It’s National Oatmeal Day!
Not that we need a special day for it–at Breakfast Criminals HQ, oats are consumed in one form or another every day. As I like to say, #oatsareyourcanvas.
While I’m all for a good old fashioned bowl of warm oatmeal, I have a soft spot for creating new combinations with fresh and dried fruit, spices, seeds, nuts and superfoods. And when it comes to delicious superfood oatmeal parties in easy-to-transport cups, Modern Oats nail it with their non-GMO verified, gluten-free creations.
But sometimes, I having at least some sort of vegetables in the morning. And you know, fiber in the morning seems to be really good friends with digestion.
Enter ZOATS.
Have your mind blown!
A combination of zucchini and oats, it is a perfectly creamy, delicious concoction that tastes nothing like vegetables. You can simply grate zucchini and cook with oats how you usually would, but I have a next level trick for you.
Apple Ginger Modern Zoats!
Here’s the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 serving of Modern Oats (I used Apple Walnut flavor)
- 1 small zucchini, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 medium apple, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 inch ginger, peeled
- 1.5 cups almond milk
- Optional toppings: 2 tbsp. walnuts, 2 tbsp. pomegranate seeds
Directions:
- First, blend almond milk with zucchini, apple and ginger. Get a delicious smoothie that’s hard not to drink right away.
- Then, take a cup of Modern Oats, transfer to a pot, pour over your almond zucchini apple mixture, and cook for about 10 minutes, until desired consistency.
