3 x Breakfast Oatmeal

3x Breakfast Oatmeal
       For standard breakfast, we recommend oatmeal. One of the most common

breakfast is an oatmeal you can consume in the mornings. For the most basic

recipe, you only need one ingredient and it's fast to prepare. It can be prepared

on many other varieties depending on the season and preference.

       Oats can be cooked with water, vegetable or fruit juice or with any kind of

milk. Also, you can either stick to just roll oats or mix them with rye flakes, quinoa

flakes, Chia seeds, or any other kind of seed like linseeds.

Three ways of Oatmeal

       
         1. Protein Boosted Oatmeal (Serves  2)

-   1 cup rolled oats (if you prefer free or certified gluten)


-   2,5 cups water

- 2 eggs

-  1/2 tsp ground vanilla

- 1 pinch sea salt

Topping:

-  Raspberries, fresh or thawed frozen

-  Avocado, sliced

-  Chia seeds

-  Hemp seeds

-  Quark yogurt

        Put the water, oats, eggs, vanilla and salt in a small pot and bring to a

simmer on medium to low heat. Mix to combine well. Simmer until the water is

just absorbed and the oatmeal has thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Serve in bowls

with toppings and vegetable milk.

         2. Carrot & Rye Oatmeal (Serves  2)

-  1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

-  1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled rye

-  1,5 cup carrot juice

-  1 cup water

-  1 pinch sea salt

Topping:

-  Flax seeds

-  Raisins

-  Unsweetened apple sauce with grated fresh ginger (cook chopped apples,

a little water and grated ginger until tender)

-  Cacao nibs

       Put the oats, carrot juice, rye, water and salt in a small saucepan and cook

on medium to low heat. Cook it until the water is just absorbed and the oatmeal

has thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Serve in bowls with plant milk and toppings.

       3. Sweet Coconut Oatmeal (Serves  2)

-  1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if you prefer)

-  1,5 cup coconut milk

-  1 cup water

-  1 pinch sea salt

Topping:

-  Almond & cacao nut butter (mix nut butter and cocoa powder)

-  Toasted desiccated coconut

-  Sunflower and toasted pumpkin seeds

-  Strawberries (fresh or thawed frozen)

-  Raw hazelnuts, chopped

-  Goji berries

         Place coconut milk, oats, water and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a

simmer on medium to low heat. Cook it until the water is just absorbed and the

porridge has thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Serve in bowls with plant milk and

toppings.

Tip:

         For a grain, free options use rolled flakes of whole buckwheat, millet or

quinoa. Remember that the actual oatmeal is only 45 percent of the experience.

Toppings are the most important part, so use your imagination and build

mountains of different toppings.
