You will receive not only a great breakfast, but also a natural energy drink that is so necessary at the very beginning of the day.
Healthy oatmeal: an old English recipe
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
- 1 tbsp. whole grain oat flakes;
- 2-2, 5 tbsp. water;
- 40 g of raisins;
- 4 tsp honey;
- 4 tsp nut or vegetable oil.
Pour water into a saucepan and place over high heat. Pour the flakes into the boiling liquid, stirring thoroughly with the other hand using a wooden spoon or spatula. As soon as the mass begins to thicken, reduce the temperature to average and simmer the porridge for 20-25 minutes, not forgetting to stir. Divide the dish into bowls and add a spoonful of honey and butter and 10 g of raisins to each serving.
Healthy oatmeal with fruit
Ingredients (for 2 servings):
- 1/2 tbsp. small oatmeal;
- 1 tbsp. water;
- 1 strong but ripe pear;
- 4-5 pieces of dried apricots;
- cinnamon on the tip of a knife;
- 1 tsp Sahara;
- 2 tbsp. butter.
Rinse dried apricots, chop finely, pour 1 tbsp. boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes over medium heat. Add flakes to the resulting broth and cook until completely cooked for 5-7 minutes. In the meantime, peel the pear, cut the core and chop the flesh into small pieces. Put them in porridge along with cinnamon and sugar and let simmer all together for another minute. Season the dish with butter and serve with breakfast.
If instead of sugar you prefer to sweeten your oatmeal with healthy honey, put it in the porridge after cooling for 5-10 minutes, otherwise the high temperature will destroy its magic properties.
Vitamin oatmeal on pomegranate juice with cottage cheese
Ingredients (for 4-6 servings):
- 200-250 g of small quickly boiled oatmeal;
- 300 ml of pomegranate juice (not concentrate);
- 300 g of low-fat cottage cheese;
- sugar;
- 200 g of any berries or fruits (only fresh);
- 40 g of almonds.
Oatmeal with pomegranate juice is very useful because of not only a sufficient amount of fiber and trace elements, but also the presence of vitamin C. However, it is not recommended for people with high stomach acidity.
Transfer the flakes to a medium saucepan, dilute them with pomegranate juice and place over low heat. Without bringing the red liquid to a boil, so as not to destroy the vitamins contained in the juice, cook the porridge until it thickens. Sweeten it to taste, then transfer to a glass or wooden bowl and let cool halfway. Chop up any berries, fruits that are on hand, and mix them with cottage cheese and oatmeal. Divide a nutritious meal into portions and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
