Energizing Oatmeal

Serves 2

Ingredients

Preparation

1. Warm 3 cups of fresh almond milk in a pot, adding 1 cup of organic oatmeal and a cinnamon quill.

2. Stir continuously until the almond milk evaporates and is absorbed by the oatmeal, bringing it to a porridge-like consistency. Add 2 teaspoons of honey to sweeten if you wish.

3. Once the porridge is done to your liking, remove the pot from the heat. Add the porridge into a bowl for each person.

4. Top your porridge with sliced banana, fresh berries, your pepitas and almonds. Dust with the cacao and drizzle with the remaining honey to serve.
