Somehow oatmeal never gets the best rap. It has pretty paltry aesthetic appeal, sounds like something you make your least favorite hamster eat for dinner, and just lacks culinary excitement. But we all forget that oatmeal is perfect for snow. Just imagine: you look out your window and kind of doubt your existence because everything is really white and almost blinding, and you start to see little weird flashes of light from staring so long. But wait! What’s that you smell? Yes, it is cinnamon mingled with a touch of cardamom and maple syrup! Take a deeper whiff…is that banana too? And cranberries? You run over to see where this magical amalgam of scents could be wafting from, and, lo and behold, a humble mug filled to the brim with spiced oats, chunks of banana, bursts of cranberry bits, and (for that essential nutty crunch!) sunflower seeds swimming throughout. And even better for you, the bananas, cranberries, and sunflower seeds can all be collected with the help of your handy-dandy Eco-To-Go container.
