Surro Snacking! Lisa’s Protein-Packed Oatmeal
Protein-packed Nausea-Neutralizing Apple Oatmeal
Time to feature some Surro Snacking! Today, CFC surrogate Lisa shares a great tip with us to beat morning sickness in the first trimester (or beyond, if you’re unlucky…) “what gets me through morning sickness with a little protein is oatmeal (plain oats) cooked with apples and milk mixed with eggs (as you would for custard). The milk and apples sweeten but you can add a little maple syrup if you like!”
Who knows!? Try it and let us know if it works for you! Thank you, Lisa.

1/2 cup rolled or steel cut oats
1/2 cup of milk

Step 1
Measure out 1/2 cup of oats and 1 cup of water and pour them into a pot.
Step 2
Add the chopped apple
Step 3
Crack the egg into the pot and stir well to combine the egg, oatmeal and water.
Step 4
Bring the oatmeal to a boil over high heat. Reduce the temperature to a simmer.
