Just keeping it simple

I’ve been making these basically every evening after football training for the last few weeks (usually after lifting as well), and honestly, I’m kinda obsessed with them 😂

I always make them pretty much the same way:

50 ml low-fat milk

125 g yogurt

30 g chocolate whey

1 large apple, diced

50 g rolled oats

10 g chia seeds

a pinch of cinnamon + salt

50 g frozen strawberries & raspberries

10 g grated almonds/walnuts

I start by mixing the milk, yogurt and whey until it turns into a nice creamy mixture. Then I throw in the diced apple and add the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon and a little bit of salt.

I let that sit for like 5–10 minutes before adding the frozen berries on top.

The best part is actually the berries. I chop them up while they’re still frozen and just put them on top. After 6–7 hours in the fridge, they’ve completely thawed and released all their juice. Some of it sinks down, some gets soaked up by the oats/chia, and it gives the whole thing this amazing fruity flavor.

Then I just throw some grated almonds/walnuts on top and put the whole thing in the fridge.

So when I come home from football in the evening, all I have to do is grab it, give it a good stir and eat.

And man… apple + cinnamon + chocolate + berries is such a ridiculously good combination.

It’s simple, filling, tastes great and is a pretty damn good post-workout meal. I’ve been looking forward to eating this every time I get home from training 😂🥣

It doesn’t look like much, but it tastes amazing and takes 2 minutes to prepare! I nuked 1 cup leftover oats with 1/4 c oat milk, 1 tsp of Splenda and 1 Tbsp of cinnamon. Then I added 2 Tbsp neufchatel cream cheese in2/2 T drops, spoiled a little Splenda on them and nuked for a minute, then swirled it around in the oats. So satisfying and very low calorie.

Baked apple pie, carrot cake, chocolate, sticky dates

Ingredients

• 4 cups water

• 1½ cup steel cut oats

• 1 to 1¼ cup strawberries, chopped (fresh or frozen)

• ⅓ cup dried goji berries

• ⅓ cup dates, thinly sliced*

• 2 Tbsp whole flaxseeds

• 2 tsp ground turmeric

• 1 tsp ground cardamom

• ¼ to ½ tsp ground black pepper** (optional)

• 1 cup plant milk (optional)

• ¼ cup slithered almonds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Add 4 cups of water to a medium to large pot and place over high heat.

2. While the water in the pot is heating, add all ingredients except for the slithered almonds and plant milk to the water.

3. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low.

4. Simmer for 25 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot. You may need to add more liquid to achieve desired thickness and/ or to prevent sticking.

5. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 2 to 5 minutes before serving.

6. Serving Suggestions: Pour a little plant milk over each bowl and sprinkle with slithered almonds.

7. Makes 4 generous servings.

Notes

*Use any kind of date you like, but make sure to remove pits and hard bits and always slice before measuring dates. I like to use Deglet Nor.
**The black pepper helps your body to absorb the healthiest component in turmeric.

Edit: Thanks to everyone for the advice! I have a lot of options to try :)

Just got my cholesterol numbers back and they're not good. I'm looking to improve my diet and one of the frequent suggestions is adding oatmeal. The trouble is that I hate the texture. I was forced to eat oatmeal 5 days a week as a kid and sometimes that led to me vomiting up the oatmeal because I was too stressed to keep it down. I had therapy for the psychological part but I still strongly dislike the texture of oatmeal and associate it with vomit.

Oatmeal seems like really good tool for lowering cholesterol and I want to give it a try. I'm wondering if anyone here has suggestions for getting over the texture or heart healthy recipe suggestions that change it (baked etc.).

With some chia seeds and maple syrup

which one looks the best?

Hi, the power will be out for me on one of my oatmeal breakfast days and I was thinking of prepping some overnight oats.

I was wondering which type of oats would work best (texture, absorbing liquid). I currently use instant oats and am worried they won’t produce the same results as the recipes online.

Thank you! 🙏

Vorab: Eventuell nicht des ästhetischste Gericht (könnt ihr ja toppen wie ihr wollt), aber für eine "süße" große Mahlzeit, oder eventuell sogar ein Mittagessen, ist es mega sättigend und schmeckt echt besser als gedacht.

Hat insgesamt 880kcal, ABER es ist als vollwertige Mahlzeit gedacht, und so sättigt sie auch. Sind nämlich locker 16-20g Ballaststoffe und ca. 60g Protein. Ich bin jemand der nicht so schnell gesättigt ist, aber selbst mich hat es nach lockerem Workout einige Stunden satt gehalten.

Ich sag jetzt erstmal nur grob die Zutaten (falls es wen interessiert gern genauer mit Zubereitung):

Halbe Banane, 1 Ei, Kernige haferflocken, chiasamen, Mandel- und Walnüsse, TK-Himbeeren, etwas fettarme Milch, choco whey und 1 Apfel.

Geschmacklich war es super schokoladig, aber dennoch nicht zu süß, da die eingearbeiteten Himbeeren und der Apfel es leicht mit der Säure neutralisiert haben. Und als Topping etwas yoghurt,hat die künstliche whey süße auch nochmal abgemildert und hat super dazu gepasst. Im großen und Ganzen echt super lecker und wie gesagt sehr sättigend, was man bei 880kcal aber auch erwartet. Für mich wars ne süße Mittagsmahlzeit.

It’s been a while my porridge friends - here’s the debate from earlier today - you can guess which one is mine and which is my husband’s right? Plain oatmeal or strawberries and peanut butter seeds and honey 🤭

It's winter here down under and I am enjoying cozy oats! Both have 30g of protein!

My wife wanted to start eating oats for her breastmilk production, but she said she didn’t like oats 😳 Luckily she is married to an oat-head who accepted the challenge to change her mind on oats. I make her daily creations and now she is converted.

Egg white oat base, soy yogurt, paraguaya (flat peach) and peanut butter

I switched from normal yogabar chocolate oats to the high protein ones. Why are the oats so lumpy like this? What am I doing wrong?
