Just a quick recipe for you today.
Most of my breakfasts involve eggs as they’re close to the perfect food, but sometimes I like to mix it up.
Oatmeal can be a quick and easy meal. Done wrong, like with the packets I was so fond of as a child, it’s little more than a bowl of sugar.
Done right and it can be a balanced and healthy meal.
- Oats
- Coconut Milk
- Protein Powder
- Chia Seeds
- Herbs
Oats are one of my favorite grains. If you’ve got the time, then cook the whole oat groats or steel cut oats rather than the regular flakes that are more common.
Coconut milk is used to add fat to this otherwise carb-heavy meal. How much you use is up to you, but I like this rich source of long and medium chain triglycerides.
A variety of protein powders can be used. One that I particularly like for oatmeal is Rootz Nutrition Protein Powder. This is going to round out the carbs and fat with protein, thus making it a balanced meal in the macronutrients.
I also love to add chia seeds.
Next up you can add a variety of herbs that can be used for more flavor and benefits. Here are some that I mix and match with the above meal:
- Cacao (if you want a chocolately meal loaded with antioxidants and more)
- Pine Pollen Powder (most of the taste will be masked, but gives that hormonal kick)
- Goji Berry Powder (tastes great and provides a wide range of benefits)
- Maca (tastes great and enhances energy)
- Cinnamon (this rich source of chromium also helps with blood sugar regulation)
Add the coconut milk and chia seeds while cooking. Add the rest afterwards by stirring them well in.
I’m not giving amounts because it really goes to taste and preference. Play around with the above and see how you like it, then adjust from there. Just remember that you can always add more, but you can’t really do less.
