My Go-To Zucchini Oatmeal

Oats are rich in manganese which helps the body synthesize fats and is also high in phosphorus, copper, bitoin, vitamin b1, magnesium, fibre, zinc & protein.
– they lower cholesterol levels
– can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
– stabilizes blood sugar levels and lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes
– the high fibre content helps keep a happy digestive system.
– contains immune system boosting beta glucans, making them perfect for winter breakfasts!

I always soak my oats overnight as they activate during the soaking process making them easier to digest and they also cook faster!

● soak overnight:
– 1 cup rolled oats

● in the morning add
– 1/2 cup grated zucchini
– 1 piece of fresh fruit, either banana, pear or apple. With apple and pear, just chop into small pieces and with banana you can mash it in.
● cook in a pot on medium heat with dairy-free milk of choice, water or coconut water, adding cinnamon & coconut sugar to taste and more milk to achieve your desired texture. it should only take a few minutes to cook.

I like to add maca powder & serve with with lots of toppings like berries, other fruits, coconut shreds, seeds & nuts or nut butter!
