Our Most Nutritious Breakfast.




This is one of those breakfasts that gets you going in the morning. That you think about it's yumminess the night before. And that you always make more than you can eat. OATMEAL. But this kind of oatmeal is loaded.




Loaded Oatmeal


-2/3 c oats (fiber, potassium, calcium, loaded with minerals, protein, loaded with amino acids)


-1/2 banana sliced (potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, Vitamin C, magnesium)


-1 TBLS. chia seeds (calcium, omega-3, fiber, protein, iron, magnesium) - on this not chia seeds have 7 times the amount of calcium than a small cup of milk.


-1 TBLS. organic flax seeds (protein, vitamin B6, potassium, omega-3)


-1 TBLS. organic pumpkin seeds (protein, iron, vitamin A, good fats)


-1 handful walnut pieces (protein, good fats)


-1 tsp. cinnamon ( good for your blood, your heart, stops yeast infections, helps relieve arthritis, studies have shown it fights certain cancer cells, fiber, iron and calcium)


- 1 small spoonful of coconut oil (helps aid digestion, good fats, helps with weight loss)


- pinch of Redmond's real salt


-sweeten with maple syrup or raw honey ( raw honey is loaded with over 23 amino acids and minerals, over 5,000 live enzymes, fights diseases, boosts immune and digestive systems)




Some of these ingredients are so good for you it seems to good to be true. To make sure we are getting everything we can out of our breakfast I soak the oats, seeds, nuts and flax in organic kefir the night before. I also soak my kids' oats in lemon juice and water to break down the phytic acid so our bodies accept all of its nutrition.

  2. No.... it breaks down the pytic acid. You could soak yours in kefir or buttermilk overnight. Or just eat it the regular way :)
