With the seasonal change and with the weather being warm one minute and cold the next here is our Nutritionist’s Oat’s recipe, being used 2 ways!
Oats cold or warm – serves 1
1/3 cup traditional rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 apple, grated
1 cup milk of choice (cow’s, almond, rice, coconut)
Method
Cold: combine all ingredients into a jar the night before you wish to have it for breakfast. Mix well and store in the fridge overnight. In the morning pull out give it another good mix, if it’s a bit too thick add in some more liquid to make it creamy. Top with a dollop of unsweetened full fat Greek yoghurt, some freshly cut fruit (banana, berries, passionfruit for example) and give it some texture with a combination of nuts & seeds, coconut flakes, cacao nibs or goji berries. Dig in!
Warm: combine all ingredients into a jar the night before you wish to have it for breakfast. Mix well and store in the fridge overnight. In the morning place into a small saucepan with an extra 1/3 cup milk, heat and stir together until liquid is absorbed, steamy and creamy. Place into a bowl and out in the saucepan an extra ¼ cup milk to warm. Pour over porridge and top with any of these optional toppings, Greek yoghurt, fresh seasonal fruit, nuts & seeds, coconut, cacao nibs, goji berries. Dig in!
