Eating oatmeal for breakfast every morning is healthy, but let’s be real—it can become a bit boring after a while. Luckily, there are ways that you can spice up your oatmeal and make it seem fresh every single day. Here are some great topping ideas to make your oatmeal healthy and start the day off right.

Raspberries

A half a cup of raspberries contains 4 grams of fiber, which makes this tasty and refreshing fruit a nutritious addition to your oatmeal breakfast bowl.

Pumpkin

Adding just a 1/4 cup of homemade pumpkin puree to your oatmeal is a great way to load your breakfast with fiber and vitamin A.

Dark Chocolate

If you’re craving something sweet in the morning, add some quality dark chocolate to your favorite breakfast. Dark chocolate is packed with fiber and antioxidants, and it can boost your energy levels in the morning, so don’t feel guilty for eating it.

Fried Eggs

If you want to boost your protein intake early in the morning, try adding add eggs to your oatmeal too.

Pomegranate Seeds

Removing pomegranate seeds can be a tricky and messy business, so make sure to do it the night before. Don’t miss out on adding this healthy fruit to your oatmeal because it’s high in vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants, and fatty acids.
