It’s back to routine time and after a week of pizza in Italy, it’s now all about adding in variety and fibre for me and the kids.
Fibre from fruit, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and whole grains feeds our gut microbiome which helps us digest our food, remove waste 💩, boosts our immune system 🤼 and protects us from outside invaders, produces B vitamins 🔥 and helps with our mood 🧠 and metabolism. A lot of work for our good bacteria 🦠 but luckily there are trillions of them!
I’m lucky that my youngest likes the texture of overnight oats, so this is a great kickstart to the week. You prep the night before and can be flexible with what goes into it. Indeed, it’s a great one for kids to prep for themselves. You don’t need to wait for an empty nut better jar, just add a tsp of nut better into your oats. We love in this house, or the fabulous
If you or your child don’t like the texture of say, sunflower seeds, you can leave them out, or grind them into a powder, or indeed, swop out for something like ground almonds.
If a teaspoon is too much, then half it.
If they/you don’t like blueberries, then swop for raspberries, or a little bit of banana.
If you can serve in the morning with a little bit of kefir, from , then all the better :)
