Morning Oats
Morning oats! Not only is oatmeal versatile- it can be used in countless recipes- but it also has an incredible amount of health benefits. It regulates blood sugar, reduces cholesterol, and it’s filled with fibre. My favorite thing about eating oatmeal in the morning is that it energizes me throughout the entire day and keeps me full for hours. You can also make the oatmeal with water, but I find that using a plant-based milk makes it much creamier. I love topping my oatmeal with fresh fruits, hemp seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, and blue majik nut milk. You may have never heard of blue majik before, so here you have it. It’s a great way to supplement your B12 if you are a vegetarian or vegan, and it also improves digestive health and thyroid function, and it’s pretty to eat. You heard it hear first!
