SWEET STRAWBERRY OATMEAL              Serves 2

3/4 Cups Steel Cut Oats or Regular Rolled Oats - Preferably Gluten Free - *Rinsed & Soaked is optimal, if you don’t have time for soaking be sure to rinse*
2 Cups Water
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tbsp Flax Seeds
2 Tsp Coconut Oil
1 tsp Maple Syrup
1 Cup Strawberries
Pinch of Sea Salt
Top with Maple Syrup, 1 Tbsp Hemp Seeds & 2 Tbsp Granola
Almond Mylk

In a small pot combine the soaked and rinsed Oats, Flax Seeds, Cinnamon, water and salt. Rinsed and Soaked is optimal for nutrient absorption, if you don’t have time for soaking be sure to rinse well. Bring the mixture to a boil, stir, cover, reduce to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring often to avoid the oats sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add the strawberries and stir for another minute or two. Stir in the coconut oil, add a generous splash of Maple Syrup or your favourite sweetener and almond mylk., Top with more sliced strawberries, granola, hemp seeds and enjoy!

P.S. I love a lot of berries in my oatmeal so adjust to your liking.
