I’ve been loving the Pret that opened across the street from my office. Today was my third visit and they continue to impress me with delicious healthy options – specifically vegan for me. I discovered that they can do their oatmeal with water or any kind of milk – so I had soy. They steam it with the steam wand on the espresso machine so by the time I got settled back into my desk it had thickened up and was fantastic. It has almonds, hazelnuts, cinnamon, cashew, coconut and supposedly currants but they seemed like raisins to me – either that or they were currants on steroids! Regardless it was delicious. Although the package doesn’t say it, I read online it has maple syrup – which I definitely taste. This was the perfect Friday – gloomy day – breakfast. I’ve always been a Jamba Juice oatmeal fan since they do theirs with soy. Jamba’s is slow cooked and consistency wise better but I love the flavors in the Pret oatmeal – and considering its far closer to my office I think I’ll be sticking to Pret from now on! Love it!
