BERRY BREAKFAST BOWL

Serves 1

Oats have a well balanced nutritional composition and are a great source of carbohydrates, soluble fibre and protein. This will slow the release of glucose, promoting satiety (keep you full for longer) and stop you reaching for that mid morning snack.

Ingredients

½ cup gluten free porridge oats

½ cup coconut milk or almond milk

½ cup water

Add 1 tbsp cashew nut butter (or a nut butter of your choice)

A handful of berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries)

 1tbsp flax seeds

 1tbsp pumpkin seeds

Method

Place the oats in a saucepan. Then, add the milk and water

Over a medium heat, gently bring to a slow boil, until mixture begins to thicken. Then, lower heat to simmer, stirring occasionally

Once cooked, transfer to a bowl of your choice and top with berries, nut butter, flax seeds and sunflower seeds

If you are not much of a morning person or if you need something on the go- why not try overnight oats?!
