Oatmeal Three Delicious Ways
Autumn is coming and it's time to get your oatmeal on!
Here are some of my sweet and colourful oat recipes to ramp up your energy levels and give you a nutritional boost.
Let’s talk about oatmeal. Oatmeal is a healthy and filling breakfast that can be prepared in so many yummy ways. I’ve been an oatmeal lover since I was a little kid and I still am, just as much. I love mine cooked on the stove or as overnight oats.
Oats have various benefits worth noting, they are:
- High in fiber and antioxidants
- Satisfying
- 100% whole grain
- Gluten-free and vegan-friendly
- The best healthy breakfast ever
Oats are a good source of many nutrients including vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and magnesium. Oats are also a good source of protein and healthy slow burning carbohydrates.
Oats are a great choice for breakfast as not only are they a super healthy way to start your day, but also you can add a multitude of other healthful ingredients to really start to fill up those nutrients on Cronometer. You know what I'm saying, almost anything goes! Fruits, nuts, seeds and spices you name it, it can be done.
Here are my top 2 of my favourite nutritional oatmeal recipes. Plus a breakfast rice recipe you don't want to miss, see below.
Ginger Oats With Pineapple & Mango
This recipe is super flavourful with the background ginger flavour within the oats, to the bursting sweetness of the mango. With the added crunch of coconut this probably has to be one of my favourite oat recipes.
I love adding chia seeds to my oatmeal as they have the highest combined plant source of omega 3, fibre and protein. They are high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Check out my blog post on the amazing benefits of chia
for more info.

Choco-Fudge Oats
I feel this is probably the best oatmeal recipe in existence, especially for chocolate lovers to get their fix in a clean-eating way, it uses cocoa powder and cocoa nibs which are the healthier more natural counterparts to chocolate bars.
You might not believe this but raw unsweetened cacao powder
per tbsp contains a whopping amount of your daily essential mineral intake. Including Calcium 11%, Iron 66%, Magnesium 107%, Phosphorus 63%, Potassium 37%, Zinc 39%, Copper 163%, Manganese 165% & Selenium 18%!

Breakfast Rice Recipes
It's healthy and a great way to use up leftover rice from last night's meal, it takes 5 minutes to make and is as easy as heating up cooked rice with some plant milk and tasty toppings.
For those in a rush in the mornings or like to make extra grains up each time you cook (great idea) with the plans of a easy meal the next day, then this is for you.

This recipe is just like that memory, except made all the better with this mango chia pudding I randomly discovered. I hope you are just as excited to make this as I am to share this with you..

(serves 2)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup plant milk
- 1 medium banana (mashed)
- pinch salt

For the chia pudding

- 1 limes juice
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut

Optional toppings:
- Blueberries
- Pear (chopped)
- Maple syrup
Method
- First prepare the mango chia pudding by adding all the ingredients except the chia to a food processor or blender and blitz to combine, then pour out into a bowl and add the chia seeds. Leave to set around 15mins.
- To make the breakfast rice, add the rice to a pot with the rest of the ingredients and warm through on medium heat stirring occasionally.
- When the rice is heated through, serve with the mango chia pudding and the other suggested toppings if choosing.
