Turmeric and ginger oatmeal

It’s one of those months. Everywhere you go, you see people with puffy eyes and sore throats.

Ever since I changed my diet, about 5 years ago, I can count by one hand the amount of times I got sick.

It used to be a regular thing back when I was younger but not anymore.

However, last week, my man caught something at work. Nothing serious but enough to bring him a bit down.

That was the inspiration for this week’s post. Apart from golden milk and ginger tea, I also rely on this oatmeal to fight colds.

Ingredients:

• 115-130g oats
• 1 tbsp turmeric with a pinch of black pepper
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1,5cm ginger (minced)
• 1 tbsp of sweetener (agave, maple, coconut…)
• 1 tbsp raisins
• 250ml almond milk
• 250ml water (or more milk)
• lot’s of fruit (for topping)
• 1 tbsp of ground flax (for topping)

Instructions:

1. Add oatmeal, turmeric, cinnamon and raisins to a pan. Mix.
2. Next add in milk, water, minced ginger and sweetener. Mix well.
3. Bring to a boil and let it sit for 8 to 9 minutes or until absorbs all the liquid.
4. Remove from the heat and distribute between to bowls. Top with fruit and flax.
