Healthy, active lifestyles call for nutrient-packed breakfasts, and that’s just with you’ll get with this invigorating spin on morning oatmeal. I have been eating some variation of oatmeal almost every day for breakfast for as long as I can remember, and this recipe has been my go-to ever since I discovered the nutritional powerhouse that is moringa! Try this out if you have a challenging day ahead and need a power-up in the morning. Sometimes I’ll even make a bowl for myself later on in the day if I’m planning on working out later. Be prepared to crush your day with the 1-2 double superfood punch of Moringa and Goji Berries!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Whole Grain Oats
1/4 cup Grape Nuts
1/4 cup Organic Goji Berries
1-2 tbsp Kuli Kuli Moringa Powder
1 heaping spoonful of Almond Butter
Hot Water
Your favorite non-daily Milk (optional)
How To:
1. Add the Oats and Grape Nuts to a bowl. The oats will act as your carb-heavy base, and the grape nuts provide loads of fiber as well as a satisfying crunch.
2. Add Goji Berries on top for a bit of sweetness, Vitamin C, and Potassium. Look for organic goji berries without any preservatives – you can find them in many health food stores or online for a reasonable price. I’ve been hooked on them ever since I met my Chinese wife who swears by them. They are one on the most commonly used ingredients in Chinese traditional medicine, and are also eaten as a common snack in China.
3. Sprinkle in your Moringa for top-quality nutrition and that familiar earthy-green color!
4. Heap on the almond butter for a wonderful nutty flavor that will keep everything stuck together!
5. Add hot water until you’ve reached a consistency you are happy with. You can also add in some non-dairy milk for a sweeter flavor. My favorites are almond, 7-grain, and hemp milk!
6. Enjoy!
