I love my oats. It’s such a simple way to start the day in a filling, warming, and energising way.

This oats recipe serves 2, and with a few simple tweaks, you can make it a lot more alkalizing than the traditional more acidic version, yet keeping it just as delicious and satisfying.

INGREDIENTS

• Oats and water
• 1 dessert spoon chia seeds per person
• 1 dessert spoon coconut oil per person
• 1-2 splashes of nut milk of your choice
• 1 heaped tablespoon coconut/non-dairy yoghurt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Handful of mixed nuts/seeds and mixed berries

METHOD

• Cook your usual portion size of oats in water, not milk
• Bring to simmer and add chia seeds
• Cook until it’s a touch too dry
• Stir in enough nut milk to your ideal consistency
• Remove from the heat
• Stir in coconut oil, cinnamon and non-dairy yoghurt
• Serve topped with nuts/seeds and berries

This quick recipe is a life saver on a busy morning when your trying to get yourself, and all the family out the door.

Give it try, and let me know how you get on.
