Hey everyone.
Its been a different week here in LA. People seem to really freak out from the coronavirus, and its starting to get a bit scary. Especially today after Trump announced that the US won’t let anyone from EU travel into the US in the next 30 days. I guess the next step is that everyone from the US won’t be able to travel to EU. Especially now when I’m by myself away from loved ones it feels a bit scarier.
The first thing I do in the morning now days is making myself a big cup of coffee, to get that extra kick and those good antioxidants. Staying healthy during these times can be a real lifesaver. I have been craving oatmeal a lot lately, it fills me up for at least 3, or sometimes 4 hours before I get hungry again. Especially when I make it with one of my favorite plant-based ingredients, which is full of good proteins. I’m talking about almond flour! You can buy almond flour in almost every supermarket nowadays, or order it on iherb, amazon, or in a health shop.
What you need
1 dl almond flour
1 dl old fashioned oats
some cinnamon
some sweetener: honey, agave or stevia
a pinch of salt
4 dl almond milk, or other milk
What you do
Start with adding all the dry ingredients to the boiler. Then add the milk.
Use medium to low heat and mix together at all times so the oats dosen’t burn.
Mix until you get the texture you like, some people like more soggy and other people prefer more firm oatmeal. Personally I like my oats in between, but the topping is everything to make the oatmeal exciting and different from one day to another.
One day I can go with only berries, next day with nuts and fruit and another day with granola and peanut butter. I like to mix it up from one day to another.
Today I made it with granola. blueberries, raspberries and fresh strawberries.
Whoever said that eating plant-based is boring, is wrong in my opinion. Oats are also super cheap, and very quick and easy to prepare on a busy morning.
I hope you like it and that you got inspired to pimp your oatmeal next time.
Stay healthy everyone!
All the best, Eline S.
