For this valentine’s themed breakfast oatmeal bowl, I decided to go for beetroot as the vegetable to give it that red pop.

Beetroot counts as one of your 5 a day and is thought to be anti-inflammatory. It also adds that much needed fibre to your diet.

Ginger with beetroot is a delicious combo and I also added cinnamon for that lovely spicy taste.

This breakfast combines atleast 10 different fruit and plant varieties with lots of fruits, grains, spices and seeds.

I garnished it with my Omega 6 Seeds mix which is super easy to use and has pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds and sesame seeds in it.

INGREDIENTS:

For Porridge:

50g rolled oats

1/4 grated beetroot

Water as required (or plant-based milk e.g. oat milk / almond milk / dairy milk if you are not vegan)

1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

1/2 tsp ginger powder

1/2 banana

For Garnishing:

Blueberries

Grapes

Strawberries

Better Food Mood’s Omega Seeds Mix

METHOD:

In a pan on a medium flame, add your oats and water/milk.

Add the diced banana, grated beetroot, cinnamon and ginger powder.

Cook for about 2 – 5 minutes until the oats are cooked and you have the desired consistency for the oats.

Pour into your bowl and garnish with the grapes, blueberries, strawberries, seeds mix and sweetener.

Enjoy this valentine’s inspired porridge breakfast bowl hot with a delicious cup of herbal tea!
