One of our favorite breakfasts. When you're in a rush or just need something to fill you up for the day ahead quickly- this is always a winner.
This recipe shows how you can use what you already have in your cupboards to make a nutritious breakfast in minutes. Or you can switch up your toppings every morning.
Watch our really simple video to see how to make it in just a few steps. Because of its versatility, you can whip up a new bowl with different toppings every morning to spice things up.
Breakfast can usually be rushed and is not usually consumed as a priority, especially if you're running late for the gym or work. This is why this recipe is ideal for you, because it only takes a few minutes to assemble. Or you could even prep your toppings the night before to shave off even more time in the morning.
Just pick one ingredient from each of the categories to make your own.
This works with pretty much anything. We love ours with almond or coconut milk, but you can also use any plant-based milks like oat, soy, rice or cashew. Or even water if you don't have any milk at home.
You can feel free to pile on the toppings, but we think just one from each category works perfectly. And we always add a tablespoon of our Performance Lab MCT Oil to ours for a boost of morning fuel.
Adding MCT will provide you with fast-acting energy to power your workouts and support your mind-body vitality. Our MCT Oil is flavorless, so it's an easy addition to transform your meal into performance-enhancing super fuel. Feel free to mix MCT into your smoothies, shakes, salad dressings, coffee and more.
MCTs are the healthy fats found in coconuts, and much easier to digest than coconut oil. In addition to promoting physical performance, a tablespoon of MCT oil a day can help optimise and protect cognitive health and support your brain energy.
Because MCT is a fat, it can help keep you fuller for longer to support appetite control and satiety. This will prevent overeating and keep the snack cravings at bay. The fiber in the oats will also help avoid hunger pangs and promote steady energy release to keep you going all morning.
