No-Oat Oatmeal (Daniel Fast approved!)

Maybe you're looking for a low-glycemic, gluten-free alternative to oatmeal that is just as delicious (if not MORE so!) Well..look no further, this quinoa-based oatmeal recipe will be sure to put a pep in your step in the morning. Or for dessert if that's thing your thing! The recipe itself is simple (of course, 'cos that's how we do it here!), but the simplicity does require some prep work the day(s) before. As this meal is a tasty amalgamation of leftovers!

**Note, if you are looking to cut down on sugar (or are doing the Daniel Fast so you are intentionally abstaining from sugar) adding chopped dates to any recipe will help bring the sweetness factor!

The Ingredients:

• About 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa (make a pot of quinoa at the start of the week to make this easier)

• A few hefty tablespoons of chia pudding (make your chia pudding the night before)

• A handful of sliced blackberries

• 3 chopped dates

• 1 sliced burro banana

• 1 sliced apple (fuji & granny smith apples are lower on the glycemic index)

• A handful of chopped pumpkin seeds

• A handful of chopped cashews

• Cinnamon to taste

• Celtic sea salt/ Himalayan pink salt to taste

• Nut milk to consistency (I love walnut milk!)

The Doings:

Add all of the ingredients to a pot, heat, stir...ENJOY!

I like my "not-oat oatmeal" to be more wet than dry, so I also added some water to the mix as it was heating up.

In this recipe you will enjoy: high-quality protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, high in antioxidants, healthy fats, complex carbs, magnesium, zinc AND iron!

And there you go EASY..SIMPLE..DELICIOUS!

Enjoy ᥫ᭡.
