It’s hard to rival the smooth deliciousness that comes in a bowl of cream of wheat. Enter this recipe and you have yourself a match! This hearty mixture is slightly sweetened by the apples while the banana creates the creamy background without overpowering flavor. The flax seed adds a slight nuttiness to it as well as creating that “stick to your ribs” type of feeling.
Oat Meal
Serves 2
Ingredients
2 apples
1 banana
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Pure water
Directions
Peel the apples and cut them in smaller parts (for the blender). Peel the banana en break in parts. Grind the flax seeds in a coffee grinder or high powered blender.
Put all ingredients in a blender. This can be a hand blender or high speed blender such as vitamix. Add 1/4 cup water, just enough to let the mixture blend well. Blend all ingredients until smooth. You may want to add a little more water if it’s too thick.
Tip
You make make this recipe even better by replacing the water with almond cream/milk, coconut milk or fresh juice. You may also add a tablespoon of hemp seeds. You can add soaked and dehydrated nuts and raisins. You can prepare this recipe the night before (but put the banana in there in the morning). Especially with nuts and dried fruits in it, it will only taste better!
This can be great for a child’s favorite breakfast. I like this breakfast because it has healthy ingredients that are easy to get: the fiber, good fats and protein of the flax seeds.
