whatever kind you prefer) 

-Cinnamon to taste (our buds are all different!) 

How to make it:

1) Core and cube the apple. Depending on how hippie you are feeling (you are about to use hemp milk, after all) throw away or compost the core 

2) This step is somewhat unpleasant, but unless you want to be spitting out seeds the whole time you are enjoying your breakfast, cut the cherries in half and remove the pits

3) Cook oatmeal according to package directions, unless you are feeling rebellious

4) Add a hearty or whimpy dose of ground cinnamon

5) Dive in- and try to look as ladylike as I do whole scarfing oatmeal (good luck)
