Pampy's Nutritious Nine

What?

⁍ Nine ingredients,

⁍ Buy, mix, serve,

⁍ Tinker with your daily volume based on your appetite,

⁍ High 'good' fat ratio - 'good' fat is King!

Why?

⁍ Metabolised slowly, drip-feeding mental & physical energy,

⁍ Manages blood sugar/ insulin balance.

⁍ Drives fat-burning metabolism,

⁍ Practically easier.

Also

⁍ Super low in sugar,

⁍ The carb portion is complex and slowly broken down (<insulin spike),

⁍ Oats are very low in gluten and hence gut-friendly,

⁍ Packed with immune-boosting antioxidants.

How?

⁍ 5.0 L Tupperware container.

⁍ 2 x 750g Quick Oats (Cooking oats are best)

⁍ 1 x 250g Shredded Coconut,

⁍ 1 x 125g Slivered Almonds,

⁍ 1 x 200g Sunflower seeds, or 1 x 200g Linseeds, (both are great)

⁍ 1 x 250g Chia Seeds,

⁍ 1 x 125g Cocao Nibs,

⁍ 2 x Tbsp Ground Cinnamon

⁍ 1 x Tbsp Ground Ginger,

Give it a super shake!

⁍ Honey (raw Manuka is best - mass commercial choices are best avoided), OR,

Berries (any) to taste.

Instructions - tinker to your taste, interest and convenience.

⁍ Start lightly, say, 3/4 cup bowled,

⁍ Add 3/4 water, or, milk (full cream is best),

⁍ Microwave for 90 - 120 seconds on full (you want a porridge-like consistency),

⁍ Add a dob of cream ( I prefer thickened cream) [avoid if you cooked with milk],

⁍ Add a dash of honey, OR, a handful of berries of your choice.

⁍ * Tinker with your volume day to day - the key being; your goal is to reach, say, 1 pm free from hunger, or a lack of mental & physical energy.

⁍ Coffee, Tea, etc.  FYI - I believe in the well-documented health benefits for drinking coffee (caffeine).
