Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned oats
2 cups almond milk, oat milk or water
½ apple or pear they should be organic, skin on, cut in small pieces
1 tsp cinnamon powder or to taste
1 tbsp organic maple syrup optional
2 tbsp coconut yoghurt optional
1 tbsp bee pollen optional, do not use if allergic to pollen
fresh berries and/or banana raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries

Method

Add the oats to a small saucepan with the almond milk, oat milk or water.
Sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Cinnamon is excellent for controlling blood sugar levels.
Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
Cut the apple or pear into small pieces, keeping the skin on, and add to the saucepan.
Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy. Feel free to add more milk/water if you see it is needed when cooking the oats.
Pour the oats into a bowl. Add the coconut yoghurt and stir gently.
Sprinkle the bee pollen on top and stir.
Top with fresh berries: blackberries, blueberries, raspberries or banana. Serve immediately.

Notes

Oats are rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals. They keep you full and prevent glucose spikes that sweet breakfasts generate (when there's no fiber) and which leave you feeling hungry again 2 hours later. With this breakfast you will feel full and will have no issue waiting until lunch time!

Apples or pears with the skin on release pectin when cooked (important to choose organic). Pectin is beneficial for digestive health and supports a healthy microbiome by feeding our good bacteria.

Bee pollen is a true superfood, dense in antioxidants and vitamins. It is anti-inflammatory and good for cardiovascular health. One important note: if you have pollen allergies, please avoid.
