Finding a good, healthy breakfast? It’s harder than it sounds right? Sometimes I need something hot to warm me up (especially on the days that it’s 10 degrees outside!). I like to send off my husband with something too. I want us to be healthy, energized (not bogged down) and well enjoy what we are eating! I did a combo…I found out that Lipton is making some new delicious teas, and I wanted to take the health values of tea and mix them into the health values of oatmeal! Out of this was born Tea Infused Oatmeal Breakfast! Keep reading – you’re going to LOVE this!

First let’s talk about how excited I am about Lipton’s New Teas! My family enjoys a nice cup of tea. My mother in law came from Scotland when she was in her 20’s so my husband grew up knowing the fine art of teas! I started truly enjoying them when I met him. Anyways, back on track, we love tea and we love Lipton so it’s really exciting news for us that there are new teas out!

I picked out 3 to try first – Pure Greentea, Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea, and Amazingly Grey Black Tea. I was not disappointed in any of them. All had such a vibrant – but different from each other flavor – it was so much fun to do a tea sampling! Did I pick teas that aren’t your cup of tea? No fears – there are more flavors! You can try:

The Green Tea Flavors (The multi-sensory teas refresh standard tea time, creating an exciting and unique tea-drinking experience…don’t forget the health benefits of Green Tea!)

Orange Passionfruit Jasmine
Cranberry Pomegranate
Lemon Ginseng
Purple Acai Blueberry

Herbal Tea Flavors (Real ingredients combine with our best herbal tea blends to awaken the senses- you’re going to love these)

Peach Mango
Berry Hibiscus
Apple Cinnamon

Black Tea Flavors (Black is my favorite and these do not disappoint with bold aromas and unique flavors join forces to put a twist on traditional black tea)

Daring English Breakfast
Enticing Chai
Stirring Ceylon
Irresistible Lady Lipton

Ok, now that you know how AWESOME the new teas are (which one are you trying – let me know what I need to try next!), let’s talk about getting your power breakfast in. I actually made this for both my husband and I. We are busy (who isn’t I know – which is why you need to make this too). Having a hot breakfast can’t take long. We need to get to work. I decided to try infusing oatmeal with yummy Lipton Tea. Think in your head – both have a mellow flavor, both tea and oatmeal are great for you, both provide a hearty way to start your morning…I could go on and on. It’s a great idea (and it even tasted better).

A few notes – I added cut up bananas to this after I cooked the oatmeal. Second make sure to use a big enough bowl so it doesn’t boil over (by the way I learned this the hard way). Third if you need a little sugar – brown sugar was amazing in it (my son ate it and asked for a bit of sugar).
