Gut Nourishing Steel Cut Oats

Gut Nourishing Steel Cut Oats

Cooked and cooled steel-cut oats have a higher amount of resistant starch and are high in mucilaginous fiber. Blueberries, flaxseeds, and cinnamon provide a great source of polyphenols (as well as fiber). The optional yogurt provides a food-based source of probiotics. Each serving provides 11 grams of fiber! Enjoy after a workout, as a fiber-rich breakfast, or simply as a snack.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cooked and cooled steel-cut oats (cooked per package instructions)
½ cup frozen blueberries
½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon chopped nuts
½ cup plain grass-fed yogurt (optional)

METHOD
  1. In a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl add a 1-cup serving of cooked and cooled steel cut oats.
  2. Add the blueberries, and non-dairy milk.
  3. Reheat in microwave for about 3 minutes.
  4. Once warmed, stir in the ground cinnamon and flaxseeds. Top with chopped nuts and plain yogurt.
